The PerioSciences AO Pro Toothpaste White Care promotes a whiter smile while also using hydroxyapatite to remineralize your teeth. This product contains high concentrations of fluoride alongside hydroxyapatite, peppermint oil, and grapefruit extract, and it contains mostly naturally sourced ingredients.
What contains hydroxyapatite?
Hydroxyapatite is present in bone and teeth; bone is made primarily of HA crystals interspersed in a collagen matrix—65 to 70% of the mass of bone is HA. Similarly HA is 70 to 80% of the mass of dentin and enamel in teeth. In enamel, the matrix for HA is formed by amelogenins and enamelins instead of collagen.
Is hydroxyapatite safe to ingest?
Non-toxic: Hydroxyapatite is biomimetic. There are no side effects with hydroxyapatite—in fact, it's safe enough to swallow the entire tube of toothpaste!
