Fygg Nano-Hydroxyapatite Dental Varnish | Fluoride-Free Enamel Repair for Sensitive Teeth | Mild Mint Flavor, Suitable for Adults & Kids

This varnish indeed has a very mild mint taste, which I find pleasant. I hate toothpastes and varnishes that have essential oils because these make my mouth and lips burn and leave them dry and irritated. I noticed a whitening effect already after my first use. And my teeth continue to get whiter after a month's use as a toothpaste. But I need to say I had naturally very white teeth but my teeth got a bit stained after years of eating lots of curried dishes and drinking dark juices.It's indeed quite expensive as a toothpaste and the tube is really tiny, only 1.36 oz (38 g). But so far this is the most whitening toothpaste I've found. And the instructions on the tube say to use a little amount since the product states it's a highly concentrated formula. The long, fine tip makes it easy to control the quantity without waste. It shouldn't be rinsed off after brushing to maximize the contact time. It claims to be safe for all ages, even babies.On the back of the tube, I noticed a mention of ”enhanced with nanoXIM by FLUIDINOVA" and I immediately looked it up. It's a synthetic nano hydroxyapatite and the only one in the world that is scrutinized and approved as safe by European authorities. The particles in nanoXIM are rod shaped, which is considered safe. Needle shaped nano hydroxyapatite particles raise concerns about potential toxicity due to their ability to easily penetrate tissues and cause inflammation.The tube arrived shrink-wrapped and it had a tiny metal seal at the tip which is good because I don't like toothpastes that aren't tamper evident.I am glad to see on the tube it's made in USA. It's manufactured by Oral Microbiome Solutions LLC in Portland, OR. I further see a website and the same handle for Instagram and TikTok and an expiration date of 07/2026. So I got a fresh tube. Lastly, the ingredients are water, glycerin, non GMO xylitol, hydrated silica, nano hydroxyapatite, xanthan gum, l- arginine, chicory root, monk fruit extract, potassium sorbate, mint and limonene.

I wasn't optimistic when I ordered this product to help lessen the sensitivity in my teeth caused by hot or cold food and drinks. The application process is straightforward; simply ensure you carefully read the instructions. As noted in the title, it seems to have reduced or eliminated the sensitivity in my two front top teeth, although I haven't noticed any improvement in my back teeth. I plan to try a few more applications and avoid overly acidic foods to see if this helps. It's a bit expensive, but it may be worthwhile for some.

My dentist had me switch to a different brand of nHA toothpaste that contains 10% nHA. It isn't cheap at $25, but it's proven to be a great product. What I don't understand is why this product, which contains 8.3% nHA, costs over a hundred dollars. I'm also a little skeptical due to the fact that they include the brand my dentist recommended in their comparison chart, but they claim it doesn't contain ANY nHA. When I tried to find out more about this product, most of the google links went to TikTok, which is a bit of a red flag for me. Perhaps if they were to expand on what makes their varnish so superior, I could better assess whether or not this a worthwhile product for the money. I've definitely spent over a hundred bucks on high concentration fluoride treatments the dentist has prescribed me, so it's not inconceivable that something like this could cost so much, but I'd need independent references/data/studies before plunking down that kind of money for an OTC formula.

If you're wondering why this toothpaste is so expensive, it's not toothpaste.This is an award winning professional grade tooth varnish, similar to what is applied through your dentist's office. This varnish was awarded one of 2024's "Best In Class Awards" by "Registered Dental Hygienist Magazine".This varnish also meets both safety and efficacy standards per the EU, according to the Fygg website. It is fluoride free. This is also sold on professional Dental supply sites which indicate that this tube is good for 100 (yes, one hundred) applications. I think one application is per tooth, but still, that's a lot of treatments.If you're interested in ordering this product, Fygg has a lot of info on their website, including:- PATIENT EDUCATION SHEET. Definitely check this out. Only two pages which lots of info, and a comparison of Colgate Pro-Relief including actual pix of the little "dentin tubules" which are the tubes in the teeth that cause sensitivity.- TECHNICAL DATA SHEET (which includes a 40 page whaite paper which I read, I mean, skimmed,...)- POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS which is only a half page and you should read if you're getting this.- SAFETY INSTRUCTION SHEET which is a really technical OSHA document that wasn't really helpful to me.For my own use, I followed the instructions on the packaging, the Technical Data Sheet, and Post Care Instructions. I applied a thin coat this varnish to the specific teeth that feel sensitive to cold which has just started. I did not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes (I did this before bed), and then I stayed away from any acidic food or drink for the next day. I did this every other day for a week and my teeth feel less sensitive.I'm absolutely thrilled to have this product available to me without going to the dentist.
