Education is needed for the improper oral hygiene, but NovaMin increases the pH to normal range and boosts the essential minerals to help with remineralization. NovaMin is very safe and non toxic. It has the same naturally occurring minerals that are in your saliva.
Is NovaMin FDA approved?
For whatever reason, Novamin is not sold in the US. It has been speculated that FDA approval could not be had for “repair” toothpaste (despite the fact that the drugstore is filled with products that promise to “restore” your teeth).
Does NovaMin rebuild enamel?
When exposed to water and saliva, NovaMin forms hydroxyapatite-like crystals that occlude exposed dentin tubules in teeth. Essentially, it compensates for damaged enamel by creating a temporary repair, both relieving tooth sensitivity and preventing new caries from forming in exposed tubules.
