There's also nano-hydroxyapatite (n-Ha), a bioactive form of calcium apatite that has been found to stick to dentine and help remineralize your teeth [1] [2].

There's also nano-hydroxyapatite (n-Ha), a bioactive form of calcium apatite that has been found to stick to dentine and help remineralize your teeth [1] [2].
It's popular in Japan, where it's even added to things like sports drinks. It's not easy to get in the West yet. The only toothpaste I know with n-Ha is Boka [3], and there's a more expensive Japanese one on Amazon called Apagard Premio [4].

- resoluteteeth 7y agoYou can get Dr. Collins BioMin Toothpaste in the US now and it's basically the same thing.

- gamblor956 7y agoThe Apagard Premio stuff works. After my dentist saw my results he started importing it to sell out of his own practice.
