Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste – 6 Month Update

A dental hygienist tried hydroxyapatite toothpaste for 6 months, and this is what she found:

The results are in

In few words: she took before-and-after photos, or rather, regular photos through the 6-month process.

What she was mostly looking for: tooth translucency, enamel imperfections, and stains.

What she found: a slight improvement within two months, though over the course of the six months, the photos were somewhat inconsistent—however, this may have more to do with the machinations of her camera, the ambient lighting, etc, than it has to do with the toothpaste. In an ideal world, she’d be able to do a density test with a laser on one side and a sensor on the other, but it seems her budget didn’t stretch to that. In terms of subjective improvement, she found that her teeth felt better, even if the visual change was not consistently apparent.

This is consistent with the idea that hydroxyapatite toothpaste can mineralize teeth throughout the tooth, not just from the outside in, due to the porous nature of the enamel. So, a lot of the change may have been on the inside.

Ultimately, she neither recommends nor discommends the toothpaste, and acknowledges that more time, up to a year, may be needed for more noticeable results.
