What is arginine in sensitive toothpaste used for?
Arginine is an ingredient in our sensitive toothpaste that forms a protective layer over exposed dentine, which helps to ease sensitivity. The protective layer works by blocking external stimuli like hot, cold or sweet food and drinks from reaching dentine tubules to help you avoid discomfort.
How often should I use Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™ Toothpaste?
We recommend you use our toothpaste for sensitive teeth twice a day and, for prolonged sensitivity relief, you should follow your dentist’s advice.
What should I avoid while using Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™ Toothpaste?
When you use our sensitive toothpaste, it’s a good idea to try to avoid things that can affect how the toothpaste works and can increase sensitivity. These include acidic foods and drinks like orange and lemon juices as well as preserved foods. Also, you should use a soft bristle toothbrush and avoid ones with hard bristles as they can wear away your tooth enamel.
Don’t forget to consult your dentist for a personalised plan about brushing and caring for your teeth.
