I'd like to apologize in advance for making a joke that may or may not be funny.

Whitening toothpastes contain abrasives (generally silica but could be things like baking soda or charcoal) that are three times more abrasive on average than conventional pastes. They polish away stains by removing some of the tooth. One of the consequences of thinner enamel is more exposed tubules and more dentinal hypersensitivity. For that reason, a whitening sensitivity toothpaste seems antithetical to the goal of a sensitivity toothpaste. It does say "gentle whitening", but it still has to be more abrasive than average to get an above average whitening result.
