What is Sensodent K Paste used for?

Management of dentinal hypersensitivity (tooth sensitivity) to hot/cold/sweet/acidic stimuli; prevention of dental caries and strengthening of enamel as part of daily oral hygiene

How Sensodent K Paste Works

Potassium nitrate reduces sensitivity by depolarizing nerve endings in exposed dentin, decreasing pain signal transmission. Sodium monofluorophosphate releases fluoride that enhances remineralization and makes enamel more resistant to acid attack, helping prevent cavities.

Dosage & Directions
