Pronamel
Product Use and Benefits
  • High fluoride availability- remineralization and resistance to demineralization1
  • Low abrasivity2
  • Neutral pH3
  • Sensitivity protection- 5% potassium nitrate4-9
  • Cocamidopropyl Betaine — mild detergent
  • Caries protection and fresh breath.





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.
