Dentist Recommended Toothpaste Guide
Dentist Recommended Toothpaste Guide
Tooth decay, affecting 90% of adults aged 20 to 64 years, and gum disease, affecting almost 50% of adults aged 45 to 64 years, remain two of the most prevalent oral diseases.1 9 out of 10 adults are at risk of enamel loss due to dietary acids.7 As many as 1 in 2 people may experience dentin hypersensitivity, and more than half of them may not even mention it to you.2
Learn about the toothpastes available from Haleon HealthPartner and how they can address conditions like dentin hypersensitivity, tooth decay, and gum disease for your patients, all while cleaning and protecting from caries. Help your patients toward healthier mouths with this dentist recommended toothpaste guide to our range of specialist oral healthcare products.
Sensodyne for Dentin Hypersensitivity
Sensodyne is the #1 dentist recommended brand for sensitive teeth. Just because your patients have sensitive teeth doesn’t mean they can’t have whiter teeth. Introduce them to Sensodyne Clinical White toothpaste, which contains clinically proven ingredients for sensitivity relief with twice daily brushing.
Teeth with exposed dentin are more susceptible to abrasion, for example, from overly vigorous brushing or higher abrasivity toothpastes, but Sensodyne Clinical White’s fine particles of alumina are gentle on enamel. The ingredients STP, alumina, and silica remove and help prevent future stains while making teeth two shades whiter*, and the active ingredient potassium nitrate relieves dentin hypersensitivity and helps to protect teeth from sensitivity.3^
Potassium nitrate is an effective desensitizing ingredient in a whitening toothpaste like Sensodyne Clinical White because it helps to desensitize the nerves within the teeth. Other Sensodyne formulations—like Sensodyne Sensitivity and Gum—contain stannous fluoride, which helps to manage sensitivity by blocking exposed dentinal tubules and coating the surface of the dentin.6

Pronamel to Strengthen Enamel
Pronamel is the #1 dentist-recommended toothpaste for protecting and strengthening erosion. Pronamel toothpastes can be used daily by all patients help to protect against cavities and prevent issues that may arise due to enamel loss like sensitivity and yellowing. Everyday foods that contain acids can soften the enamel surface of your patients’ teeth. Twice daily brushing with Pronamel helps to re-harden acid-softened enamel, making it more resistant to future acid challenges. Pronamel’s optimized technology is highly effective at delivering fluoride to the enamel surface.
If your adult patients are experiencing enamel erosion, recommend a specialist Pronamel toothpaste like:
- Pronamel Clinical Enamel Strength toothpastes promote fluoride rich mineralization to help protect against enamel demineralization. Repairs 66% of microdamage on acid-weakened enamel.*
- Adults and children age 6 and older can complement their twice-daily toothbrushing routine by rinsing with Pronamel Intensive Enamel Repair Clean Mint Mouthwash, which actively repairs acid-weakened enamel beyond brushing alone^. This alcohol free mouthwash gets in hard to reach areas, protects against cavities and refreshes the whole mouth.
Help your younger patients keep their permanent teeth healthy by recommending Pronamel Kids toothpastes. Children have enamel that’s softer and 50% thinner than the enamel of permanent teeth.4 What’s more, new permanent teeth take up to 3 years to fully strengthen.
These toothpastes are gentle on little mouths. They help re-strengthen acid-softened tooth enamel surfaces following an acid challenge to help provide cavity protection.
Whether your patients are seven, seventeen or seventy, recommend Pronamel toothpastes to help care for their enamel.

parodontax for Gum Health
Gingivitis, an early form of gum disease, is caused by plaque build-up around the gum line. If left untreated, this may lead to red and swollen gums and ultimately tooth loss. If your patients are experiencing traces of blood when brushing or flossing, let them know that healthy gums don’t bleed, and that this is likely a sign of gum disease. parodontax offers a range of products designed to help your patients care for their teeth and their gums.
parodontax Active Gum Repair Breath Freshener toothpaste is a simple addition to your patients’ brushing routine and can help reduce the number of bleeding sites by 33% in 2 weeks with twice daily brushing.*
Patients with gum disease may experience bad breath.5 Brushing with parodontax Active Gum Repair Breath Freshener toothpaste is clinically proven to show over 50% improvement in morning breath vs. no improvement with a regular toothpaste.** Motivate your patients to look after their teeth and gums by addressing this key concern: bad breath.^

Why Use a Dentist Recommended Toothpaste?
The relationship between oral health and overall health becomes more apparent in adulthood, and may manifest in ways that can impact the overall quality of a patient’s life.1 Advances in dental technology have enabled the development of effective materials and techniques, as well as improvements in preventative care and dental treatments.1 Despite these advancements, oral health in adults has not improved; untreated caries, individual tooth loss and periodontal disease are still common.1
Using a dentist recommended toothpaste can help address patient-specific dental issues, leading to better overall health and a higher quality of life.1
