Frequently Asked Questions About Fluoride-Free Mouthology Toothpaste

What is Nano Hydroxyapatite, and why is it used in toothpaste?

Nano Hydroxyapatite (nHAp) is a form of calcium phosphate that closely resembles the mineral composition of our teeth and bones. In toothpaste, it helps remineralize enamel, repair microscopic tooth damage, and reduce sensitivity.

Its small particle size allows it to reach and protect even the tiniest tooth fissures, supporting overall dental health effectively.

Can this toothpaste help with sensitive teeth?

Yes, the 10% nano hydroxyapatite concentration in Mouthology’s toothpaste is specifically beneficial for individuals with sensitive teeth. It helps by filling in microscopic cracks and tubules in enamel, which reduces exposure to the nerves and, in turn, alleviates sensitivity caused by hot, cold, or acidic foods.

Is Mouthology’s Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste safe for daily use?

Absolutely. Mouthology’s 10% Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste is designed for daily use and provides essential remineralization to help keep your teeth healthy and strong. Unlike fluoride, nHAp is naturally biocompatible and safe for all ages, making it an excellent daily defense against enamel erosion and tooth decay.

How does this toothpaste compare to fluoride toothpaste?

While both fluoride and nano hydroxyapatite are effective in fighting cavities and strengthening enamel, nHAp is biocompatible and offers a gentle, non-toxic alternative.

It works by filling in and repairing enamel micro-damage, helping to prevent plaque buildup without the risks associated with fluoride sensitivity.

Is it safe for children to use this toothpaste?

Yes, nano hydroxyapatite is safe for all ages, including children, as it is non-toxic and biocompatible. For children under six, use a smaller, rice-grain-sized amount to minimize toothpaste ingestion, as recommended by pediatric dentists.

Can Mouthology’s toothpaste be used by people with braces or other dental work?

Yes, Mouthology’s nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste is gentle enough for individuals with braces, crowns, or veneers.

It can help strengthen enamel around dental work without the risk of abrasive damage.

However, consult your orthodontist for personalized guidance.

Does Mouthology’s toothpaste have any artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives?

Mouthology is committed to clean ingredients. This 10% nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste is free from artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives, making it safe, natural, and effective for daily use in supporting a healthier smile.

Does Nano-Hydroxyapatite really whiten teeth naturally?

Yes! NHA helps gently polish the teeth while repairing enamel, resulting in a brighter, whiter smile without the need for harsh chemicals or abrasives.

How often should I use this toothpaste for optimal results?

For the best results, use Mouthology’s 10% Nano-Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste twice a day.

Use it once in the morning and once before bed. Regular use strengthens enamel, protects against cavities, and reduces sensitivity. This leads to healthier teeth and a brighter smile over time.

What makes Mouthology’s Toothpaste unique?

  • Mouthology Toothpaste is a fluoride-free, vegan oral care product made with natural ingredients. It features 10% Nano-Hydroxyapatite, a cutting-edge remineralizing agent, and is free from harsh chemicals like SLS and artificial additives.

Is 10% Nano-Hydroxyapatite safe for daily use, kids & pregnant women?

Yes, it is safe and non-toxic. Unlike fluoride, it poses no risk of overuse or ingestion, making it an excellent choice for families and individuals seeking a safer toothpaste alternative.

Can Nano-Hydroxyapatite toothpaste prevent cavities?

Yes, it helps remineralize and strengthen teeth, making them more resistant to acid erosion and cavity formation. It creates a protective barrier on the enamel for long-term health.

How is Nano-Hydroxyapatite different from fluoride?

While fluoride strengthens enamel by remineralizing it, Nano-Hydroxyapatite goes a step further by physically repairing enamel and providing immediate benefits for sensitivity, whitening, and protection. Plus, it’s non-toxic, making it safer for all ages.

Are any of the ingredients soy-based or contain soy derivatives?

None of the ingredients in Mouthology Toothpaste are soy-based or contain soy derivatives.

Is Mouthology Toothpaste vegan?

Yes, Mouthology Toothpaste is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

What is the Relative Dentin Abrasivity (RDA) of Mouthology Toothpaste?

The RDA of Mouthology Toothpaste is 136.3, making it a safe option for daily brushing without risking enamel damage.

Can Nano-Hydroxyapatite toothpaste prevent cavities?

  • Yes, it helps remineralize and strengthen teeth, making them more resistant to acid erosion and cavity formation. It creates a protective barrier on the enamel for long-term health.
