This absolutely does work since the active ingredient, potassium nitrate, is exactly what is in Sensodyne, and is the proven effective and well accepted compound to use for the condition of sensitivity due to loss of tooth enamel. Many skeptics of natural products fear they won't be strong enough to be effective, which just isn't true for most things, but this actually has the same effectiveness. Sensodyne, like every other non all-natural toothpaste, is full of harmful synthetic chemicals. All those other inactive ingredients are irrelevant when it comes to sensitivity and are mainly there to make the paste foam, sickeningly sweet, and dyed. The only other paste for sensitivity I know of that uses a different ingredient is a version of Sensodyne available in Canada that has strontium chloride instead (although Canada also has the one with potassium nitrate too). Potassium nitrate works by crystallizing with minerals present in saliva and filling in the pores in the tooth, causing the pain signal to the nerve to be interrupted. Remember though, nothing can replace lost tooth enamel so if one's condition is severe they may not get as much relief. There can also be other factors going on like inflammation of the gums or nerve roots that need to be addressed. Clenching and/or grinding teeth at night, brushing too hard with bristles too coarse, and eating/drinking acidic foods cause this condition and make it much worse if continued. It takes many weeks to feel results as the pores are getting filled. I am thrilled that they make this as I am so adamantly against scrubbing carcinogens into my oral mucosa that I refused to treat my sensitive teeth before I found this so I could continue using natural toothpastes. It tastes great and the wintergreen is refreshing.

After getting painful canker sores (sometimes more than 1 at a time) and trying many home remedies with little success, I finally tried Tom's SLS-free toothpaste 6 months ago. I have not had a canker sore since.
It takes awhile to get used to the fact that the toothpaste doesn't foam much, but the flavors are very nice and the relief from canker sores is WELL worth the lack of bubbles.

I am pleased with this product so far. For natural toothpaste it tastes pretty good. I went to the product's website to find out additional information on the product before I ordered. The only thing I wished would have been added to the information is that it is recommended to use this product for only 4 weeks at a time unless directed by the dentist. I'm not sure why but I intend to find out.

About a year ago my dentist finally convinced me to switch to a toothpaste for sensitive teeth, as i had been getting some very uncomfortable sensations on certain teeth when eating or drinking even mildly warm foods. The dentist recommended sensodyne, but since I didn't know what half of the chemicals were in it, I turned to Toms of Maine. I'd used Toms products before and liked them alot and was glad to find that they made a product for sensitive teeh. I've used it for about a year and have had no issues with my teeth. Recently, I happened to run out, and started using a tube of Tom's regular toothpaste. Wow! Within a week i knew how well the sensitive version had worked, and promptly went out a got a new tube! It really has been saving me from alot of VERy uncomfortable temperature sensitivity!!! Tastes great too - I recommend it!

I REALLY wanted to like this toothpaste! I LOVE Tom's of Maine products and even their toothpaste flavors. My painful sensitive teeth, however, prompted me to change toothpastes and try this. Bottom line, it tastes good but does not work. I had to go with Sensodyne, which does work. Sorry, Tom.
