Right now I’m trying Elims toothpaste; it’s also created by a doctor, has 10% nano-hydroxyapetite, and xylitol. Seems like any toothpaste that has a higher % of nHAp is expensive, but I’ve been liking it so far. My teeth actually feel stronger.

Be aware it has glycerin, which makes the surface of the teeth very slick.

@Grace-yf2xc Ай бұрын

I’ve been using Dr Jen’s strawberry toothpaste for about three weeks and I already see a difference! My teeth have been becoming see through for the past couple years and it’s been concerning me, also I have sensitive teeth AND my hygienist noticed some demineralization In between some of my teeth. For three months I’ve been diligently brushing and flossing my teeth three times a day and make an effort to brush after drinking coffee and using the purple listerine twice a day. But I came across your vids and tried Dr Jen’s toothpaste. I’ve noticed my teeth becoming less see through ever since I’ve been using it!! So I think in combination of all these things, that’s why I’ve seen improvement, Dr Jen’s gave me the push I needed. (I think coffee was the main culprit because even if I brushed my teeth in the morning, after breakfast and drinking coffee, the acid would be sitting there for a long time). Anyway, I hope all this helps!!

Now using an ayurvedic toothpowder that's so powerful and surprising. Dasanakanti churnam by Kottakkal, I'm blown away to be honest. I was worried that my teeth would become discoloured but nope.

I am newly Whole Food Plant Based (vegan) so thanks for bringing this up! After reading your comment I emailed livingwellwithdrmichelle customer support.

Their website states "Made with clean ingredients backed by science. Paraben-free, vegan & cruelty-free." But these nano-hydroxyapatite products are pricy!
