Sensodyne ProNamel Mint Essence Toothpaste, 4 oz. (Pack of 4)

There is one major difference that most people will overlook and that is there is no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in this product. There is research out there that this inactive ingredient will cause sloughing in the mouth which can lead to cancor sores or mouth ulcers. I stopped using any toothpaste with that ingredient and it has helped.

This toothpaste does have the same active ingredients though. Plus its not as abrasive as other toothpastes.

I love this toothpaste! It effectively desesitizes teeth and smoothes them over. However, buyers should be aware that you must stick with it for a number of weeks in order for it to work properly. If you try it for a few days and claim it doesn't work (like most negative reviewers probably do), then you're fooling yourself. With anything, you must give it a chance to do its job.

It is true that this toothpaste has a rather...unpleasant taste (at least to me). It's hardly minty. It's more medicine-like. But it's not unbearable.

It's a small container, so use it wisely. A little goes a long way. My tube lasted me around a month.

I can see why my dentist recommended this to me! It's great for sensitive gums and protecting teeth against wear overall.

I just got through a tube of this toothpaste, hence I am buying more.

Pros:
-Tastes Good
-Contains Fluoride (hardens teeth)
-Contains No Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (bad for gums)

Cons:
-Uninformative Labelling
-Contains Fluoride (blackens teeth)


The reason I gave it 4 stars is because it does not describe the means by which it hardens tooth enamel. If the only way it does this is via fluoride, I've heard of better ways. Fluoride does harden enamel, but it can also turn teeth black (I know from both research and experience). Pronamel may use other means to harden teeth, but it does not state which means it uses (aside from fluoride), so it's really a crapshoot.

This is still the best toothpaste I have come across, so I recommend buying it.
