Yes perfectly fine to use Sensodyne for children.
Yes
Not recommended for use by children under the age of 12.

As long as the child is able to gather up whatever is in the mouth and can spit it out
The short answer is yes. But are you looking for the benefit of desensitizing a situation, like teething? If so, it will not help for this situation
Generally, they do not market Sensodyne to children. That being said, it is safe to use for kids. Some children may object to the flavor of Sensodyne, but that is the only concern with using it.

Quick answer: a toothpaste is only as good as it is used, and for children, sensodyne is fine (especially if they can expectorate).
Yes it is ok but they may prefer crest for kids or a similar kids toothpaste. Thanks. Dr. Price
I would not recommend it. Sensitive teeth in adults is different from that of a child. He or she should see a dentist to determine the source of the discomfort.
