Sensodyne Daily Care Gentle Whitening is a fluoride toothpaste designed for people with sensitive teeth who also want to gently whiten their smile.

Product features
- Dual-action formula: This toothpaste works to both protect against tooth sensitivity and remove surface stains.
- Sensitivity protection: Ingredients like potassium nitrate help desensitize the nerves inside your teeth, providing relief from the “short, sharp twinge” caused by hot and cold foods.

- Enamel and cavity protection: The formula contains fluoride to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against decay.
- Fresh mint flavor: It has a pleasant minty taste that leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh.
How it works
The toothpaste tackles tooth sensitivity by using potassium nitrate to desensitize the nerves. When enamel is worn away or gums recede, exposed dentin can cause pain when stimulated by hot or cold items. The potassium nitrate in Sensodyne helps soothe and protect these exposed nerves.
For whitening, the formula contains small, low-abrasion cleaning particles, such as hydrated silica and alumina, which come into contact with the tooth surface to effectively and gently remove surface stains.
