The science behind Sensodyne: Potassium Nitrate

Sensodyne Daily Care is specially formulated with Potassium nitrate

Formulations with Potassium nitrate build soothing protection by desensitising the nerve inside the tooth.^1,2

Potassium nitrate formulations build protection over time to help desensitise nerves in tooth pulp^3–6

Sensodyne Potassium formulations contain 5% Potassium nitrate. Potassium is an ingredient that is proven to reduce dentine hypersensitivity: ^3-6

Potassium ions can travel into exposed dentine tubules
Build-up of Potassium ions over time helps desensitise nerves in the tooth pulp, making them less responsive to sensitivity stimuli
