Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum
Original
Sensodyne Sensitivity & Gum is the parent listing for Haleon's dual-action Canadian paste for tooth sensitivity and gum problems. The Canadian product page says it builds a protective layer over sensitive areas and targets plaque bacteria to help reduce gum problems, with twice-daily brushing that also helps lift stains.
The medicinal ingredient on that page is stannous fluoride 0.454% w/w (0.11% w/w fluoride ion). Sensodyne markets this line as clinically proven for sensitivity relief and improved gum health, and as the number one dentist-recommended brand for sensitive teeth in Canada.
It is not a Canadian-made product. Haleon plc of Weybridge, England owns Sensodyne. Haleon Canada ULC has a Mississauga corporate office, while Sensodyne toothpaste has been made at Maidenhead, England, with that production transferring to Levice, Slovakia.
