FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is hydroxyapatite?

Hydroxyapatite is the mineral your tooth enamel is naturally made of (around 97%). ApaCare uses medical-grade hydroxyapatite engineered to bond with the tooth surface — filling microscopic defects, smoothing, whitening and reducing sensitivity.

Is hydroxyapatite better than fluoride?

They work best together. Research shows the combination of medical hydroxyapatite and fluoride provides superior enamel protection and remineralisation compared to fluoride alone. Most ApaCare products use this dual strategy.

Is ApaCare safe for children?

Hydroxyapatite is non-toxic and safe if swallowed — it's the same mineral your teeth are made of. For specific age guidance, check the individual product page or ask your dentist.

How long until I see results?

Sensitivity relief is often noticeable from the first few uses. Smoothing and natural whitening build over 2-4 weeks of consistent use as the mineral layer develops.

Why shouldn't I rinse after brushing?

Leaving a thin film of toothpaste on your teeth lets the hydroxyapatite keep remineralising after you brush. Spit thoroughly, but skip the water rinse.

What makes ApaCare different from supermarket toothpaste?

25+ years of German clinical research, medical-grade hydroxyapatite, and a clean formula — no SLS, no titanium dioxide, no microplastics.
