Pronamel Toothpaste Ingredients

There are many toothpastes available that promise to care for your whole mouth, whiten your teeth, wax your car, and do your taxes. Maybe not those last two, but it can be hard to know what you’re looking at when you check out the toothpaste ingredients on the packaging. There’s no plain language, only scientific names that look hard to pronounce.

Read on to learn about the active and inactive ingredients in Pronamel toothpastes, what they’re for and how they work.

Key Takeaways

• Pronamel toothpastes may include one or both of these active ingredients: potassium nitrate and sodium fluoride.
• Inactive ingredients may include humectants—which minimize water loss—thickening agents, foaming surfactants and abrasive agents.
• Each formulation is different and no two are the same. Pronamel Kids toothpastes have fewer ingredients and none that address sensitivity because children under 12 do not often have dentin hypersensitivity.

Understanding Toothpaste Ingredients

It’s important to understand that not all Pronamel toothpaste formulations are identical. They don’t all contain the same ingredients in the same amounts, which is what helps to set them apart. Each one is carefully formulated with a precise blend of active and inactive ingredients that are designed to promote overall oral health. Each component plays a role in helping to maintain a healthy smile.
