What Is Stannous Fluoride?

Stannous fluoride is a chemical compound that targets both tooth sensitivity and gum health. It works like a shield by creating a barrier to protect the exposed, soft, inner part of the tooth called dentin. This shield helps prevent triggers, like cold drinks, sweets, or coffee, from reaching the nerves inside the tooth and causing sensitivity.

It also helps target and remove plaque bacteria associated with gingivitis. And its antimicrobial activity helps improve gum health by preventing bacteria build up.
