“Can you leave Sensodyne on teeth overnight?”
I am a 30 year old female. I want to know if you can leave Sensodyne on teeth overnight?

Yes. It can help reduce the sensitivity of hypersensitive teeth; specifically root surfaces and new crown margins.
Yes. It’s actually more effective if you don’t rinse after you brush with it. Just expectorate the excess.
Yes. I often recommend to patients that, at night, they brush their teeth and then take a little Sensodyne on a finger and rub it into whatever teeth are sensitive. Spit out the excess but don't rinse, and then go to bed. It allows the Sensodyne to soak into the teeth overnight and, I have personally found, often helps cut down on tooth sensitivity.
Yes! Brush it on dry, no water needed. Spit all you can and don’t rinse.
Only in a retainer of some kind. I would suggest a very small amount so you don't swallow it. Also, make sure it is regular sensodyne, no whitening.

Yes. Not on all the teeth but just apply a little bit on sensitive teeth and don’t rinse
yes
Yes, I believe you can...I would choose to spit out as much of it as you can, but leave the remaining residue on the teeth.
Absolutely! You can think of toothpaste as a medicine. The longer that your teeth are exposed to it, the longer the medicinal effects of the toothpaste have to work. Leaving the Sensodyne on your teeth if perfectly fine :)
