HAP, available in Japan since 1970.

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.
