Main

According to the Children's Dental Health Survey 2013 'up to 57% of 5-year-olds and up to 38% of 12-year-olds have signs of tooth surface loss on the incisors.' Now that your young patients are going back to school, their lunchboxes may include acidic fruits, fruit juices and fizzy drinks which can lead to enamel softening and tooth wear. The enamel of their adult teeth has to last the rest of their life. And once enamel is gone it's gone for good.

Pronamel for Children toothpaste has been developed with dental experts to help provide daily protection from the effects of erosive tooth wear and decay.

• Optimised fluoride formulation with 1450 ppm fluoride to help re-harden acid-softened enamel

• Low abrasivity to be gentle on softened enamel

• Neutral pH and SLS free.
