Whitening

Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum Whitening is the stain-lifting SKU in Haleon's dual-action line. The Canadian page says it is clinically proven to relieve tooth sensitivity and improve gum health, then adds that twice-daily brushing also helps remove stains for whiter teeth.

The medicinal ingredient matches the mint SKU: stannous fluoride 0.454% w/w (0.11% w/w fluoride ion). Haleon positions it for people who want gum and sensitivity care without giving up whitening.

Origin does not change with the whitening claim. Haleon plc owns Sensodyne. Canadian tubes of this line are not evidenced as made here; Haleon toothpaste production sits in England and Slovakia.
