Enamel faces daily wear from acidic foods and drinks, a process known as enamel erosion. This gradual loss of mineral content can lead to common dental concerns like sensitivity and increased transparency. Regenerate Enamel Science Advanced Toothpaste provides a novel approach by actively restoring the mineral content of the tooth surface. The product supplies the necessary building blocks for repair.
The Core Science of Enamel Repair
The restorative action of the toothpaste relies on a patented system known as NR-5™ technology. This technology uses two key active components: calcium silicate and sodium phosphate salts. The formula is engineered to keep these ingredients stable and separate in the tube until they are combined with moisture during brushing.
Once the toothpaste mixes with water or saliva, the calcium silicate and sodium phosphate react chemically. This reaction creates a fresh supply of mineral that is chemically and structurally identical to natural tooth enamel, called hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral component, making up about 96% of the tooth’s enamel structure.
The newly formed mineral crystals integrate directly onto the enamel surface, effectively wrapping and integrating onto the teeth. This process works to reverse the initial stages of enamel erosion by replenishing the lost mineral content.
The continuous application of these calcium and phosphate ions supplements the body’s natural remineralization process. By depositing new hydroxyapatite, the technology helps to strengthen the enamel structure.
Measurable Outcomes and Advantages
The primary benefit is the substantial increase in enamel micro-hardness and overall strength. This new layer of mineral helps teeth better resist future acid attacks and daily wear.
A significant advantage is the reduction in dental sensitivity, which often results from enamel loss exposing the underlying dentin layer. The newly formed mineral acts to seal and occlude the microscopic channels within the dentin, blocking the pathways that transmit external sensations to the nerves. This sealing effect reduces the discomfort caused by hot, cold, or sweet stimuli.
The regeneration process also helps in restoring the tooth’s natural appearance. Enamel erosion can cause teeth to appear dull or slightly transparent, particularly at the edges. By rebuilding the mineral content, the toothpaste helps to restore the enamel’s original whiteness and natural transparency.
The application results in a smoother enamel surface. This restored surface smoothness makes it more difficult for plaque and stains to adhere to the tooth. Over time, this cumulative effect of strengthening and surface restoration enhances the tooth’s ability to resist the formation of cavities.
Optimizing Your Use
The toothpaste should replace your regular daily toothpaste. Use it twice a day, in the morning and evening, for optimal results. A pea-sized amount is sufficient for each brushing session.
Brush your teeth thoroughly for approximately two minutes, ensuring the product is spread across all surfaces. After brushing, spit out the excess toothpaste without swallowing it. A thorough rinse with water should follow to remove the remaining residue.
Some users may notice a slightly different texture or a mild warming sensation when brushing, which is characteristic of the concentrated formula and the active NR-5™ ingredients. Consistent, twice-daily use allows the technology to continuously supply the minerals needed to repair and strengthen the enamel over time.
