Product Summary
I frequently see younger patients complaining of sensitive teeth, and there’s usually a clear pattern to the cause.
Most commonly, it stems from dietary habits, consuming too many fizzy drinks or trendy beverages like lemon water. Occasionally, the sensitivity results from acid reflux or, in more serious cases, eating disorders like bulimia nervosa.
All these conditions share a common outcome: thinned enamel due to acid erosion. Enamel is precious and irreplaceable; once it’s lost, protecting what remains becomes crucial. This is precisely why I recommend Pronamel for these patients.
What makes Pronamel particularly effective is its very low RDA (Relative Dentine Abrasivity). Think of high RDA as being coarse and gritty—like sandpaper on your teeth—whilst low RDA is gentler and smoother, preserving rather than wearing away remaining enamel (5).
The formula also contains potassium nitrate, which helps soothe, calm, and essentially numb the nerve endings causing the sensitivity.
The result is twofold: we stop the progression of the problem whilst providing immediate relief. However, I always emphasise that the underlying issues also need addressing—whether that’s modifying diet, treating reflux, or seeking appropriate care for eating disorders.
Toothpaste alone can’t solve these fundamental problems, but Pronamel provides excellent protection whilst these deeper issues are being addressed.
