Hydroxyapatite is a mineral that forms the hard outer layer of teeth. It also makes up about 70% of bone tissue.
A 2019 study found that a toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite was as effective as fluoride at remineralizing tooth enamel surfaces.
Sugars and acids wear away at tooth enamel and cause cavities. But remineralizing toothpastes can help repair damage and prevent cavities by re-introducing calcium to the enamel.
1. Stronger Teeth
Hydroxyapatite is the main mineral component of your teeth and bones. It makes up more than 90% of the hard outer layer known as enamel, which protects the inner layers of your teeth against decay and bacteria. Maintaining healthy enamel is vital to your oral and overall health. When left untreated, tooth decay can lead to serious infections, gum disease, and tooth loss. Hydroxyapatite helps to remineralize teeth and reduce sensitivity by sealing the tiny cracks in the enamel that can lead to cavities.
Our hydroxyapatite powder for teeth is naturally absorbent, soaking up plaque and other debris before it can stick to your teeth. The powder also contains aloe vera concentrate to soothe your mouth and fight bacteria that cause cavities, bad breath, gum disease and more. It is as effective as fluoride at remineralizing teeth and is completely safe.
For Toothpaste: Hydroxyapatite, which is a naturally occurring substance, can securely refill your enamel to restructure and fortify the smile.
The remineralization process is possible thanks to the natural calcium in our hydroxyapatite powder. This natural calcium builds stronger teeth, reducing the risk of cavities and other oral infections. Our hydroxyapatite is ethically harvested from Australia and blended with organic ingredients to create a gentle yet powerful natural alternative to toothpaste.
You can use our remineralizing powder just like a regular toothpaste, though we recommend starting with a small amount to ensure you are accustomed to the texture and taste. Make sure to gently brush and pay special attention to the gum line and between teeth. We recommend not rinsing for as long as possible, allowing the hydroxyapatite to soak in and close any holes in your enamel before brushing again.
Hydroxyapatite does not promote enamel regrowth, it simply fortifies existing enamel. For maximum benefits, try not to eat foods with high sugar content that can erode enamel or drink acidic juices that can wear down teeth. Instead, focus on a balanced diet of whole foods rich in minerals that can help keep your teeth strong and healthy.
2. Stronger Gums
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the main component of your teeth’s enamel, and it’s also one of the most well-studied biomaterials in the medical/dental field. It comprises 97 percent of the enamel’s foundation and 70 percent of your teeth’s dentin. This mineral can remineralize the tooth, filling in gaps and weak spots and helping prevent sensitivity or cavities.
It’s also antimicrobial, which means that it’s a powerful anti-bacterial. This is important because bacteria can cause gum disease, leading to tooth decay and loss. Hydroxyapatite is also non-toxic and doesn’t build up in your system like fluoride does.
While fluoride is still an ingredient in many toothpastes, more and more oral care brands are switching to hydroxyapatite powder for their formulas. Studies have proven this powder to remineralize the teeth, improve gum health, and reduce sensitivity. It’s also nontoxic and safe for kids to use.
Our remineralizing tooth powder is made with nano-hydroxyapatite and other natural ingredients to give your teeth the best possible care. It is free of fluoride, glycerin, and artificial sweeteners. We also use erythritol and xylitol to help fight cavity-causing bacteria, zinc citrate to prevent bad breath, and microcrystalline HAp to strengthen the enamel. This powder is easy to use – simply sprinkle on the toothbrush and brush away!
We’ve also created a fluoride-free remineralizing toothpaste with the same hydroxyapatite. This toothpaste is available as a paste or a tablet that you can bite down on and crumble into a paste. This version contains a higher concentration of hydroxyapatite, so it’s more effective at remineralizing the teeth. It’s also less prone to irritation, so it’s a great choice for sensitive teeth or those who want a more natural option.
You can also find hydroxyapatite in other oral products, like mouthwashes and remineralizing gels. Some of these are marketed as whitening agents, while others claim to help with dental hypersensitivity. However, it’s important to read the label and choose a product that is clinically proven to work and contains an appropriate amount of hydroxyapatite.
3. Better Oral Hygiene
A healthy diet, proper oral hygiene habits and regular visits to the dentist are all important to maintaining strong teeth. But one of the best things you can do to help prevent cavities is use a toothpaste that contains hydroxyapatite. Studies show hydroxyapatite helps protect teeth and remineralize them, just like fluoride, but without the negative side effects.
Hydroxyapatite is a mineral that makes up about 97 percent of tooth enamel and 70 percent of dentin. It’s also used in dental implants to help them heal and stay in place. When added to toothpaste, nano-hydroxyapatite fills in the gaps and cracks in the enamel that can lead to tooth decay. It has also effectively reduced acidity levels in the mouth, another major contributor to tooth decay.
The remineralization process occurs when your saliva creates a barrier on the surface of your teeth that prevents bacteria and sugar from entering and damaging your enamel. However, tooth decay and other dental problems can occur when this protective layer breaks down. Nano hydroxyapatite powder helps remineralization by providing essential minerals such as calcium and phosphate to your enamel.
Toothpaste containing hydroxyapatite can also repair the tiny cracks in your enamel, called fissures, that can develop from eating or drinking acidic foods and drinks. These fissures can widen and allow bacteria to work into the dentin, causing cavities. Using a toothpaste with hydroxyapatite can repair these minor cracks and fissures and strengthen your enamel, reducing the risk of cavities.
vVardis’ tooth powder combines hydroxyapatite, xylitol and zinc citrate to form a protective layer against plaque. It’s a great natural alternative to fluoride-containing toothpaste and comes in eco-friendly packaging.
Aside from protecting your teeth, hydroxyapatite tooth powder has also been shown to relieve tooth sensitivity. It contains calcium, phosphate and other natural ingredients to strengthen your enamel while calming irritated gums with a touch of mint. It’s a powerful product that works better than nerve-numbing potassium nitrate to relieve sensitive teeth and protect your enamel against decay and damage.
4. Better Overall Health
Hydroxyapatite is a mineral that is naturally occurring in the body. It’s also the main component of bones and teeth, and it helps reverse tooth decay. It’s also used as a filling material in dentistry. Its strength and remineralization benefits make it an excellent alternative to fluoride.
Our hydroxyapatite powder uses a proprietary process that produces the finest possible crystalline particle size for maximum remineralization potential. This creates a smoother surface for the tooth, which makes it less vulnerable to acidic foods and drinks that can erode enamel. It’s also more easily absorbed into the bloodstream and bone cells.
When applied to the teeth, hydroxyapatite can help fill in the microscopic cracks and fissures that develop during demineralization. This helps prevent bacteria from making their way down to the root of the tooth, which can lead to infection and cavities. It also remineralizes the enamel, reducing sensitivity and strengthening it.
A 2019 study found hydroxyapatite can provide better protection against sensitive teeth than conventional toothpastes containing desensitizing agents. Hydroxyapatite can remineralize the dentin tubules in your teeth, closing the small openings that allow cold, hot or other sensitizers to reach the inside of the tooth and cause pain.
As a bonus, hydroxyapatite is biocompatible and non-toxic. It is also osteoconductive, which can promote the growth of new bone tissue in the mouth. It’s also not as inflammatory as other ingredients in some toothpastes, such as fluoride.
This is one reason we chose to replace fluoride in our Happy Tooth Powder. The microcrystaline calcium hydroxyapatite in our toothpaste has the same structure as the natural hydroxyapatite found in teeth and bones. Our hydroxyapatite is also the most bioavailable form of calcium, providing your body with essential nutrients that are important for your overall health. In addition, it remineralizes the teeth, helps balance the mouth’s pH, and protects against plaque buildup. It also helps to fight the bacteria that can cause gum disease and bad breath. Our tooth powder is also sweetener-free and contains no artificial flavors or colors.
