Can hydroxyapatite toothpaste reduce your risk of tooth decay and strengthen your teeth?
Recent studies have stated that 'Hydroxyapatite toothpaste is as good if not better than fluoride at protecting your teeth and none of the potential nasty side effects or toxicity'.
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a type of calcium that makes up 97% of your tooth enamel and 70% of the dentin (the inner part) in teeth.
Hydroxyapatite helps strengthen tooth enamel and protect teeth from decay.
Hydroxyapatite toothpaste is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to fluoride-based toothpaste.
Toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite can create a barrier on your tooth surfaces. This barrier protects teeth against the sugars and acids that wear away at your teeth.
