sensodyne tooth paste, or other such products, work by blocking the tubulents in the dentin. Tubulents are tiny little holes in the dentin of your teeth, that lead to the pulp chamber. These holes are natural, but when they are exposed, the will make your teeth feel sensitve. Therefore, by using sesodyne, you can block these holes, and prevent the sensitivity, but often times, when you stop using the toothpaste, the holes will be exposed again, and the sensitivity will return. In this case, I would advise you to see your dentist and explain your concerns. There are several options, depending on your condition, that he/she will be able to offer as a more permanent solution.
I hope this helps,

It does matter what paste you use in relation to sensitivity. The sensitive toothpaste has a component in it to block the microscopic (in layman's terms) nooks and crannies that allow the sensitive response to happen. Therefore if you use sensitive a layer of protection will be built up and if you use another paste (non sensitive) you will break that layer down. So use only the sensitive paste and if you don't like the Sensodyne try other brands like Crest or Aquafresh (which is ironically made by the same parent company as sensodyne). Many of my patients have found one that works well for them and tastes fine as well. Good luck! FYI ---Aquafresh® Sensitive Maximum Strength - Targets the source of sensitive teeth pain, soothes nerves and reduces painful sensitivity while fighting cavities.

Sensodyne didn't help me at all. My teeth were sensitive before using it, sensitive during use, and sensitive after use.

You must have had sensitive teeth or you wouldn't be using sensodyne. So yes, when you stop they will be more sensitive.
