Does fluoride-free toothpaste protect against cavities? Nano-hydroxyapatite is a mineral that makes up tooth enamel; it supports remineralization and has been compared to fluoride in studies. If you are prone to cavities, consult your dentist about your choice — more in the FAQs below.

Why fluoride-free toothpaste?

Fluoride is the most well-researched anti-cavity ingredient. But not everyone wants to use it — due to sensitivity, small children who swallow toothpaste, or simply by choice. Nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) is widely studied for enamel remineralization and is the most popular alternative in modern toothpastes. It has been used in Japan since the 1980s. Our fluoride-free toothpastes are based precisely on this ingredient.

How to choose

For daily use for adults — choose BOKA in the Ela Mint variant (classic, refreshing mint) or Cinna Mint (an intriguing cinnamon and mint blend). Looking for stronger support? Opt for a higher nHAp concentration: Ollie Clean Mint contains a full 10%, and PrevDent 15% (plus potassium nitrate — an ingredient used in toothpastes designed for sensitive teeth). In our fluoride-free selection, you will also find Laro and Davids. For the little ones — BOKA Kids in three flavors. All our fluoride-free toothpastes have clean formulas without SLS.

Frequently asked questions

Does fluoride-free toothpaste protect against cavities?

Nano-hydroxyapatite is studied for enamel remineralization and in some studies performs comparably to fluoride, but the evidence is not definitive for every formula. If you are prone to cavities, talk to your dentist about your toothpaste choice.

Is fluoride-free toothpaste good for children?

This is one of the most common reasons for choosing it — small children swallow some of the toothpaste. BOKA Kids has a fluoride-free and SLS-free formula with nano-hydroxyapatite. Use according to the manufacturer's instructions and in an amount appropriate for the child's age.

Which fluoride-free toothpaste has the most hydroxyapatite?

PrevDent nHAp — 15% according to the manufacturer. Ollie Clean Mint — 10%. BOKA does not disclose the concentration.

Are fluoride-free toothpastes SLS-free?

All fluoride-free toothpastes in our selection are also free from SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), which can irritate the mucous membrane in some people (the evidence linking it to canker sores is limited).

Does fluoride-free toothpaste whiten teeth?

It does not whiten in a chemical sense. Nano-hydroxyapatite smoothes the enamel surface and can optically brighten teeth. If you are looking for a whitening effect, see our whitening toothpastes.
