The Future of Tooth Protection: Why Microhydroxyapatite Is the New Fluoride

Introduction

For years, fluoride has been the gold standard in tooth protection, but as new research emerges, alternative ingredients are gaining attention. One such ingredient is microhydroxyapatite. In this blog post, we explore why fluoride is outdated, how microhydroxyapatite is changing the landscape of oral care, and what this means for your dental health. Dr. Jordan Harper sheds light on this evolving topic, revealing why the future of oral wellness lies in innovation.

Why do people still believe fluoride is the only effective option for tooth protection?

Many people believe fluoride is essential because it has been promoted for decades as the ultimate tooth protector. However, as Dr. Harper explains, microhydroxyapatite offers a superior alternative. It's more effective but hasn’t been widely marketed due to its higher production costs. With ongoing education, microhydroxyapatite is poised to replace fluoride as the go-to for oral health.

What is microhydroxyapatite, and why is it better than fluoride?

Microhydroxyapatite mimics the natural structure of tooth enamel, making it more effective at remineralizing teeth without the toxicity concerns linked to fluoride.

Why hasn’t microhydroxyapatite been widely adopted yet?

The cost of producing microhydroxyapatite is significantly higher than fluoride. However, brands like ENML are working to make it more accessible.

Will fluoride become obsolete in the future?

Dr. Harper believes that as consumers become more aware of alternatives, fluoride use will decrease. In 20 years, microhydroxyapatite will likely be the standard.

What is the role of fluoride in oral health today?

Fluoride has been essential for decades, but better alternatives like microhydroxyapatite now exist, offering a more natural and safer solution for maintaining oral health.

"Why is it that people believe, still to today, that fluoride is the only thing that can protect your teeth? Because microhydroxyapatite hasn't been promoted. Microhydroxyapatite is very expensive to manufacture. You know, we're using this fluoride, we're using this fluoride, we're using this fluoride. It's indoctrinated the people, so that's all the people think, right?"

"And that's what we're doing as part of Enamel and part of this podcast is trying to educate the consumer. Like, look guys, there are other options out there. And by the way, the options are better."

"In 20 years, my goal is that microhydroxyapatite becomes common knowledge, and fluoride is seen as outdated."
