Indications
Prevident Sensitive Mild Mint is a toothpaste designed to provide relief for those with sensitive teeth and gums, while also protecting teeth against cavities.
The active ingredient in both flavors is 1.1% sodium fluoride, which is used to prevent dental caries (cavities) and help strengthen tooth enamel. The toothpaste gel has a mild cleaning system with low abrasion and uses a unique liquid gel formula that enables faster fluoride dispersion compared to paste-form toothpaste.
