Elmex Sensitive Professional Whitening - Toothpaste
Therapeutic elmex® Sensitive Professional Gentle Whitening toothpaste for sensitive teeth provides immediate* relief from sensitivity. The unique Pro-Argin formula with technology used by dentists to reduce dentin hypersensitivity in patients. Additionally, the low-abrasion formula gently and effectively removes discoloration and helps restore the natural whiteness of teeth.
What are the causes of hypersensitivity?
Recessing gums and damage to the enamel expose thousands of microscopic channels containing nerve endings. Any stimuli caused by the nerve endings in the dentinal tubules directly reach the nerves, causing pain.
PRO-ARGIN technology allows elmex® Sensitive Professional Gentle Whitening toothpaste to provide clinically proven relief from pain caused by dentin hypersensitivity by sealing and closing open dentinal tubules. In clinical studies, PRO-ARGIN technology provided immediate pain relief from hypersensitivity by up to 60%** compared to before using the product! Significant long-term pain relief from hypersensitivity was up to 80%*** after just 8 weeks of use compared to before using the product!
*Immediate relief when applied directly to the hypersensitive area with a fingertip and massaged in for 1 minute.
