POT NITRATE
Description: As we age, our gums start to recede, exposing the root of the tooth. In fact, 8 out of every 10 older adults have some gum recession. This can make teeth more sensitive to hot and cold because more of the tooth is exposed. It is also the primary reason why over half of older adults will develop new cavities at the gumline.
SENSOWIN Sensitive Pain Relieving Toothpaste ... the first and only sensitive teeth toothpaste specially formulated to meet the special needs of adults with receding gums.
SENSOWIN works two ways: (1) Nothing is better than SENSOWIN at providing pain relief of sensitive teeth; and (2) SENSOWIN has 33% more fluoride than other sensitive teeth toothpastes to aid in the prevention of cavities.
Active Ingredients:
POTASSIUM NITRATE 5%
SODIUM MONOFLUOROPHOSPHATE (0.20% W/V FLUORIDE ION).
