Sensodyne Pronamel Daily Protection toothpaste

By Sensodyne

A toothpaste aimed at people concerned about acid wear from their diet. It won't undo damage, and cutting down on acidic drinks and waiting an hour before brushing still matter.

Can be useful for

A product can support daily care but can’t treat a dental problem on its own. See a dentist if symptoms persist.

Choosing toothpaste

  • Check the fluoride level (ppm) on the pack – at least 1,350ppm for adults.
  • For children: a smear for under-3s and a pea-sized amount for ages 3 to 6.
  • Sensitivity toothpastes need continued use to keep working.
  • After brushing, spit out but don't rinse.
  • See a dentist if sensitivity is severe, lasts weeks or affects one tooth.
