Dentine hypersensitivity can be extremely uncomfortable and may have a significant impact on quality of life for your patients. A new unique study using an Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-49) to measure dentine hypersensitivity scores demonstrated Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief provides clinically significant improvements in Quality of Life, compared to a negative control at 4, 8 and 24 weeks (p = 0.005).1 This pioneering study with 273 patients is the first double-blind clinical trial to show that a toothpaste technology can make a real difference to the lives of patients suffering from dentine hypersensitivity.1
Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief contains unique Pro-Argin technology. Pro-Argin enhances the natural mechanisms of tubule occlusion to deposit a dentine-like material, containing calcium and phosphate, within the tubules. Resistant to acid attack, Pro-Argin forms a protective layer on the dentine surface2 providing both instant [when toothpaste is applied directly to each affected tooth for one minute]3,4 and long lasting relief from the pain of sensitive teeth.4,5
By simply changing toothpaste to Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief your patients can experience consistent long-lasting pain relief4,5 whilst maintaining recommended cavity protection.6
Recommend Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief with confidence and make a real difference to your patients suffering from dentine hypersensitivity.
