Sensodyne Original Mint toothpaste

Sensodyne is a globally recognized oral healthcare brand specifically formulated for people with sensitive teeth. The brand was originally launched in 1961 by Block Drug, a company based in Brooklyn, New York. Over the decades, it has become one of the most trusted names in the dental industry, frequently recommended by dentists worldwide for its effective use of potassium nitrate to soothe dental nerves.

In 2001, Block Drug was acquired by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). More recently, in July 2022, GSK spun off its consumer healthcare division to form Haleon. Consequently, Sensodyne is now a flagship brand under the Haleon portfolio. While the brand has American roots, its manufacturing is now conducted across multiple global facilities including the United Kingdom, United States, and India to supply various regional markets. Haleon remains the ultimate owner, headquartered in Weybridge, United Kingdom.
