Clinical Education

ProMineralizer

A clinical primer on our hydroxyapatite toothpaste — what it's made of, how it strengthens enamel, the lab results behind it, and how to recommend it.

A fluoride-free, hydroxyapatite toothpaste

A fluoride-free, hydroxyapatite toothpaste

ProMineralizer rebuilds enamel with the same mineral that enamel is made of — hydroxyapatite — instead of relying on fluoride. Formulated by Dr. Paul O'Malley and available in Wintermint, Citrus Blast and Peppermint Wow.

  • 11% hydroxyapatite

    Rod-shaped nano + micro blend — the mineral enamel is made of

  • Fluoride-free

    No fluoride, SLS or glycerin

  • RDA 87.3

    Confirmed-safe abrasivity (ISO 11609)

  • Multiple flavors

    Wintermint, Citrus Blast & more

How it works on enamel

An 11% dual nano + micro hydroxyapatite mechanism — each particle size does a different job

  • Deposit

    Brushing delivers an 11% blend of rod-shaped nano and micro hydroxyapatite — the same crystal shape as enamel's own — across the surface.

  • Fill (nano)

    The smaller nano particles penetrate microscopic weak spots and tubules the micro particles can't reach, restoring smoothness.

  • Protect (micro)

    The larger micro particles form an outer layer that mixes with saliva to create an added protective coating over the enamel.

  • Remineralize

    Working at both scales, the 11% blend supports enamel remineralization and relieves sensitivity — without fluoride.

What the lab testing shows

Independently evaluated by Intertek CRS

    • 48.6%

      Less dentine permeability

      Mean flow-rate reduction after two brushings vs 18.7% for water — supports sensitivity relief. Study 119-LAB-DDO-22-001.

    • Significant

      Enamel remineralization

      Statistically significant surface-microhardness recovery on demineralised human enamel vs control. Study 119-LAB-SMH-22-001.

    • Lower

      Plaque biofilm growth

      Statistically significantly lower biofilm dry weight, bacterial count and streptococci vs control. Study 119-LAB-PLQ-22-001.

    • 1–2 shades

      Whiter enamel

      Average 1 (up to 2) VITA Bleachedguide shades whiter after ~1 week's brushing vs water. X-Shades study.

    • PCR 73

      Effective, gentle stain removal

      Pellicle Cleaning Ratio of 73 — effective yet gentler than the reference abrasive. Study 119-LAB-22-001.

    • RDA 87.3

      Confirmed-safe abrasivity

      Well below the ISO 11609 upper safety limit; passes ISO 11609 ('medium' abrasivity). Study 119-LAB-RDA-22-002.

In-vitro / laboratory results under controlled conditions; individual results vary. Full Intertek CRS reports available on request.

Which patients it's for

Consider recommending to patients presenting with:

  • Dentin hypersensitivity
  • Early / white-spot enamel lesions
  • Fluoride-averse patients
  • Erosion & remineralization needs
  • Extrinsic staining
  • Dry mouth
  • Holistic / clean-label preferences

How to recommend it

A simple protocol your team can share with patients

  • Usage

    • Brush twice daily

      Use a pea-sized amount morning and night, as with any toothpaste.

    • Spit, don't rinse

      Encourage patients to spit and avoid rinsing so hydroxyapatite stays on the enamel.

    • Prioritize nighttime

      The bedtime brushing leaves the mineral working overnight, when saliva flow is lowest.

  • What patients can expect

    • 1–2 weeks

      Many patients report reduced sensitivity and a smoother, cleaner feel.

    • Ongoing

      Continued use supports enamel strength, gentle whitening and stain control.

    Remineralization is gradual — twice-daily, consistent use gives the best results.

Patient talking points

Quick answers for the questions patients ask most

  • How does it work without fluoride?

    It uses hydroxyapatite — the same mineral that makes up ~97% of enamel — to fill and reinforce the surface, so it remineralizes without relying on fluoride.

  • Will it whiten teeth?

    Gently — lab testing showed an average of 1 (up to 2) VITA shades whiter after about a week's brushing, by removing surface stain rather than bleaching.

  • Is it safe for daily use / is it abrasive?

    Yes. Its RDA of 87.3 is 'medium' and well within the ISO 11609 safety limit, so it's suitable for twice-daily use.

  • Why spit but not rinse?

    Rinsing washes away the hydroxyapatite before it can settle on the enamel. Spitting leaves more mineral in contact with the tooth surface.
