Pronamel helps microharden softened tooth enamel

Brushing twice a day with Pronamel may help restrengthen the softened enamel layer, increasing its resistance to acid attack

Pronamel offers high available fluoride

Pronamel's high fluoride availability helps to microharden teeth and fight the effects of erosion¹⁰
Fluoride may harden the tooth surface to make it more resistant to acid attack¹¹

Pronamel has a neutral pH

Pronamel has a pH of 7.1 (7.4 when diluted 1:3 with saliva) which does not encourage enamel or dentin demineralization.
