Review on 👧 Apagard Apa-Kids 60g - The First Nanohydroxyapatite Remineralizing Toothpaste for Children by Carla Anderson

This should be the standard for children's toothpaste. The remineralizing effects of hydroxyapatite are superior to those of fluoride (according to numerous peer-reviewed studies readily available on the nih.gov website). It is not safe to allow a very young child to use fluoridated toothpaste as they could swallow a dangerous amount of it. Older children who can be trusted to spit and rinse will likely benefit greatly from this product: it doesn't have the "fluoride burn" that comes with standard toothpastes. You know what I'm talking about, now imagine that your mouth is sensitive several times; or remember the first time you had to use fluoridated toothpaste. That's right, it sucks. Well, brushing your teeth might still seem boring to your little one, but at least it won't be overly uncomfortable. Another advantage over traditional toothpastes is that they just work better. From the article "Remineralization of the Enamel Surface: Using Synthetic Nanohydroxyapatite" published in Contemporary Clinical Dentistry in 2012 (full text http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3636833/): Hydroxyapatite led to slight increase in melt thickness. Compared to fluoride, mineral content recovery was better and statistically significantly compared to fluoride, and surface microhardness (SMH) recovered statistically significantly faster than with fluoride. Yes, yes, yes, it's expensive for toothpaste, but it helps a little with this stuff; find something else to pinch your pennies. We got an "adult" Apagard at the same time, and it's outrageous how sexy-silky-smooth my teeth are.
