Odd that. It's fixed my sensitive teeth and, according to my dentist, the remineralisation is visible.
Peer review does show remineralisation. However not all sensodyne toothpaste will have novamin, so you got to be careful.
Recaldent (gc tooth mousse), novamin (sensodyne), and biomin (latest generation of bioglass) are all effective at remineralisation.
If you look at demineralised teeth under a microscope you'll see thousands of tiny holes in the enamel. Bioglasses enter these holes and literally patch them up, acting as an artificial form of enamel. Unless you have visibly demineralised enamel (e.g. white spot lesions), you will only see this effect at a microscopic level.
As your teeth naturally decay from bacteria, the artificial enamel will be progressively worn down just as your regular enamel would. So it's temporary in that sense.
@socialistshroom: You seen to know your toothpastes. Do you use a biomin toothpaste? If so do you recommend any brand? Thanks.
@Aureus: Yeah I kinda went down the rabbit hole a while back lol.
I used to use sensodyne repair & protect with novamin, but recently switched to Biomin F, which you can purchase on their website.
It's been great for me. I can whiten my teeth with prescription strength peroxides and experience no sensitivity. My partner's sensitivity has also disappeared since switching from sensodyne.
I would recommend Biomin F as it features the improved bioglass with extended release fluoride. I'd only recommend a fluoridated toothpaste for adults though as excess fluoride during development can lead to fluorosis.

I don’t know what it does but haven’t had any cavities in over five years since using it - and I’ve always had pretty bad teeth.
is this the good stuff or the new formula that doesnt really do anything?
If you want the old-school stuff, find the ones with stannous fluoride instead of the usual sodium fluoride. Rapid Relief and Sensitivity & Gum are the Sensodyne products that still have it.
I specifically buy only that stuff and that's the only one that kept gum problems and tooth sensitivity in check.
Thanks bought rapid relief based on your recommendation
Have you tried this one? I've tried Sensitivity & Gum but that one doesn't lather up anywhere close to this one (using the same amount of toothpaste), it's weird. This one helps a lot with sensitive teeth in my experience.
Probably an older tube that doesn't have sodium lauryl sulfate or a lower concentration of it, that's the stuff that makes shampoo and toothpaste foam, make orange juice taste nasty and can trigger mouth ulcers/canker sores.
Haven't tried Repair and Protect yet, but Novamin does work well enough for GSK to lock in the patent but still isn't a sole replacement for fluoride. The bioglass stuff essentially do a lot of similar things that stannous fluoride did like plugging the microscopic holes in dentin that cuts down sensitivity and an antimicrobial effect.
Now I'm curious how the bioglass stuff matches up when you mix it with something like a 5000ppm fluoride toothpaste like Colgate Neutrafluor.
@overbyte: what do you think of proenamel like this https://www.amazon.com.au/Pronamel-PRONAMEL-Toothpaste-110g/…
@WT: Looks like bog standard sodium fluoride toothpaste in different packaging. The "protecting against acid wear" thing is what fluoride already does. Sodium fluoride doesn't have the built-in antimicrobial effect but that's not a hard dealbreaker and can be replaced with another (like xylitol gum or a chlorhexidine mouthwash)
Potassium nitrate cuts sensitivity differently by numbing the actual nerves instead of filling microscopic potholes in teeth. Lots of these compounds from sodium fluoride + potassium nitrate to fancy toothpaste using nanohydroxyapatite are essentially different ways of getting the same end result.
This one lathers so much. More than any other toothpaste I've tried. Wasn't a fan.
Don't buy from amazon, there are fakes mixed in if you don't know how to spot them
Interesting, I've bought this in bulk from Amazon in a previous deal, any advice to know what the fakes look like?
Please share
Might be from 3rd party sellers but no way amazon will sell fake toothpaste. They have a reputation to protect and know better than that.
Is the Sensodyne Repair and Protect Whitening version just a more abrasive toothpaste?
I've wondered myself how the whitening version works because the ingredients are exactly the same between the whitening and non-whitening versions. I would've expected to see hydrogen peroxide or something in the whitening version.
Maybe marketing. But someone else got busted for marketing paracetamol for different types of aches and pains. So I’d be surprised if they can get away with similar.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking actually. Sad if true.
I have been using the whitening one for years, don’t think it whitened my teeth, but my dentist recommended this one to relieve the sensitivity of my teeth, therefore, I just keep using it and buy the one with withering function so that I get better value out of it.
Yeah, same lol.
is there any difference between this and the Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Multi Protection? that's what my dentist recommended and it seems to have helped with my sensitivity.
