Another option for leveling up on toothpaste is using those that contain micronized hydroxyapatite. Options here are Carifree or the Japanese brand Apagard available on eBay or Amazon. Biomin’s formula is proprietary but it might contain hydroxyapatite in part.

I stopped randomly getting cavities after using xylitol gum occasionally and brushing with these various toothpastes, n=1.

There also exist a variety of oral probiotics that claim to rebalance mouth flora away from species that cause cavities.

While no dentist ever told me about any of these options, at least Carifree is starting to market through US dentists.

wow, just found this where they compared HAP to fluoride and found no difference: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41405-019-0026-8

I have novamin. I think it makes my teeth feel different. May be placebo.

A lot of people swear by HAP, novamin, etc. I suspect it all comes down to increased oral care and diligence though!

I definitely feel something too, like the surface is slicker.

All prices under €4, but of course shipping rates are for local delivery and I have no idea if the sellers can ship abroad, most of them might not even speak a word of English, however here they are; making quite a big order would defeat the costs for shipping to the US, which usually are high.

PS. Novamin is Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate as the active ingredient.

My dentist turned me on to Colgate Prevident and the regular Sensodyne fluoride pastes but never that one.
