There are better toothpastes out there that use more than fluoride. Sensodyne with Novamin is one (but you need to import it), along with many that have hydroxyapatite. The latter often don’t have fluoride but there are some with both.
- BehindBlueEyes 2y agoI was surprised a few month ago that one of the toothpastes I tried has sorbitol in it and wondered if that is contributing to my cavities. Googling this seems as hard as finding good dietary info that's not diet propaganda. This dentist says sorbitol may enable tooth decaying bacteria and only xylitol is ok https://michaelsinkindds.com/sugar-substitutes-can-cause-tooth-decay/ https://michaelsinkindds.com/sugar-substitutes-can-cause-too... but other sources say sorbitol is fine. The one thing all seem to agree on is that sorbitol is better than sugar but why is it so hard to find a toothpaste that has no sweetener in it... and that doesn't taste of mint, which is the only alternative. I'm told I have good genes / strong teeth and I brush after every meal but somehow every year my cavities add up to my entire dental insurance budget plus a crown I never get around to fund, regardless which dentist I go to. So yes, bring on the tooth regrowing drug! I'll give that a try.
- xarope 2y ago+1 for novamin, it really does make your teeth feel smooth and glassy-like.
