HEComment TEETH and I’ll send you a discount on my favorite hydroxyapatite toothpaste that actually works to remineralize your teeth! #ad
This fluoride-free toothpaste strengthens enamel and prevents cavities as effectively as fluoride - but without the potential risks. Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral that does the same job as fluoride: repairing and protecting teeth naturally.
If fluoride is the “cure-all,” then why are cavity rates in the U.S. still on the rise? I fully acknowlege that research is mixed, but I wouldn’t share this if I hadn’t had a first hand experience. I grew up getting 1-2 cavities a year and using fluoride toothpaste morning a night. So I don’t beleive fluoride toothpaste is a cure-all. I believe in my lived experiences.
However, a few years ago after doing my own research and testing, I successfully remineralized a small cavity by using hydroxyapatite toothpaste and coconut oil pulling (2 minutes every morning and night).
Studies suggest fluoride has potential links to neurotoxicity, thyroid issues, and risks to pregnant women and kids. The problem isn’t just the fluoride in our toothpaste - it’s the combination of fluoride from toothpaste, fluoride in our water supply, and exposure through processed foods and beverages made with fluoridated water. This cumulative exposure adds up!
Our household doesn’t use fluoride toothpaste. Instead, we use @getsuperteeth which contains hydroxyapatite - the mineral that makes up 97% of your enamel and 70% of your dentin. It works by repairing micro-damage, strengthening enamel, and preventing cavities. Bonus: it’s non-toxic, safe if swallowed, and free of the foaming, burning, or tingling sensations that don’t actually help clean your teeth.
If you’re still getting cavities despite using fluoride, it might be time to try something different.
Pro Tip: Chewing xylitol gum after meals can help prevent food from sticking to your molars and reduce cavity risk!
