How does the Pro-Argin technology work?

The effectiveness of elmex® SENSITIVE PROFESSIONAL toothpaste is built on its Pro-Argin technology with Arginine and Calcium from Calcium carbonate. It effectively occludes open dentine tubuli instantly1 and builds a strong calcium-rich layer that provides long-lasting relief from sensitivity.2 The addition of Zinc Phosphate accelerates the build-up of the layer and makes it stronger.3,4
