The mounting data on the ill effects of fluoride use have led some to avoid it, but these people may not be aware of a promising new alternative that does what even fluoride can’t.

Multiple studies have demonstrated nano preparations of hydroxyapatite can regenerate decayed tooth enamel and help repair dentin within teeth. And it makes sense since hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral making up your tooth enamel, dentin, and cementum.

Why Nanohydroxyapatite?

Dental erosion is caused by the chemical destruction of the hard tissue that constitutes teeth. A prevalent source of dental erosion is consumption of sugary, acidic beverages such as soft drinks or fruit juice.
