Repair and Protect Toothpaste is like torture

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I go through my day eating, drinking, and talking for hours for my school and work. My new tube of sensodyne has made my entire life *** and all of these thins like torture. I have the most raw and ulcerated gums that bleed furiously each time i brush my teeth, the bottom of my tounge and gums are ulcerated and raw and ache every time i eat or brush. the inside of my lips swell and ulcerate every time i now brush. i floss frequently but have now been *** blood when i floss. I have been a sensodyne user for years and used to love it but will have to switch now because my life has become *** these past few weeks in excruciating pain

Several ulcers from sensodyne

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I always used sensodyne in Europe. When I moved here and bought a double package of amazone, I started to get terrible ulcers under my tongue for a month. The doctor and the dentist didn’t understand what it was. I quit using sensodyne and it was gone in 1/2 days! Rediculous!

Sores/swollen lips/burning/dryness

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Never had problems with any of the other Sensodyne toothpaste, but the rapid relief has given me swollen lips, sores on outside of lips, burning and dryness. So glad I read the prior complaints as I thought I was having an allergy to something I had eaten. Not sure what is in this toothpaste that is different, but definitely switching.

Sensodyn ruined my teeth

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Over a three year period of using Sensodyn, my enamel is gone and so are most of my back teeth. Instead of protecting my enamel, it in fact has done the opposite. Sensodyn... I hate you!!!

Couldn't believe toothpaste could cause so much pain!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have used Sensodyne for years but recently tried the Repair and Protect. I have developed canker sores and my entire mouth is just sore - under my tongue, on my tongue, gums, and back of my throat. And my lips are ridiculously chapped and burning. I rarely have chapped lips except on occassion in the middle of winter. I have been swimming at the gym and thought it might have been the chlorine getting in my mouth but have been swimming months and took a few days off. My mouth is still killing me. In the morning I feel like I can't even eat or swallow. It then hit me that I started this new toothpaste a few days before symptoms started. So, like many people on here I Googled the toothpaste and see I am not alone. I'm about to email Sensodyne and the FDA!

Caused intense pain and increased sensitivity

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Switched to Sensodyne following advice from my hygienist (I have sensitive teeth but otherwise no problems). Bad move!

As soon as the toothpaste touched my teeth I experienced very sharp pain on all teeth and burning sensation in gums. Persevered for a few days thinking it might settle down, but teeth and gums hurting so much today I threw the toothpaste away and returned to my usual brand. Guess what? No more pain and burning gums.

Sensodyne clearly isn’t for everyone with sensitive teeth. It’s expensive too, compared with other brands. I would advice you to try a sample before buying the full tube of toothpaste.

I read the small print on the back of the tube earlier today and it does say somewhere buried in there ‘if irritation occurs discontinue use’ however I wouldn’t expect this to happen with a toothpaste that is supposed to be formulated for sensitive teeth and the heavy marketing that goes with it too. Such discomfort!

Worst mouth Pain ever in my life!!

Started using this and i have been in so much pain. First i had no taste that lasted a few weeks. Then i got ulcers all over the roof of my mouth. Went to dentist had to have a tooth pulled so i went ahead and had a cleaning too. Bu now my gums were so sore and inflamed it felt like i was brushing my teeth with a razor blade. So painful!! My dentist had taken a biopsy which was a additional 450.00. Still haven’t got results but there’s no doubt in my mind that its the toothpaste. I believe it something to do with the Stannous Fluoride I must be having a reaction too. Needless to say i will never use it again. I can’t even brush my teeth. I order sponges. This has been very costly and awful painful. Are my gums ever going to get better?

Destroyed my mouth

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I had no idea Sensodyne was causing all my mouth pain. It started about 10 days in and my inner lip was swollen and sore, like it was scratched. Then my lips started cracking to the point I could barely eat. Went away for a week and used a travel toothpaste (Colgate) and my mouth felt better. Assumed I was healing. Started Sensyagain when I got home and now 3 days later I can’t drink and my lips are cracking. That’s what led me to google my symptoms in relation to this toothpaste. I’d like to know why their isn’t a warning and if a class action has been filed yet. This is ridiculous to use a toothpaste made to relieve sensitive teeth and it instead causes mouth sores and irritation!!

I have been using sensodyne for years. I have been experiencing extremely dry mouth.

Dry flaking eyelids, then most recently raw swollen lips and mouth sores. After a long process of elimination and finding this website I stopped using sensodyne and I’m waiting for my lips and mouth to heal.

Mouth Sores

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I have been using Sensodyne Repair and Protect for about 5 days. I now have several sores in my mouth and on my tongue. There are several areas that are red, raw, bumpy and very painful. That toothpaste has torn up my mouth. I have now contacted my physician for something to treat. This is a horrible product. I would not recommend to anybody.

Same thing happened to me after using Sensodyne toothpaste. Painful tongue, lips and mouth.

Hope this goes away soon! Would not recommend this product after this experience.

Sensodyne caused Mouth Ulcers Sore Tongue and Gums

I had developed swollen lips , mouth ulcers sore gums and what felt like cuts on my tongue . I was in a lot of pain . Doc prescribed 2 x courses of antibiotics within a month and blood tests were clear . Then another doc prescribed cortisone pills and anti inflammatory pills . I then stopped using vitamin pills and protein shakes and the Toothpaste and any other suspected product. After 3 weeks of no issue I reintroduced each product . Needless to say after a week of using Sensodyne again ... the symptoms started to reappear . Looking back this toothpaste was recommended by my dentist about a month prior to this entire issue . How ridiculous and irresponsible of the manufacturers ! I’m utterly disgusted and yes pissed off I went through this and spent a fortune on doctors bills and medication . I’ve now switched to Colgate . Life is good again .

Dry rash side of mouth

I’ve been using various sensodyne toothpastes for years and it actually helped the sensitivity of my Terry but most importantly, other brands always left dry flakey sore marks at the side of my lips. My newest tube of sensodyne has now started to leave these marking on me so I now have to find a new brand! Does anyone know what it is they have changed so I can identify what is causing my irritation?

Painful gums on inside lip

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I had recently switched to sensodyne for sensitivity and gum as I had both of those issues. Unfortunately each time I used a had a burning feeling on my gums all over but I didn’t think anything of it. For the last weeks I have experienced a severe painful and very dry mouth around the inside of my lip gums. It made become very paranoid of what was happening to my teeth and gums. It has been a few days now since I switched back to Colgate and slowly the pain is starting to decrease. I am very disappointed as a consumer of this product.

Experienced very sensitive teeth

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I choose to try a new complete care sensodyne but as soon as I started using it my mouth started aching and was severely irritated. Everything became too hot to me, I always suffer from dry mouth and my gums hurt all day. So finally I started looking up other reviews and saw it may be the toothpaste. After that I used a different toothpaste and immediately the pain ceased... That whole week I suffered sore throats and bad allergies to this toothpaste. I do not recommend it.
