The composition can be used as a solution or as a gel. In the first case two distinct liquid solutions for use successively on the exposed dentin are provided for. In the second case two distinct gel compounds spread successively on the exposed dentin are provided for. The first solution or the first gel compound comprises preferably three soluble potassium salts, whereas the second solution or the second gel compound comprises a calcium salt and a soluble strontium salt. In a preferred composition two solutions are provided for of which the first has solutes comprising potassium phosphate, potassium carbonate and potassium fluoride, and the second solution has solutes comprising calcium chloride and strontium chloride. For the gel composition, which may be used as toothpaste, two distinct gel compounds are provided, the first having solutes comprising potassium phosphate, potassium carbonate and potassium fluoride and the second gel compound having solutes comprising calcium chloride and strontium chloride.
