As a dentist I would say thermoseal is a good paste as a desensitizer. in fact it is available over the counter also in grocery shops. initially when the sensitivity is more u could use THERMOSEAL RA i.e. rapid acting, later switch on to the ordinary one. but do not substitute for your children or others who are not indicated this unnecessarily and make it a family paste. generally a good paste for removing tartar and calculus is needed like COlgate total , pepsodent G etc preferably approved by IDA AND use this when dictated by the dentist. this has helped so many patients. again sensitivity need not be only in older patients above 40, could also be in younger patients with acidity and regurgitation or reflux problems more prominent in patients who take lot of painkillers, also, who consume lot of acidic and spicy foods which erode their teeth earlier, still people who brush their teeth so hard that the enamel wears off. and in anxiety persons where the wear rate is more. also in the market are available many more brands which are equally good. it would be always advisable to take under the guidance of a doctor/dentist.
