Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Subject has at least one affected hypersensitive tooth upon air blast stimuli in the cervical area, and baseline pain score of 40 mm and above as assessed by the 100 mm VAS. Subject is at least 18 years old and have a minimum of 20 natural teeth. Subject is willing to withhold desensitizing treatment, including prescription, in-office or over the counter (OTC) desensitizing products, throughout the study period AND withhold during the washout period. Subject agrees to only use the provided toothpaste, toothbrush, and follows all oral hygiene instructions throughout the study period AND follows all oral hygiene instructions during the washout period. Subject is able to understand and willing to sign the Informed Consent, and is willing to return to the study facility for scheduled study visits and recalls.

Subject is pregnant (self-reported) or breast feeding. Subject has allergies to product ingredients, eg, rosin, mint flavoring. Subject has systemic conditions that are etiologic or predisposing to dentin hypersensitivity (eg, chronic acid regurgitation). Subject has excessive dietary or environmental exposure to acids at time of screening. Subject had periodontal treatment, bleaching treatments, or orthodontic treatments within previous 3 months or plans to have any other dental treatments during the study period. Subject is enrolled in another clinical trial at the time of screening that would interfere with this study. Subject is, in the opinion of the investigator, unsuitable for enrollment in the study for reasons other than those specified in the above exclusion criteria. Individual teeth may not be included that meet any of the following criteria: Study tooth has periodontal probing depth of ≥ 4 mm. Study tooth or the surrounding supporting tissue has any other painful pathology or defects. Study tooth has been restored in the preceding 3 months. Study tooth is an abutment for fixed or removable prostheses or suffers traumatic malocclusion. Study tooth is crowned or extensively restored and the restorations extending into the test area. The tooth has dentin hypersensitivity due to cracked enamel.
