Is hydroxyapatite toothpaste better than fluoride?

Research shows the two are roughly equal at preventing cavities and remineralizing enamel. The main differences are safety and mechanism: hydroxyapatite is non-toxic if swallowed, does not cause fluorosis, and rebuilds enamel with the same mineral present in a tooth. Many people choose hydroxyapatite because it delivers similar protection without the concerns some have about fluoride.

Does hydroxyapatite toothpaste whiten teeth?

It can brighten teeth, but not by bleaching. Hydroxyapatite fills surface imperfections in enamel, which makes teeth smoother and more reflective, and it helps remove plaque and surface stains. The result is a naturally whiter, glossier look over time without the sensitivity that hydrogen peroxide whiteners can cause.
