SENSODYNER (Original)
Active Ingredient:
- Strontium chloride 10%

SENSODYNE Gum Care
With additional sodium bicarbonate to protect the gum.
SENSODYNE Cool Gel
- Potassium nitrate 5%, Fluoride
- Brush your teeth twice a day
How it works
- Potassium nitrate (KNO3)
When the toothpaste is mixed with the saliva, KCL will release K ions. K ions will slip under the dentin tubule and cover the nerves in pulps, decreasing sensitivity of the nerves.
Sensodyne as the Support of Bleaching Treatment
- Based on a research by Cooper, Bookmeyer, and Bowles in 1992, active ingredient in bleaching can penetrate inside the enamel and dentin and reach the pulp chamber and increase sensitivity of teeth as a form of symptoms of reversible pulpits.
- Sensodyne with active ingredient of potassium nitrat dan fluoride (Sensodyne F) when used before and during bleaching treatment can be used to solve tooth sensitivity problems as a side effect of bleaching treatment (Haywood, 2005)
N=220 subject; 2 weeks before a scheduled bleaching until 14th day of bleaching using Sensodyne FreshMint vs regular fluoride toothpaste (Crest™).
