Revolutionize Your Oral Hygiene with Nano-Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste: The Natural Cavity Fighter!
What is Nano-Hydroxyapatite? Why should it be a part of your toothpaste?
There is toothpaste for our every single need. From whitening to tartar control to dealing with sensitivity, we have a variety of toothpaste in the market. And, it’s no secret that fluoride is a big part of most available options.
Despite its safety concerns, dentists have recommended toothpaste with fluoride for stronger teeth and we continued using the same. On the other hand, Parents of young children are advised to use non-fluoridated toothpaste until the child develops the ability to split the excess paste. The reason being excess ingestion of fluoride in toothpaste is toxic and can lead to low thyroid function, learning and behavioral difficulties, and bone fragility in children.
What if we, at The Brush bud, tell you that there are effective alternatives that are clinically proven, research-backed, and much safer than fluoride formulations?
We’re talking about NHAP. Though the name is daunting to pronounce, it’s actually a very simple material. Like fluoride, nano-hydroxyapatite is a type of mineral. To be precise, it’s a form of calcium. The majority of your enamel is comprised of nano-hydroxyapatite. It’s also naturally found in the dentin — the softer layer underneath the enamel.
Is Nano-Hydroxyapatite safe? It’s a naturally occurring organic material within our bodies means it is biocompatible and safer than most other dental products on the market. Since it’s non-toxic and biocompatible it can be digested if a child swallows some, making it safe over other dental products such as fluoride which is toxic for adults and children.
According to one study, fluoride and hydroxyapatite were equally effective at remineralizing. However, nano-hydroxyapatite offers benefits that fluoride lacks. For example, it doesn’t indiscriminately kill both good and bad bacteria. Binding to bacteria, it prevents harmful bacteria from adhering to the enamel. Besides hardening enamel, nano-hydroxyapatite can also gently whiten teeth. Plus, it’s completely non-toxic. Here is another study that states NHAP toothpaste prevents demineralization and remineralizes the early signs of cavities as effectively as fluoride toothpaste.
But, the biggest advantage of using toothpaste with nano-hydroxyapatite is that it remineralizes your teeth without any side effects, unlike fluoride which is toxic in large quantities.
So if both, fluoride and nano-hydroxyapatite are scientifically proven to reverse dental decay — why not choose the less toxic one? Suppose you are looking for an alternative to fluoride toothpaste that actually works. In that case, we recommend you to try The Brush Bud’s toothpaste which is formulated with nano-hydroxyapatite, and reap all the benefits for yourself.
Why compromise when you can choose an affordable and non-toxic option?
