Fygg Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste (Vanillia Vibes) | Vanilla Kids Tooth Paste with Prebiotics (4 Oz) | Natural & Fluoride-Free | Proprietary Enamel Remineralizing & Repair | Dentist Formulated

Highly recommended by my dentist ! And arrived earlier than expected 👌🏻

Love this toothpaste for my toddlers! I noticed a difference in his teeth and he enjoys the flavor so that’s a BIG win. I haven’t tasted it, but it smells good. Brushing his teeth used to be a fight but he really likes this stuff. It lasts a long time and I think the size is very good. Most hydroxyapatite toothpastes are much smaller than the fluoride filled “dentist approved” competitors. But I think this is a good amount. It “lathers”? well. It took a while to train him out of rinsing his mouth out after, but he’s used to the routine now. We have tried 3-4 toothpastes and I think we will end up repurchasing this one! I’ve had issues with my teeth my whole life, I really pray that isn’t the case with my kids. Starting them off well with quality and consistency. I think it’s worth the “investment”. The extra few dollars are 100% worth it

So I have a lot to say about this product. 1) I love this, but not as a toothpaste. I brush my teeth with my normal toothpaste and then brush this onto my teeth with my finger (like a teeth mask) and let it sit. I do understand the product is supposed to be a toothpaste but unfortunately it just doesn't make my teeth clean. However, it does have a very important ingredient (hydroxyapatite) which remineralizes teeth. 2) I wish this product came in the form of like a "whitening strip" but without whitening and instead just to be used as a remineralizing treatment. Or better yet, sold with silicone teeth trays to use that way. I feel like it would have faster results. 3) I bought the vanilla flavor and have no issue with the taste, it's great and it doesn't bother me. 4) I took pictures of my teeth the day I bought it and I will come back and update in a few weeks with my results

I was excited to try the product based on the ingredients shown in the Amazon photo, but I got a tube of something different. I’ve uploaded a photo of my phone’s screen showing the ingredients displayed on Amazon next to a tube showing the ingredients that I got. I didn’t really want the potassium chloride and bentonite, but they aren’t harmful. I just wanted the simpler ingredients. When I review the Amazon page, I see now that there are two designs for this flavor with two different ingredient lists. The company’s website shows the shorter, simpler ingredients list. Did the formula change? Did I get older or newer stock? I like the pH Adjuster on the ingredients list of the product I got, though. But I’m kind of disappointed because I was expecting one thing and got something else. As for the product itself, I just tried it for the first time. It doesn’t taste like vanilla frosting as suggested on the website, but I don’t mind as I’m not using this for taste but rather function. I noticed that unlike my regular toothpaste, I don’t feel any coatings or slickness on my teeth, which suggests it’s not stripping or coating the biofilm, which is a good thing, I used a very low RDA toothpaste previously, so I’m not sure if it’s just me, but there is a grittiness, which I assume is the silica — hopefully this will help make my teeth whiter - it’s not bad, it’s just not something I’m used to. For the most part, I feel good about this nontoxic formula. The directions say not to rinse, so I suppose it’s as nontoxic as you can get. It’s just that I was hoping to get the ingredients shown, because this toothpaste is expensive and I wanted what I thought I was paying for. If there was a formula change or they are selling old stock, it would have been better to have listed that in the Amazon description. It’s confusing to list two sets of ingredients on the Amazon page for the same product. Not sure if I will continue to purchase after I use this tube up, unless there are assurances that I’m getting the same formula shown on the Amazon sales page. UPDATE: After using this for about a week, here’s what I noticed: (1) this actually does taste like vanilla frosting. I must not have used enough when I first tried it (2) my tooth sensitivity disappeared. I’m not sure if this was due to the potassium chloride or the hydroxyapetite. But my teeth feel strong and without pain. (3) after just one week, my gums are tight and healthy. Not sure what the cause is, perhaps the microbiome is healthier? (4) my breath when I wake up in the morning does not smell at all. Keep in mind j was previously using a very basic (high pH) toothpaste and mouthwash and my mouth was great except for a few sour spots when I woke up… when I switched to only using this toothpaste without mouthwash, my mouth still feels fresh in the morning, I can’t explain it. UPDATE: I bought a tube of Fygg toothpaste from another online retailer (the famous auction site that rhymes with “pay”) that has the ingredients listed in the Amazon photo for this product listing (the ingredients that include non-GMO vegetable glycerin, etc.). I just used it for the first time. There seems to be a difference in mouthfeel; I don’t know if it’s the glycerin or what, but there’s less grittiness. There is still silica in the ingredients. But it’s less “rough” - I assume the RDA is less and would cause less wear on my exposed dentin. This formula is also a bit more gel-like, not sure if the glycerin causes that. But the formula that I used originally (the one with potassium chloride and bentonite, etc.) had more liquid separation and I had to shake the tube to get everything to mix. UPDATE: After using the formula with the non-GMO Glycerin for about 10 days, I wanted to write an update comparing the formula to the one I got from Amazon. The one I received from Amazon made my teeth feel super strong within a couple of days, and I feel it’s the potassium chloride ingredient that’s responsible. When I switched to the Fygg formula that doesn’t contain the potassium chloride, my teeth felt sensitive again within a couple of days. However, after about a week or so, the sensitivity lessened… disappeared… likely because the nano-hydroxyapatite covered my dentin tubules. This is amazing, as the leading “sensitive teeth” toothpastes with potassium nitrate need over a month to start working. Whereas the potassium chloride basically numbed my teeth, the hydroxyapatite-only formula just made my teeth less sensitive, which is all I need. I still have no mouth odor in the morning, though keep in mind that I am following the instructions on the tube *exactly*, meaning I am tongue scraping (which I wasn’t doing before) and not rinsing after using the toothpaste. I really feel he microbiome-friendly formula is making my mouth healthier. My gums are still tight and healthy (better than when I was using another brand of toothpaste that basically just raised the pH of my mouth with baking soda). All in all, I think Fygg is a good brand and both formulas work great. I would use the formula with potassium chloride and bentonite if I had to, but I do prefer the more natural formula with less ingredients. I increased my rating for this product from 3 stars to 4 stars because the product is good, tastes good, and makes me feel good knowing I’m doing something good for my oral microbiome. I’m still docking one star because Amazon delivered the formula that was not advertised in the product’s main photos, and I can only assume that Fygg knows what is in stock at the Amazon warehouse and allowed old stock to be delivered. Because their website only shows the formula that I prefer, and so I’m assuming that formula is the new formula. SUMMARY: it’s a good brand, a good toothpaste, and you should try it. Just be mindful of the fact that there are two formulas for this toothpaste floating around,

The nanoHAP particles in this USA made brand are described as more optimal nanoXIM rod shaped particles designed to rebuild tooth enamel at 3.1% concentration vs other brands which may or may not have up to 10% nanoHAP -that also may be in clay based pastes (most fluoride clay based brands reportedly contain trace amounts of lead when lab tested). This brand is glycerin based, with a xylitol prebiotic additive to keep gums healthy, and a decent vanilla taste vs a strong mint flavor if you prefer a gentler experience. Since HAP is the material of tooth enamel, using this will be part of my daily routine with other products. Like most brands, optimal use means rinsing your mouth out first of any food or drink residue, then using this and spitting it out, but leaving it on your teeth for it to work properly and not rinsing after.

I really wanted to love this toothpaste but it is definitely not for me. I used this toothpaste at night and when I woke up in the morning my mouth tasted like band-aids...and then they first bites of my food tasted weird. This happened everytime so I had to look it up, hoping my mouth would get used to it and maybe the band-aid effect would go away. It didn't. But here is what I learned: The “Band-Aid mouth” taste is a real thing with certain hydroxyapatite toothpastes. It’s not you. It’s chemistry. Hydroxyapatite is the same mineral your enamel is made of, but in nano form it has a much larger surface area. It can bind to proteins and lingering compounds in your saliva overnight. It doesn’t taste strong on its own. But when it binds like that it can leave a weird plastic-bandage / chalk-metal aftertaste. Many people report this when using nano-HAp, especially if they have a dry mouth when sleeping. The prebiotic fibers can ferment slightly if they sit in a dry mouth overnight. That can combine with the mild mineral taste of hydroxyapatite. Together it can create that “medicinal sweet-plastic” taste. When you sleep, your mouth dries out. Saliva gets thick, acidic, and sulfury. Hydroxyapatite binds to that acidity and the reaction can produce that Band-Aid note. HAp forms a thin film on your teeth. That film can linger and cause your first bites of food to taste off until it dissolves. I learned that regular HAp does not cause the Band-Aid taste for most people. Also, possibly trying a mint version could help, rinsing after brushing (although instructions say you get better benefits by not brushing), or brushing earlier in the evening. I'm giving the product 3 stars because I love the concept, love the clean ingredients and appreciate the minimal packaging (no wasted cardboard box!). I wish this had worked for me. I hope it works for you. Worth a try.
