Very curious as I was doing some toothpaste shopping. I’ve recently started having sensitive teeth and would like to know if it works and how. Thank you

Apparently it actually deadens the nerve endings so you dont feel the pain.

In most cases the pain is due to the sensitive area under your gumline being exposed due to your gums receding or channels, exposed areas caused by tooth decay. This kind of toothpaste gets in there and mildy deadens the nerves.
