How It Works?
Potassium nitrate is utilized for desensitizing toothpaste, cosmetics, and products for the oral cavity to reduce sensitivity reactions of the teeth. It may increase the resistance of sensitive teeth to such irritants as cold, heat, sweets, or food that has high acid content and may make teeth less sensitive in time.
The major action of sodium fluoride is to help to cement the mineral content of tooth enamel. It makes the enamel acid resistant and assists in the suppression of dental caries. All these ingredients contribute to sensitivity management and preventive oral care.
