elmex® SENSITIVE PROFESSIONAL Toothpaste

elmex® SENSITIVE PROFESSIONAL Toothpaste  provides instant* and long lasting relief from the pain of sensitive teeth.

  • Benefits

    elmex® SENSITIVE PROFESSIONAL toothpaste is clinically proven to work in just seconds3 building a layer that prevents pain from coming back. The formula instantly* relieves dentine hypersensitivity when applied to an affected tooth for one minute1. It locks in calcium and phosphate, occluding exposed dentine tubules and preventing external stimuli from reaching dentin tubule fluid and causing pain4.

     

    • Instantly* relieves dentine hypersensitivity1
    • Significant relief from dentine hypersensitivity after 8 weeks’ twice daily use compared with regular fluoride toothpaste2
    • Superior dentine tubule occlusion# 4, 5
    • Acid resistant layer3
    • Recommended fluoride level for caries protection (1450ppm)

     

    * For instant relief apply to the sensitive tooth with a figure tip and gently massage for one minute.

    #Vs novamin/sodium fluoride technology and stannous fluoride/sodium fluoride technology (p<0.05)



  • Usage

    For instant relief, apply directly to each sensitive tooth surface and massage for one minute, up to twice a day. For children 6-12 years of age, once a week or less frequently.

    For lasting relief, apply twice daily using a sensitive toothbrush, making sure to brush all surfaces of teeth including sensitive areas. Children 6 years and younger: use a pea-sized amount for supervised tooth brushing to minimise swallowing.

    For best performance, keep cap closed when not in use.
