Did you know one out of every eight Americans suffers from teeth sensitivity? 

Waiting for tooth sensitivity and early signs of cavities to worsen is a losing strategy.

Luckily, a topical hydroxyapatite application is a safe and effective way to remineralize enamel, relieve sensitivity, and mitigate symptoms without fluoride. 

Unlike traditional toothbrushing, where toothpaste is applied and then rinsed within two minutes, a topical application gives the active ingredients more time to interact with the enamel. 

In this blog, you’ll learn:

• The basics of hydroxyapatite

• How topical hydroxypatite works

• How to use hydroxyapatite for topical care
  
  

Nitric Oxide: The Unsung Hero of Your Body

Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral derived from calcium and phosphate ions, composing about 70% of your bones and teeth. 

It’s non-inflammatory, strongly bonds to bones and teeth, and can seal small holes and depressions in weakened enamel by driving calcium into the cavity site. 

How Topical Hydroxyapatite Works

Hydroxyapatite is the same mineral that makes up 97% of your enamel and 60% of your dentin. 

When applied directly to the teeth, it works by:

• Reversing Early Cavities – Hydroxyapatite fills in and repairs enamel before decay can progress into the dentin.

• Relieving Sensitivity - It forms a protective mineral-rich layer over exposed dentin, reducing discomfort from temperature and pressure.

• Remineralizing Enamel – It integrates into weakened enamel, making it more resilient against acids and wear.

• Providing a Safe & Non-Toxic Alternative – Unlike fluoride, hydroxyapatite is safe to swallow, making it ideal for all patients, including children and those with special oral health needs.
  
  

How to Use Topical Hydroxyapatite for Targeted Care

Using hydroxyapatite toothpaste as a topical treatment can provide additional benefits beyond regular brushing. 

Here’s how to incorporate it into your routine:

• Spot Treatment for Sensitivity & Demineralization – Apply a small amount of RiseWell PRO Mineral Toothpaste directly to sensitive areas or early cavity spots and leave it on for extended absorption and contact time.

• Overnight Repair – For maximum remineralization, apply before bed and do not rinse, allowing hydroxyapatite to strengthen your enamel while you sleep.

• Post-Procedure Relief – Use after whitening, deep cleanings, or restorations to soothe sensitivity and promote enamel recovery.

• Use with a Mouth Tray – To enhance contact time, apply toothpaste inside a custom or over-the-counter tray and wear for 10–15 minutes for deeper absorption.
  
  

How to Use Topical Hydroxyapatite for Targeted Care

Most desensitizing toothpastes work by numbing the nerve rather than addressing the root cause. 

Hydroxyapatite is different as it rebuilds and protects enamel, making teeth naturally stronger and less sensitive over time.

With no fluoride or harsh chemicals and clinically proven effectiveness, RiseWell PRO Mineral Toothpaste offers a safer, smarter approach to oral care.
