Naturals for Sensitive Teeth

Rembrandt Oral Care Products introduces Rembrandt Vanilla Mint and Chamomile Naturals for Sensitive Teeth. Rembrandt Naturals for Sensitive Teeth contains a comforting vanilla mint and chamomile formula to help relieve pain that is caused by sensitivity and it defends against recurring pain.

One in four Americans suffer from sensitivity to cold, heat, acids, sweet or sour foods. In most cases, sensitivity is caused by open tubules often associated with even the slightest gumline erosion.

Rembrandt Naturals Toothpastes are available in three other botanical ingredient combinations and fresh, clean flavors. The Invigorating formula contains stimulating raspberry leaf and refreshing mint with antioxidant ginkgo. The "Freshening" formula contains stain-dissolving papaya and revitalizing ginseng with antiseptic lemon balm. The "Soothing" formula contains aloe vera, echinacea, believed to boost resistance, and goldenseal, believed to support the immune system.

The Naturals toothpastes are available in a 4.5 oz. tube and can be found at food, drug, and discount stores nationwide. Consumers also may order from www.rembrandt.com.
