"Groundbreaking Study Unveils Promising Fluoride-Free Toothpaste Option"

A new study suggests that hydroxyapatite, a calcium phosphate mineral found naturally in teeth and bones, could be a viable alternative to fluoride in toothpaste. In a randomized trial, participants who used hydroxyapatite toothpaste showed no significant difference in new cavities compared to those who used fluoride toothpaste. Hydroxyapatite limits demineralization and boosts the natural repair process of teeth, making it a safe and effective option for daily use. While further research is needed, hydroxyapatite shows promise in preventing dental caries in both adults and children.
