This Sensodyne toothpaste that contains Novamin which is supposed to renew
the teeth's enamel coating...

What is the best way to find out if it is actually effective? I.e. some
kind of independent assessment of its effectiveness.

Personal experience. Previous visit to dentist I mentioned some
sensitivity to cold foods, dentist recomended using Sensodyne, I did.
The sensitivity has gone away (took a while, several weeks) with no
other change to the twice daily brushing. Of course it could just be
the change of toothpaste to one less abrasive or any other change
related to the toothpaste, different Ph?

Hopefully their website has a more convincing "science bit" than

Approximately 820°C difference for the sake of a bit of capitalisation
and an (R) tacked on the end.

Is it my imagination, or does the wiki page read more like a
semi-technical advertisement, than an independent description.
It seems to take great care not to make any claims for the product.

The best way is to try it: night and day on one side of your
mouth for 30 years, while using a different brand on the other side.
After that, could you report back, please?

kind of independent assessment of its effectiveness.
