People waste their time and money with this garbage. I'm not saying its bad, but there's much better stuff out there. If you care about re-enamelization which everyone with bad to average teeth should, get some Prevident Rinse. Its prescription, its made by Colgate and it has a generic version also. There is also a prevident toothpaste. Use the mouthwash once a week and you're good. If your dentist doesn't tell you a…

Don't quote me, but fairly sure just using a fluoride toothpaste outperforms any kind of weekly mouthwash.

If you drink water which contains fluoride - you will destroy the pineal gland. Guaranteed. Same with a paste. One more thing - any paste by definition is an abrasive substance. So it will slowly remove the enamel - not build it.

Dave's is available in the U.S. and has NHAP, flouride, and the anti-sensitivity stuff from Sensodyne.

Do you mean David's? Their web site says it's "fluoride free". https://davids-usa.com/products/davids-sensitive-whitening-n...

Sorry, I mixed up my brands. I actually meant Ollie's. Dave's has the NAHP but not the flouride.

bah it's like $15-20 a tube that will last a couple months. That's nothing to most people on hackernews

More expensive than conventional fluoride toothpaste available in the US but I agree it is a small price to pay when considering the benefits

1 tube lasts me nearly 3 months. Eat at home one time and you're good. I'm not saying people who are living paycheck to paycheck where $15 makes a big difference between choosing rent or food or toothpaste, but that should have been obvious I think. Fluoride works of course, but I think in the long run nHAP works better and is probably better for your teeth. I know it fixes all my sensitivity issues and I haven't had a cavity in 10 years since I started it, was using novamin before that.

I found out the hard way that my mouth really doesn't like having SLS in it because I bought the wrong version of Sensodyne once. The "Pronamel" version is the only one I'm sure doesn't have SLS. Regular Sensodyne in other countries has novamin though, and does not have SLS. I've brought home a few tubes from traveling and it seems to work just as well as the US version - I don't get sensitivity back when using it.

Interesting. I buy Repair & Protect in Israel, it does not have SLS. I'll look to see where it was manufactured.

The tube that I'm currently using does contain Novamin, and was manufactured in Ireland.

novamin* and before that fluoride which I had occasional small cavities with.
