My teeth are not sensitive at the moment, since my recently installed molar crown is settling in well. Sanino has a clean, fresh taste - slightly minty with a hint of - well, the secondary flavor is very elusive. I love that it has fluoride. A Google search did not turn up a company website, nor was there any mention of one on the package. But that search did turn up the following characteristics of this toothpaste: "Featured Features" (as translated by Google Translate): Sensitive Teeth: Special protection against sensitivity. Complete Care: Comprehensive cleaning for oral health. Whitening: Helps teeth look whiter. Advantage: Multiple purchase options and a free toothbrush.
