Mint

Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum Mint is the mint SKU of Haleon's dual-action Canadian paste. The product page says the formula is clinically proven to relieve tooth sensitivity and improve gum health, by building a protective layer over sensitive areas and targeting plaque bacteria.

Medicinal ingredient: stannous fluoride 0.454% w/w (0.11% w/w fluoride ion). The same page lists whitening, Proactive Protect, and Gum & Enamel as sibling SKUs in the line.

Canadian shoppers can buy it, but the origin story is Haleon's: British ownership, a Mississauga office rather than a factory, and toothpaste making in Maidenhead, England, moving to Levice, Slovakia.
