That sharp wince from cold water, ice cream or a hot coffee is sensitivity — and it usually starts where enamel has worn thin or gums have receded and exposed the tooth underneath. LACALUT® SENSITIVE is built to calm that response and protect the vulnerable areas, so everyday temperatures stop catching you out. Unlike toothpastes that only numb the feeling, the SENSITIVE system works on the cause — shielding exposed areas and helping to remineralise weakened enamel — while still cleaning thoroughly and protecting the gum line. Formulated in Germany and trusted across European pharmacies, it pairs a daily toothpaste for sensitive teeth with a matching mouthwash and an ultra-soft toothbrush. If cold, hot or sweet sets your teeth on edge, this is where to start.

What causes sensitive teeth

Sensitivity almost always traces back to exposed dentine — the softer layer beneath the enamel and gum. When enamel wears thin or gums recede, tiny channels in the dentine let cold, hot and sweet reach the nerve. More on the causes of sensitive teeth.

How LACALUT® SENSITIVE protects and calms

Rather than only masking the sensation, SENSITIVE shields the exposed areas and helps remineralise the weakened enamel surface, so the triggers that set off the nerve are blocked at the source — while still cleaning thoroughly and caring for the gum line.

Sensitive teeth AND gums — why the gum line matters

Recession is one of the biggest drivers of sensitivity, so protecting the gum line is part of the job. The SENSITIVE system cleans gently along the gum margin and suits people managing both sensitivity and a delicate gum line at once.

Building a gentle daily routine

Pair the toothpaste with the ultra-soft SENSITIVE toothbrush and the matching mouthwash, brush gently at the gum line twice a day, and avoid brushing straight after anything acidic. Consistency is what settles sensitivity for good.

Frequently asked questions

Look for one that shields exposed areas and protects the gum line rather than just masking the feeling — that's how LACALUT® SENSITIVE is formulated.

Why are my teeth suddenly sensitive?

Common causes are worn enamel, receding gums exposing the dentine, or brushing too hard. A softer brush and a protective toothpaste help.

Can sensitive toothpaste help receding gums?

It protects the exposed areas recession creates and supports the gum line, but pair it with a soft-bristle brush and gentle technique.

How long until it works?
