Another tooth restorative product that is hard to find in the USA is CPP-ACP (Recaldent). Apparently there are some regulatory issues with this product as well. It's available in the USA as MI Paste, and in other countries as Recaldent gum. I was interested in this for a while as it seems promising and you can feel the anti-plaque slickness effect, but on the other hand, the research tends to be in lesser-known journals, which is suspicious to me.
- nxc18 6y agoRecaldent gum used to be widely available in the US. I was a big fan of the trident gum variety, which had recaldent and was sweetened with xylitol. It was a solid product but it just disappeared one day. And unfortunately the shelf life for that gum was a bit worse than usual, so hoarding isn’t a great strategy. I think last time I was able to get it was around 2010. Edit: something is going wrong in American regulation of dental products. I should not have to illegally buy smuggled toothpaste and gum from Europe and Canada in order to maintain my dental health. I don’t understand how that makes anyone safer and regulators haven’t said why Americans are at risk in a way that Europeans aren’t.
