The Science Behind Nano-Hydroxyapatite
Introducing Nano-Hydroxyapatite
Scientifically proven to strengthen and protect your teeth.
History of Nano-Hydroxyapatite (nHAp)
In the late 1970’s that NASA scientists searched for a cure for Astronauts returning from zero gravity environments that were experiencing bone and tooth enamel loss.
Their treatment included introducing Nano-Hydroxyapatite (a naturally occurring mineral that makes up 97% of tooth enamel) into toothpaste to help restore and remineralize tooth enamel.
The mineral was so effective that a Japanese toothpaste company, Sangi, purchased the patent from NASA in 1980 to use in toothpaste. The rest is history.
For over 40 years, nHAp in toothpaste has proven to be be the most effective solution for helping to stop tooth decay all over the world.

The 10% Difference
Nano-hydroxyapatite has been clinically proven to remineralize tooth enamel at the same level as fluoride when used at the correct concentration, 10%, and the correct partial size. While other brands may include nHAp, Dr. Jen's includes the full 10% for optimal results.

In addition to remineralizing tooth enamel, 10% Nano Hydroxyapatite has additional benefits that fluoride does not offer:
Safe if Swallowed
(however, we do not recommend swallowing)
No warning labels required like fluoride in toothpaste
Smooths teeth creating a glossier and whiter smile.
Nano Hydroxyapatite fills pore and micro lesions in the enamel creating a smoother and whiter surface for a brighter-looking smile
Protects teeth
from sensitivity
nHAp fills the pore of exposed dentin and other weak surfaces of the enamel protecting the teeth from sensitivity.
Cleaner
teeth
With brushing, nHAp adheres to the plaque making it easier to remove plaque and food for the teeth.

FAQs
Why is Dr Jen’s nano Hydroxyapatite more expensive than other nano Hydroxyapatite brands?
While most brands only use 1 to 3% nHAp for marketing purposes, Dr Jen uses the required 10% nano Hydroxyapatite to remineralize tooth enamel at the same level as fluoride. See the clinical study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252862/
How does nano Hydroxyapatite work, and can I see the clinical studies?
Nano Hydroxyapatite is bio-compatible with tooth enamel. It enters the pores of the enamel and exposed dentin to remineralize enamel helping to prevent tooth decay. See study https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4252862/
What percentage of nano Hydroxyapatite and particle size is required to help stop tooth decay, and how much does Dr Jen’s toothpaste contain?
For nano Hydroxyapatite to be as effective as fluoride with remineralizing enamel, it has to contain 10% nano Hydroxyapatite. Cheaper forms of Hydroxyapatite with larger particle sizes are too large to enter pores and will not effectively remineralize tooth enamel.
Does Glycerin stop nano Hydroxyapatite from mineral uptake?
No, however there is misinformation created by some brands promoting inferior toothpastes. If you follow the clinical studies supporting nHAp as a clinically proven remineralizing ingredient, you see many of the studies used nHAp in a glycerin based toothpaste. Glycerin does not stop nHAp uptake. See the clinical study:
Does Dr Jen’s Toothpaste stop sensitivity?
Yes! Not only is 10% nano Hydroxyapatite effective at remineralizing enamel, but it is also great at coating exposed dentin and weak enamel to protect teeth from sensitivity.

Is Silk Floss more prone to break when flossing?
Unlike plastic floss, which is more durable and leaves microplastics in your mouth to be swallowed, silk is natural and easier to break when it comes in contact with sharp surfaces between the teeth. Sharp surfaces between the teeth could result from a chipped tooth, decay, or filling that is starting to break down. If you are breaking floss between any areas of your teeth, bring these areas between teeth to your dentist’s attention to help avoid more advanced dental work in the future.
