6:03 phySIO-logical, not PSYCH-ological lol. So it doesn’t mean it's placebo. And in the next sentence it says: "HA increases the brightness and WHITEness of the tooth surface BY remineralization which adds to the smoother and glossier appearance."
It's even better to alternate between using fluoride and hydroxyapatite. The hydroxyapatite remineralizes your teeth, and then the fluoride converts the hydroxyapatite into fluorapatite which is more resistant to the acid produced by cavity forming bacteria. They synergize perfectly, which makes me wish more companies would combine the two rather than only advertising it as an alternative.
Interesting thought, I have a tube of fluoride toothpaste so for science! I'll mix em for a week or two and see how that goes. I haven't really looked into how fluoride works but perhaps I will need to look into it further in the near future :D
thank you for stressing the leave in process with nano hydroxy apatite bc we are so used to being told to spit out the flouride which is poisonous if swallowed compared to the much safer natural nano hydroxy apatite
What a timing! Also recently got on board with Nanohydroxyapatite, I alternate between fluoride and xylitol-active calcium ones as well though. Heard that concentration of Nanohydroxyapatite should be 10% at least but it's great to hear that it’s been more effective at 2% for you though.
Niceee, I also am now trying a mix of fluoride and nano-HA for science to see how it goes. So far, it hasn't been better than just more nano-HA but I will give it a whirl for a few more days to see if anything changes. For me, the percentage difference wasn't worth it with the dry mouth I was getting (which I now think might be because of the SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) that another commenter mentioned was in the 10% one I had). But if 2% works for someone then trying 10% once down the road to A/B test wouldn't be a bad thing to explore!
So glad you’re onboard with nano-hydroxyapatite!!! It does help with whitening. The article you showed said physiological whitening, not psychological. Another plus. I use Boka. I’m currently trying the Boka Whitening. Cheers!!!
Ohhh good catch on the physiological part, not psychological! O well, that will forever now be baked into the video :D Boka has really been amazing for me and I every now and then try the Apagard just to see if I have gotten more used to it and every time it gives me the same side-effects of dry mouth throughout the night... So Boka is the top choice for me for now!
I was just gifted a tube and therefore researching - one thought that comes to mind - every other toothpaste you brush, spit, rinse - this you leave on. Doesn't that mean over time you ate that tube of toothpaste? If it has such a profound effect on your teeth, whats it doing further down?
I was buying Royal Apagard toothpaste from Amazon for a year or so, and it is expensive. For about a year now, I've been using Dr. Jen's Nano Hydroxyapatite toothpaste. It too is available on Amazon, but I buy it from Dr. Jen's website. It's less expensive than Royal Apagard. Perhaps I'll try the Boka toothpaste, when I run out of my current supply. I think I have another 6 tubes left. I like to buy in bulk. I think it does help with my tooth sensitivity. in my youth, I drank a lot of Dr. Pepper and Coca Cola and I believe it was the cause of major erosion of my teeth. I don't drink sodas now, and usually chew a piece of Xylitol gum after eating or drinking a sugary beverage. I tried the rinsing you suggested but didn't stick with it for long.
I'm always down to test out different brands so when I run out and need a refill, ill give Dr. Jen's Nano Hydroxyapatite toothpaste a whirl! Good for you to have kicked that soda habit, it really does do so much damage to your teeth. I used to drink the occasional pop here and there but since I have gotten on this oral health journey, it just hasn't been appealing to me anymore...
I've been using Apaguard Primo for about 5 years and like it but with try Dr. Jen's. During Covid I started grinding my teeth and have worn away the enamel on the back of my front teeth and on the top of my bottom teeth. Hope this will help Thank you. I work for HEB and will see if they carry it and can suggest that they do if we don't stock it.
There exist nano hydroxyapatite powder you can buy. I have ordered some and I will try to mix it with the xylitol powder rinses and my regular cheap non fluoride toothpaste. I am not paying 18$ or 65$ for a toothpaste. Try to get some and compare. These prices seem to be a scam the ingredients cost almost nothing.
Japan loves this. Just started using it recently. Is there any potential negative consequences for using it directly on exposed detin? Couldn't find any information on it. Or could it heal detin too?
Just like you, I haven't found any downsides of nano-HA, which includes its impact on dentine. on the flipside, I think it's a leap to say that it heals dentine but what studies say is that "In dentine, nano-HA penetrates into the demineralised collagen matrix acting as a scaffold for remineralisation and provides a good source of calcium locally.". So it helps remineralize dentine and as I mentioned in the video, studies claim it reduces dentine sensitivity.
So happy you’re on board with nano-hydroxyapatite!!! It does help with whitening. The article you showed said physiological whitening, not psychological. Another bonus! I use Boka and love it. I’m currently trying Boka Whitening. Cheers!!!
I looked further into it and when searching Google "is nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste banned in europe" it tells me that "Yes, Nano Hydroxyapatite (nHAp) is prohibited from being used in European cosmetic products.". It's kinda deceiving because it specifies cosmetics but that's not what I want to know. If you look at the European Union website and their stance on it, they say that "Based on the data provided, the SCCS considers hydroxyapatite (nano) safe when used at concentrations up to 10% in toothpaste, and up to 0.465% in mouthwash.". You can also just buy nano-HA toothpaste in Europe too so it doesn't seem like there is a ban on it.
@@MasterEverydayLiving You are right. That info was confusing but it turns out that I actually have a sample toothpaste from my dentist that contains Hydroxyapatite (Vitus). I will try it.
@@MrJCHsteel Glad to have shed some light on that, I had to do a double-take too when looking into it so I concur that the info and resources around it are quite confusing lol. After you are done your sample tube, let us know how it went :D
I agree that it is worth a shot and will give nano-HA a whirl for a year or so to see how it stands up long-term. As for dry mouth, one thing that I do naturally at night is to sleep mostly on my back with my mouth closed. So if you breath with your mouth open at night, perhaps using something to keep your mouth shut (like tape, which I have seen some people do) forcing nose breathing could be a solution for your dry mouth!
@@MasterEverydayLiving Lucky you can sleep on your back the whole night! My sleep gets disrupted due to a condition that disrupts my circadian rhythm... I don't have sleep apnea, but I do occassionally mouth breathe and so I sleep with one of those cheap devices that prevent bruxism. It works, but it is also kind of gross.
How is it going with your Xylitol, you still using it??? This is very expensive... this is like 10x more expensive then normal toothpaste.. Xylitol is not enough??
I am still using Xylitol crystals after most meals and it is going great! I will be using the 2% nano-HA toothpaste instead of "normal" toothpaste moving forwards as I think the current and potential benefits outweigh the price. Even though my 30 day experience was very positive, I am curious as to what my opinions on nano-HA will be long-term (I want to use it for a year or so get a comprehensive opinion on it). I don't think there is a singular solution that fixes everything but I feel like oil pulling in the morning, Xylitol throughout the day after meals and brushing at the end of the day has been the routine for me that covers all of my oral hygiene needs. With that framework, I am currently just tweaking bits and pieces here and there (like trying nano-HA) to see if I can optimize and make the routine better!
@@MasterEverydayLiving this has been my routine too , I don’t even always brush in the morning my abscesses went away and morning breath, and my tooth that was is debilitating pain has stopped bothering me
I don't have zirconia crowns or saw anything in my research mentioning anything about zirconia crown so I sadly enough wouldn't know. If you end up trying nano-HA toothpaste then let us know how it went!
Good video! You should check out our tooth powder that utlizes 5% nano (same source for nHAp as Boka) and 5% micro bone derived grass fed hydroxyapatite. Would love to hear your opinion on it! We'll send you some ✌️
So it would be "Boka Nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste" that you can search in google, which was the one I preferred. There might be other nano-HA toothpastes that you might find easier in India so I would look around and see if you can't find the Boka brand.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think higher fluroide concentrations e.g. 2000ppm-5000ppm that dentists can prescribe tend to be better at enamel remineralisation in comparison to Nano HA. In my non professional opinion just someone really into trying new products for the average person Nano HA is worth a try but it's basically just a little fancier or better feeling but a regular colgate is just as good. For those who want improve sensitivity and enamel issues etc high fluroide from your dentist is probably still better (and generally improving taking care of your teeth). Edit: The anti fluoride quacks have reached the comments to this. I won't entertain it. Fluoride is safe.
@@freshmanenglishhelp It's even worse fluoride the molecule is toxic, there is no safe level just like mercury or lead. Every single molecule does damage. So anytime a person can avoid fluoride is a good thing.
Fluoride is not toxic. Fluoride in toothpaste is not fluoride as in... fluorine gas which, yes, is toxic. It's found as sodium fluoride or stannous fluoride, etc. which are fine at the levels in toothpaste. It's similar to how chlorine gas is harmful, yet chloride, when in the molecule sodium chloride, is completely harmless at the levels found in most food, and is actually necessary for our body to function. You need salt to live. There is a huge difference between an electrolyte and a diatomic. Fluoride and chloride are not like lead. That's just false. Lead is a special case due to brain chemistry and it's affinity for binding to sulfhydryl groups. Fluoride and chloride are just ions in a inorganic salt.
Using good ol Fluoride Toothpowder since 8 months & I can tell it's as effective as HA toothpastes out there,but it saves lots of money compared to these new fancy HA toothpastes which is not even approved by FDA.The only condition I have to keep in mind is to spit it out after swishing and not to gulp it down by mistake coz its toxic😂(I am from India too)
you rinse it out? You’re not meant to rinse after brushing even if it’s fluoride, I think especially if it’s fluoride because you want to give the fluoride time to work on your teeth
Niceee and appreciate the recommendation! I was trying to find the nano-HA percentage in David's on their website or ingredients list and I might be crazy but its not listed anywhere +___+
I have tried both, the particular flavor I got of Boka i did not care for, I am now on my third tube of Davids. one thing for sure, I don't have to worry about sensitive teeth, I can bite into ice cream like a barbarian.
