Title. I’m fairly confident it has not helped my gums be less sensitive in any regard.

    I tried it and it seems I’m one of those people sensitive to the formula so after a few days I had bleeding gums and constant pain. I stopped using it and things went back to normal.

    I tried two more times with different varieties, thinking perhaps I got a bad batch or maybe whatever irritates me wouldn’t be present in other sensodyne variety but no. Same results. Dentist said it happens to some people.

    You need to check ingredients , ai can do this usuay from a picture for you.

    Usually even cheap brands from Discounter have the same proven stuff in it.

    It had some limited effect when I used it for a while. For me it wasn’t good enough so I switched to a more environmentally friendly toothpaste

    Yes, have been using Sensodyne for years. Haven’t had sensitivity issues in a long time. The toothpaste with Novamin works better and has other benefits, but is significantly more expensive than the Pronamel line (also available at Costco!) which is cheaper but also effective against sensitivity imo

    I use it, and it has more helped with exposed tooth root sensitivity. Are you consistent with using it? I’m pretty sure it takes at least a few days to a week to build effectiveness and you have to keep using it without substitution.

    I haven’t used it in a while, but yes, it did. It took a while to be effective, and it did eventually plateau, but even though I no longer use it my teeth are far less sensitive than they were 10 years ago.
