The science behind Sensodyne: Stannous fluoride
Stannous fluoride formulation with bio-adhesive polymer accelerates occlusion of exposed dentine tubules
The unique formulation – with a balance of active Stannous fluoride and bio-adhesive polymer – accelerates occlusion of dentine tubules by:1
- Providing improved bio-adhesion*3
- Forming a gel-like scaffold to hold the stannous in place1
*vs. toothpaste containing 0.454% Stannous fluoride and lower polymer level
