Has Sensodyne helped your teeth/gums feel less temperature sensitive? (lemm.ee)

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

Yes, I've found the versions with potassium nitrate to work best for me. And non-whitening too, I think they are a little less abrasive.

What helped the most though is convincing my dentist to give me a fluoride treatment at my checkup every 6 months. Where I live, they stop providing those by default around age 12.

Edit: ope, I just got billed for the fluoride treatment from my recent visit. Reason given: "patient is over age limit for this benefit". Hot trash. Our teeth don't stop needing fluoride at age 12, the insurance companies just don't want to pay for it.

So pay attention to insurance coverage and charging if you decide to try it.
