Sensodyne 24/7 Protection Range

Dreadful effects from toothpaste!!!!! – Almost immediately caused sore gums and inside lips very sore... Painful to eat... Stopped using 48 hrs ago and still sore and painful... I ve never had this issue before! I was recommended this toothpaste by my dentist. I think Sensodyne should review their products... Show details

Terrible – I fully agree with others that say it made their teeth hurt. I was recommended it by a dentist, instantly my teeth felt pain. I stopped using it and when I next saw my dentist he said he'd never heard such a thing. Apparently its more common than I thought. There are numerous threads on the net about people experiencing the exact same issues with… Read more

this stuff. And I now see it here. It was like brushing my sensitive teeth with lemon juice! Another well know brand, no problems.

Mouth ulcers, very sore, swollen tongue – I tried 3 different types of sensodyne as the first ones I used were free samples from the dentist. A week after I started using it I got one or two mouth ulcers, didn’t pay attention at first, thought I needed more vitamins or something like that. But at the end of the second week I started also getting ulcers at the bottom of my tongue, in the… Read more

third week my tongue became white/yellow, I lost taste, I mean I found myself adding salt to my food which it’s something I hardly ever do, everything started to taste sooooo simple and plain, and I continued getting more and more ulcers which at this point is still really painful to eat or to swallow. I visited the doc telling her the only thing I changed was the toothpaste but she did some exams to see if I have Herpes.. I don’t have that… so yeah it was the toothpaste. (Also I noticed two things that I can’t say it was because of this toothpaste, but I felt in the third week a bit of chest pain, and found myself feeling low energized which is also weird for me) Honestly I find incredible to know Sensodyne has so many side effects, reading these reviews made me realize there are heaps of people having the same reaction to it, and dentists are still recommending this rubbish? This brand should be accountable for not warning the terribles side effects, and for causing such pain to their customers. I never felt It helped me with sensibility either, so I’m glad I don’t have to spend a lot of money buying this terrible toothpaste that is also not cruelty free. If this is the “final product” they are selling I can’t even imagine the horrendous things the poor lab animals have to experience. The side effects made me feel already as a lab rat.

I’m coming back to my regular cruelty free toothpaste that never gave me problems ❤️

Beware burnt tongue feeling! – I started using sensodyne earlier this year and it seemed ok. About a month ago I noticed my tongue felt burnt and I thought I must have burnt it on coffee or something I ate. Normally those things heal within a day or two and when it didn’t heal I started to wonder what I had eaten and then the more I thought about it, the more I was sure I… Read more

hadn’t burnt my mouth on anything. So I suspected that maybe it was a curry or something spicy in my diet or too much caffeine. So I cut those things out as much as possible. It got worse each day and for days I had no appetite to eat or drink anything with a strong flavour. My mouth was sore and my tongue numb/tingly. I was close to making an appointment with the doc and was sure I would be told I had BMS. I didn’t consider my toothpaste at all and often switched between the various sensodyne brands. It slowly started to feel better (after 3 weeks) and yesterday it was feeling much better, pretty much back to normal. Then this morning I woke up and it was numb and sore all over again with little blisters on tip of tongue - just like a month ago! As I was brushing my teeth tonight I realized I had just gone back to the dual action sensitivity and gum version the night before, which is what I had previously used when this first started (before buying another sensodyne one by chance which is when it started to clear)! I hopped on to google and found numerous other stories just like mine! How is this stuff even on the shelves still? Horrid!

Works well for me - both UK and Thailand made are available – I'm new to using this toothpaste after damaging my teeth through years of whitening toothpaste use left them sensitive to temperature. My dentist told me it could take up to 2 weeks to gain relief but it seemed to work after 1 week. He also suggested the other brands may be just as good but I've just stuck with this one. It is rather overpriced so… Read more

I just buy a couple when they are on special, as it does go on special every month or so. After reading these reviews I checked the boxes to see where they are made and found that some varieties are made in the UK and others are made in Thailand. I don't think I've tried the Thailand ones, so I might avoid those, but the UK ones are still available in Coles and work well for me. You need to use 2 times a day, as I was told it puts a "film" over the teeth which protect them from the cold etc which will be washed off if you use another regular toothpaste. It does stop the sensitivity for me It is overpriced

Good – This toothpaste is good for those who have pain in my gums or those who tend to suffer dryness around their moth area after brushing their teeth as this toothpaste is less harsh than colgare. Though don't expect harsh cleaning value from this tube. This toothpaste is expensive compared to a lot of other drugstore toothpastes and is best bought… Read more

with another toothpaste to interchange from time to time. Also those who don't like a strong taste, you would like this toothpaste. My skin is prone to dryness especially area my mouth after brushing my teeth. I tend to use Colgate and perhaps its the cleaning properties that causes the area around my mouth to dry out. Due to this problem, I decided to buy sensodyne and also for the reason that my wisdom teeth were growing and still is, which results in pain around the gum area from time to time. Sensodyne is less harsh for the skin area around my mouth compared to colgate. Sensodyne does help to clean my teeth with more confort when my gums are in pain compared to colgate. Doesn't clean my clean as well as Colgate and I prefer the strong minty smell of Colgate. The smell of sensodyne is more subtle. The toothpaste is expensive.

My toothsaver! – Wow!!! I have no words.. I was about to extract my tooth due to excruciating pain and swollen gum line. Dentist recommended I do a root canal or extract the tooth to my dismay. Tried Sensodyne repair and protect for a week. It's been 3 weeks and the pain has vanished. The best part is: I can even chew on that side of my mouth! Thank you !!! Love you Sensodyne repair and protect.

Great toothpaste but the NZ ad is enough to turn you right off the product – Been using the toothpaste for years. It's great, the best sensitive toothpaste on the market, but please change the NZ ad, the girls' voices could crack glass and makes the ad unwatchable.

Can't use anthing else – I usually would use a sensitive toothpaste but then I thought it would be fine to use any tooth paste, after using macleans normal toothpaste for a while I started to get a really bad sharp pain on one of my teeth, I went to the dentist and had xrays and all that jazz, in the end nothing major was wrong they suggested that I should try using… Read more

sensodyne to see if it goes away if not them come back in. I used the sensodyne and literally after 1 brush the shooting pain rapidly went down, after about a week it was no longer a shooting pain and now after 2 months I have no pain at all what so ever! My pain was so bad before that I couldn't eat anything too warm because it would create the worst pain, but the food was really a normal heated temperature that everyone was eating, now I haven't had that problem once and I'm literally scared not to use sensodyne, I would never ever change!

Very painful experience – I suddenly started having extremely painful teeth, swollen gums, swollen throat, chest pain, diarhea. Blood pressure was always extremely low. Thought it might be infection. Dentist said she can see inflamed gums but couldn't figure out the reason. Told me its not infection for sure. Suggested to rinse mouth with salt water and take painkillers.… Read more

Nothing helped for a month. Then luckily found this page and changed my toothpaste 2 days ago. Already feeling much better. Slight pain in teeth left but everything else is normal now. Gums are feeling normal, chest pain disappeared and stomach that has been upset for a month is suddenly normal again. Don't know if these all issues were because of this toothpaste but changing the toothpaste has helped. I was extremely dizzy, blood pressure was in 90s and 50s, whenever I would stand up, felt I was gonna faint. Had my ECG done which was normal. Every issue disappeared in just 2 days after changing the toothpaste.

Awful caused pain in all teeth – Bought it as thought would be good to try however I started to get shooting pain in all teeth as if the cold had just got to them. Terrible pain in all teeth figured out I’d changed to sensodyne so stopped using 2 weeks ago. Teeth are improving gradually no where near as bad just can’t believe how I’ll I’ve felt

Made my life hell!!! – This toothpaste (sensodyne rapid gum repair) has gave me sore receding gums, mouth sores and enormous amounts of pain, I’ve barely slept in weeks due to pain in my mouth, I’ve ended up with a chest infection swollen glands. I’ve been taking ridiculous amounts of painkillers just to get through the day because of the pain in my mouth. Then realised… Read more

my toothpaste is the only thing I changed! Straight after brushing my teeth with oral B I started to feel better. How is sensodyne getting away with this??? I’m gob smacked reading all these messages that toothpaste is the cause. Wth

Causes soreness – I've used several types of Sensodyne toothpastes for several years without problems. Bought the Sensitivity & Gum Dual Action Extra Fresh tube and developed bad soreness in my inner lips. Pain was like having a mouth full of ulcers. Inner lips turned white. Immediate improvement after I stopped using it, but took 3 weeks to fully recover from its effects. Show details

Really sore lower gums after using this – I'm finding my lower gums are so sore and irritated after using some of the Sensodyne range. I noticed it a few weeks ago whilst using the Gum care toothpaste, stopped using it and the pain disappeared, then I inadvertently started using another Sensodyne product - Complete Care but now have the same symptoms so have stopped using it too. Never… Read more

Have you changed ingredients – I used to use this product without any concerns. Now I’m getting a sore mouth, tongue and lips when brushing. Please I need this for my gums without it burning my mouth and lips.  Show details

Sensodyne rapid relief- I can’t taste sweet and salt anymore – After using sensodyne rapid relief my tongue tip especially is numb as if it’s burnt and slowly spreading to whole mouth and I can’t taste the sweet and saltiness of any food.  Show details

Palette still sore 3 weeks after ceasing use – I have chronic acid reflux so bought this to protect my teeth from the corrosive effects of pepsin. Within a week of using this product I developed ulcers on top and bottom lips, and my soft palette behind my top front teeth got sore, almost like I'd burned my mouth. Now, three weeks on, I still get intermittent pain on my soft palette. As others have said, I have an acidic taste in my mouth - however this is likely due mostly to the reflux. Show details

At last – So glad I’ve googled this my tongue is dry sore and burning and also my throat I was going to ring the docs but shall leave toothpaste off see if improves Show details

Sensodyne Rapid Relief – I started using this toothpaste about a week ago and I noticed that my tongue was is always burning. It also feels very dry like there is a coating on it. I did help the sensitive teeth, but honestly I would rather have my teeth hurt. It's very expensive too. Show details

No issues until I tried Sensodyne rapid!! – Yes, I have the burning tongue and throat just feels odd and tingly. Started on sensodyne rapid relief a few weeks ago. This is the worst stuff. Only stopped yesterday after seeing this post!!! Show details

Swollen gums and existing sores painful and slow to heal – Tried the Sensodyne Repair and Protect. Got swollen gums and my existing painful sores painful and slow to heal. So suspect is due to the new toothpaste. Has switched back to my familiar Sensodyne Fresh Mint which has been good for me. Show details

Beware of sensodyne – I purchased sensodyne extra fresh complete care after using the more basic varieties for years with excellent results. I wish I had read these reviews earlier as it has taken me several months, dental visits and blood tests to realise the toothpaste is the cause of my issues. I have experienced an extremely dry mouth which I have never had ever.… Read more

The tip of my tongue and in front of my lower teeth even had a numb weird feeling. My gums then became sensitive and tender on brushing. Sensodyne needs to be accountable for these products, I have lost all trust in this brand.

Change for the worse – I had been using Sensodyne forever. I usually buy Extra Whitening but my store was out so I bought Whitening Repair and Protect. I first noticed the texture was totally different, more liquidy. Immediately upon starting to brush, my teeth hurt incredibly and not just in the usual trouble spots. I have noticed that my teeth sensitivity has… Read more

dramatically increased since I started using this new tube. I am discontinuing use and looking for a new toothpaste brand that helps with sensitivity. By the way, I loved the old product. I am so disappointed.

BEWARE!!! – I purchased the new Sensodyne Dual action specifically for my husband as he has Gingivitis and thought I would use it myself. Both my husband and I have ended up with very red, sore and inflamed gums. I also ended up with mouth ulcers. We have stopped using this product and are hesitant in using any Sensodyne products again. Show details

Buyer Beware! – After using the original Sensodyne for years I switched to the '& Gum' and experienced severe side effects - starting with a sore and swollen tongue, inside of my mouth sensitive and painful, swollen glands, headache, constant horrible taste .. it was difficult to eat and I felt awful. Initially thought I was biting my tongue and had dentist… Read more

file down two teeth, then blamed it on hot curry I'd eaten or allergy to some food - after about three weeks of suffering realised problems had started after I changed to a new Sensodyne. Googled and read the Reviews and was amazed to find many users had similar bad reactions. I stopped using the toothpaste and saw my doctor, who recommended rinsing with salt water. Three weeks later symptoms are easing, but very slowly. Before this horrible experience I was a healthy and active 87-year-old - I still don't feel well, still have the bad taste, sore tongue and mouth, headache, sensitive gums and teeth, and feel tired and depressed. I suggest Sensodyne add to their warnings, "Definitely not for use by the elderly". This product does not deserve even a One star rating and should not be on sale.

Sensodyne repair and protect gums – I used sensodyne repair and protect and I experienced swollen gums and all had mouth ulcers,so I said let me research to make sure, there is so many issues with this toothpaste why is it still on the selves, they need to test and see what is causing these issues Show details

Horrible! Mouth ulcers and sores!! – I started using Sensodyne 2 weeks ago after given a few samples from my dentist for my sensitive teeth. I noticed on the second day i started developing ulcers under my tongue which were extremely painful. As i continued using, i developed more and more sores to the point where the lining of my gums and the bottom of my tongue were swollen and… Read more

bright red. I immediately took to google and of course it was a symptom of mouth cancer! It wasnt until a few mornings ago when i had finished the sample sized tube that it occured to me that this was the only thing i had changed in my oral hygiene since i started developing these awful symptoms. I have thrown out the rest of the samples and have noticed the inflamation subsiding! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS! They should really warm customers that there would be possibilities of immense side effects to this toothpaste!

Burning gums and lips with disgusting taste – Side effects of burning gums and lips and tastes disgusting - after 4 days I switched back to the other Sensodyne toothpaste - this one is in the bin will NOT be buying again!! Show details

Severe reaction to this product – After using this product ,I got sores on the lining of my mouth & under my tongue. Before I realised what was causing this , I went to the doctor as the reaction I had was so severe. I was put on steroids by my doctor but to no avail. I was really despairing until I finally connected the problem I was having to this toothpaste after a few… Read more

terrible weeks. My lips were swollen and cracked. I got a burning sensation on the inside of my mouth and corners of my mouth were cracked. Never again for this product.

Unreal this product is still for sale – Like others on here I developed sore gums, mouth and white stinging tongue.Tried anti biotics and then the Doctor gave me Steroids.Nothing worked.The only thing I could think off that after 10 years I had changed to Sensodyne.Saw the reviews on here and stopped using Sensodyne immediately.Started improving straight away and now after 7 days returned to normal.How is this product still for sale? Show details

Horrible experience! – I purchased Sensodyne Rapid Relief and used it 3 days. My tongue is white, I have sores in my mouth and everything I try to eat burns my mouth. O and I have no taste at all. Can't say if it helps tooth sensitivity because I'm throwing it in the trash. Never again! Very bad experience. Show details

Sensodyne Build and Repair: HORRIBLE!!! – Horrible side Effects!!! Burning lips, roof of mouth, gums and tongue , metal tasting and sore teeth. I thought I had BMS because those are all the signs but then realized I had switched tooth paste. This caused major pain and discomfort and sleepless nights. I bought aloe juice to calm the pain down. Never use this product. Show details

Aching teeth – Side effects of Sensodyne are worse than what the toothpaste is designed to help - sensitivity. After 3 weeks of use, all of my teeth started to ache and I developed swollen glands. My face started to feel stiff and very painful to eat. I had to take painkillers and stopped using Sensodyne. Within 48 hours my teeth were back to normal, my glands had gone down, and my face is not stiff and achy. Never going to touch this toothpaste again. Show details

sore lips and mouth – Two persistent sores on my upper lip and now inside the mouth. In the beginning I did not know what was the cause, but I have noticed since last week that each time I brushed my teeth, the sores got worse. I stopped using it since yesterday and I am feeling a little better. I only used salt to brush my teeth since yesterday and it seems to be better than the tooth paste! Show details
