When is National Hydroxyapatite Day? This day will take place on May 29 of each calendar year.
What is National Hydroxyapatite Day? Hydroxyapatite day is a day to celebrate a natural, safe alternative in dentistry. It is already 97% of the tooth enamel, but can also be used as an alternative to fluoride for remineralizing the enamel in everyday toothpaste.
Why is this day being celebrated or observed? Hydroxyapatite is different because it works: Our hydroxyapatite toothpaste is made with naturally-derived hydroxyapatite, a mineral that makes up 97% of our tooth enamel and 60% of your bones, and has been proven to strengthen and protect your teeth without fluoride. It is becoming the standard in dentistry and we want to celebrate the mineral itself!
How should this day be celebrated or observed? The US population is becoming more aware of safer alternatives that work just as well as conventional remineralizers, and this should be more known! Your oral care is directly related to the rest of your body and a very important part of health that is typically ignored. We want to spread awareness about how important it is and how to maintain a healthy oral care routine and whole-body health.
