8.6/10 Our verdictHands-on tested, not gifted

The whitening toothpaste that doesn't hurt sensitive teeth. Two years in, it whitens gradually without the zing harsher whiteners give you.

The full review

Whitening without the zing

I've used Sensodyne Pronamel Gentle Whitening for about two years, and it actually helps with sensitivity without making my teeth hurt. It's around $6-8 a tube and whitens gradually without being harsh, no cold-water zing after brushing.

I tried the Colgate Sensitive Whitening too, which is cheaper at around $4-5, but it doesn't work as well for me. Sensodyne is worth the extra couple of bucks.

What I liked

  • Whitens without triggering sensitivity
  • Gentle, enamel-focused formula
  • Affordable at ~$6-8
  • No post-brush zing

What to know

  • Gradual whitening, not instant
  • Pricier than basic Colgate
  • Won't match a dentist bleaching
  • Consistency matters, use daily

Common questions

Does whitening toothpaste hurt sensitive teeth?

Harsh whiteners can, Pronamel whitens gently without the zing, which is the whole point.

Sensodyne vs Colgate Sensitive?

Sensodyne worked noticeably better for me; Colgate is cheaper but less effective in my experience.
