Why our fluoride-free shelf is all hydroxyapatite
"Fluoride-free" only tells you what was taken out. We wanted to know what was put in, and hydroxyapatite has the evidence: a 2023 meta-analysis of 44 clinical trials found it reduced tooth sensitivity compared with placebo, and randomised trials in adults and children found a hydroxyapatite toothpaste no worse than a fluoride one at preventing early decay. We chose Biorepair because it publishes its concentrations, and they are high. Our hydroxyapatite vs fluoride guide has the full reading.
