• •Participant has had professional tooth de-sensitising treatment within 8 weeks of Screening (Visit 1).
• •Participant has had a tooth bleaching procedure within 8 weeks of Screening (Visit 1).
• •Participant has had dental prophylaxis within 4 weeks of Screening (Visit 1).
• •Participant has had treatment for periodontal disease (including surgery) within 12 months of Screening (Visit 1).

• •3. Tooth with exposed dentin and deep, defective or facial restorations.
• •4. Tooth with a full crown or veneer.
• •5. Tooth adjacent to a bridge abutment or crown which, in the opinion of the investigator or dentally qualified designee, could impact study outcomes.
• •6. Sensitive tooth with contributing etiologies other than EAR to exposed dentin.
• •7. Sensitive tooth not expected to benefit from use of an anti-sensitivity toothpaste, in the opinion of the investigator or dentally qualified designee.
• •Participant who, in the opinion of the investigator or designee, is unable to provide appropriate responses to the Labelled Magnitude Scale (LMS) training questions.
