Hydroxi Fluoride Free Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste for Remineralizing, Sensitive Support, Whitening, Antiplaque, SLS Free, Natural Peppermint, 5.25oz, Made in USA

I was skeptical at first but it exceeded my expectations. It doesn't get as foamy as the typical toothpaste does but it does a great job at cleaning my teeth. It's not harsh at all and I have noticed a decrease in the sensitivity in my teeth after a few days. It leaves a fresh taste in your mouth as well. I like how simple the ingredients are and it's not too expensive either. I haven't seen any whitening yet but I haven't been using it that long to really notice a difference. I definitely plan on purchasing this again. I might even try a different flavor and try the children's one also.

I’ve been using Davids Hydroxi Fluoride Free Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste for a couple of years now and I’ve actually enjoyed the switch. The first thing I noticed was the texture. It isn’t overly foamy like some toothpastes, but it still cleans really well. My teeth feel smooth and clean after brushing without that weird filmy feeling you get from some fluoride toothpastes. The natural peppermint flavor is fresh without being too strong or spicy. I’ve also noticed that it seems gentler on sensitive areas. I used to get slight discomfort when switching toothpastes or after brushing hard, but with this one that doesn’t happen. My mouth feels comfortable and clean afterward every time. I like that it’s fluoride free and uses nano hydroxyapatite for enamel support. That was a big reason I wanted to try it, and so far I’ve been happy with the results. I haven’t seen any negative changes in whiteness or plaque, and my dentist actually commented that my enamel looks good at my last checkup. The tube lasts a long time since you don’t need a huge amount to get a good clean. It’s nice to have a natural option that still works well and doesn’t sacrifice performance.

I like the whitening factor, and the fresh natural taste -- very minty. It helps my sensitive teeth -- my mouth feels better using it. Appreciate the lack of artificial sweetener. Nice packaging, too. The metal tube is sturdy; I can fold up the bottom and it stays folded. Not sure about its lack of fluoride, which had been proven -- over many decades -- to reduce cavities, but since I get treatments at my dentist I'll probably be OK without it.

This stuff is amazing. I've had cold sensitivity as far back as I can remember. I used sensodine and didnt help. Stopped drinking cold drinks. Until now. It actually works! A product that actually works! I can chug a glass of milk straight from the fridge and theres no pain. At all! Its even noticably whitening my teeth and I love that it helps remineralize your teeth. Taste is very mild. I deducted a star only because of the tube. Its metal...which if you dont squeeze it a certain way, you'll crinkle the tube and never be able to use all the toothpaste in it. Im on my second tube now that I saw they sell a toothpaste 'key' that you wind from the end. Waiting for it to arrive so hopefully it works and Im able to use the entire tube this time because I really love this toothpaste.

Fluoride free, which is important to me and my kids, its flavorful enough and I've enjoyed the results, cost effective, foams enough, good whitening and gentle on the kids, I highly recommend

I love this toothpaste. I really like the flavor but you can detect the baking soda taste in it. I don’t mind that at all. The peppermint is fresh very good in my opinion. Don’t mind the metal tube as it’s recyclable and no plastics to get in the toothpaste. Toothpaste feels very gentle while cleaning and whitening. Good price for a quality product!

Great taste. Helps with sensitive teeth & no fluoride, so I can brush on the couch & swallow it. My teeth feel really clean & as a dental hygienist, that’s important. I recommend it to my patients with sensitivity and for those that don’t want fluoride. I also like that there aren’t artificial sweeteners in it and no sodium lauryl sulfate.

What am I reviewing? I am reviewing Davids Hydroxi toothpaste. Primary reason selecting? I selected this primarily on the basis this has [nano] hydroxyapatite. What is the [nano] hydroxyapatite in Davids Hydroxi toothpaste? From my understanding, it is a synthetic of hydroxyapatite, in nano [very small] form. What is hydroxyapatite? From what I understand, it is calcium phosphate, a mineral that is an important component of human teeth – think enamel and dentin [which is below enamel]. What’s the idea of using this toothpaste? The idea, whether real or imagined, whether real science or not, is that the nano sized particles of the synthetic hydroxyapatite which is in this toothpaste might enter any defects in my teeth enamel and/or dentin and re-mineralize my teeth and possibly decrease any sensitivity. Okay, sounds good, what’s the issue then. It’s my hard look at the ingredients in this. Okay, what ingredients am I concerned about? To start, I am adverse to whitening toothpastes? Why am I adverse to whitening toothpastes? Because that’s all that seems to be on the market now, like this toothpaste, with a significant goal to whiten. So, what’s the issue with this being a whitening toothpaste? Because this has “abrasives” in the toothpaste. What are the abrasives? The very first ingredient is calcium carbonate [a limestone abrasive]; the fourth ingredient is sodium bicarbonate [baking soda – which is low on the list of abrasives, but still an abrasive] and then the sixth ingredient is hydrated silica [which some call the cousin of sand – it’s an abrasive. In hindsight, that’s too much for my comfort level. Wait, wait, wait, the listing noted the ingredients, so what’s the issue? I know, I know, but I wish the listing would have “pictured” the box, with the ingredients, I prefer that method of discovery, rather than print in the listing. The listing did not picture the box that showed the listing of ingredients – in hindsight, why not? Okay, this has abrasives, how much? The listing notes this toothpaste has an RDA scale of (101). What’s RDA? To my understanding, RDA, or Relative Dentin Abrasivity, measures how abrasive a toothpaste is on dentin. Since abrasive toothpastes can also wear down enamel—especially with hard brushing—it’s best to choose a low RDA toothpaste to protect your teeth. Where does this toothpaste fall on the RDA scale? The listing notes 101, which some argue is “High” on the abrasivity level, which starts at (100). To give a comparison, just the baking soda, alone, which this toothpaste has, would be a (7) on the abrasivity scale. What does the ADA consider this level? The 101 would be considered safe. However, for me, it’s too high. Oh, wait, what does the ADA say about this toothpaste? This toothpaste does not have the ADA’s Seal of Acceptance. What’s the ADA again? The American Dental Association. What issue does the ADA have about hydroxyapatite? The ADA does not endorse hydroxyapatite as a primary active ingredient for cavity protection, the do surrounding fluoride. Oh, yes, fluoride, does this toothpaste have it? No. This toothpaste, not having fluoride, is that good or bad? The reader will have to decide that. Anything else about this toothpaste I have an issue with Yes. What? This has Xylitol in it. So, what’s my beef with Xylitol? Xylitol has recently been the subject of a study – the reader can follow-up on this. However, I think it a negative. But this toothpaste is EWG certified? True, but I don’t think EWG is my arbiter surrounding the use of Xylitol; rather, it’s up to the reader to decide. So, why complain? Xylitol was disclosed. I missed that, until I read the ingredients on the box that this toothpaste tube arrived in. Okay, any other issues with this item? Yes, the toothpaste tube for this. What about the toothpaste tube? For me, it’s like the old toothpaste tubes found in grandma’s basement, it seems to be made of a metal, like aluminum, so, it is very stiff and at this price point, a key could have been supplied to use – no key was provided. Okay, so anything else? The tube is huge, but it seemed to have way to much air. I kept squeezing and no toothpaste, which is firm, not watery; the toothpaste was not being squeezed out until the tube was nearly collapsed. If left me feeling that I received very little product, for such a big tube. Country of origin? Made in the USA. Shelf-life after opening? (12) months When made? Unknown When received? Fall 2025. Expiration date? 08/2028 Is this perfect? Nope. Rating? I have no issue with the quality, but I think there is a lack of transparency going on here, surrounding not publishing a photo of the box which lists the ingredients and not acknowledging the new issue surrounding Xylitol, the lack of product in an oversized tube, that a key really is needed – and at this price point, could have been offered; and the amount of abrasives in this. I don’t care that this does nova have the ADA’s seal of approval. Further, the mint taste is a tad overpowering at first. Based on the totality, at best, this is a three (3) star product in my eyes. I hope my thoughts added a wee bit of information.
