The discomfort of dentine hypersensitivity, caused by exposed dentine tubules responding to triggers such as cold, heat or air affects patients’ quality of life. Everyday pleasures like eating and drinking have turned into potential sources of pain.
Colgate® SENSITIVE PRO-ReliefTM toothpaste provides significant instant* and long-lasting relief from the pain of sensitivity. It instantly* blocks the pathway to pain with 60.5% reduction from the first use1 and ensures long-lasting pain relief with 80.5% reduction after 8 weeks2.
The key to the success of Colgate® SENSITIVE PRO-ReliefTM toothpaste is the unique PRO-ARGIN® technology. It works by creating an arginine + calcium layer that binds like a magnet to the dentine surface and occludes the open dentine tubules. The layer remains functional even when exposed to acids.3
Ten years of clinical research confirm the efficacy of Colgate® SENSITIVE PRO-ReliefTM toothpaste. Now two new in vitro trials provide dental professionals with additional evidence of the superior dentine tubule occlusion achieved by PRO-ARGIN® technology when compared with competitive technologies:
- Number 1: Proves that Colgate® SENSITIVE PRO-ReliefTM toothpaste provides greater occlusion than novamin/sodium fluoride technology (91% vs. 67%)4
- Number 2: Proves that Colgate® SENSITIVE PRO-ReliefTM toothpaste provides greater occlusion than stannous fluoride technology (88% vs. 50%)5
Why is this important for dental professionals?
About 90% of dentists see patients with dentine hypersensitivity every day but around 70% of patients feel their dentists do not take their sensitivity problem seriously enough6. Some of them may avoid dental visits because of the discomfort they experience as a result of sensitivity during dental procedures.
With Colgate® SENSITIVE PRO-ReliefTM toothpaste, dental professionals can help patients regain power over their own lives. It is immediately* effective and provides relief for long enough to regain their quality of life. Eating and drinking revert to being the pleasures they once were and dental visits are more likely to be attended regularly. In a patient experience program with over 500 participants, 89% of witness a reduction of sensitivity pain after having used the product for two weeks and 94% confirm they were happy with their dentist’s recommendation7.
