The new formulation found contains a unique balance of stannous fluoride and bio-adhesive polymer that rapidly forms a protective barrier over the exposed dentine, thus relieving tooth sensitivity in 60 seconds with dab-on applications and even from the first brush. “Tooth sensitivity sufferers could now feel the relief from the discomfort from the first brush or in 60-seconds through dab-on application of Sensodyne Rapid Relief,” said GSK general manager Bryan Wong.
