Hydroxy... what?!?
The best remineralizing ingredient is hydroxyapatite which is superior to fluoride and nontoxic. It's the structural component within the crystals in your teeth, and your body naturally utilizes it! Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the main component of enamel, which gives an appearance of bright white and eliminates the diffuse reflectivity of light by closing the small pores of the enamel surface. Hydroxyapatite has long been among the most studied biomaterials in the medical field for both its proven biocompatibility and for being the main constituent of the mineral part of bone and teeth. Hydroxyapatite is also an important source of calcium and phosphate, very important for the remineralization of demineralized enamel areas.

Studies on biocompatibility have shown that hydroxyapatite chemically binds to bone and induces no phenomena of toxicity nor inflammatory, local or systemic. (Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252862/ )
HA is superior to fluoride AND non toxic! "In terms of restorative and preventive dentistry, nano-hydroxyapatite has significant remineralizing effects on initial enamel lesions, certainly superior to conventional fluoride, and good results on the sensitivity of the teeth."

Great news!!
Thieves Whitening Toothpaste has hydroxyapatite as it's powerhouse agent. It strengthens enamel, brightens and whitens, and the ingested residue contributes to strong bones in the rest of the body!
When YL launched this toothpaste, Dr Buch explained how they are using nano-HA to rebuild the enamel of teeth. HA is also what makes your teeth bright and reflect light! And nothing cleans enamel better than enamel... it pulls out coffee, wine, and tea stains!
