Elims Nano Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste – Fluoride-Free, Xylitol Remineralizing, Whitening for Sensitive Teeth, SLS-Free, Lavender Vanilla Mint Toothpaste for Adults & Kids, 4oz

If you’ve landed here after using Boka, you’re not alone! While I have no issues with Boka, I couldn’t justify the price for less than 10% nano-hydroxyapatite. That’s why I switched to this brand, and I’m genuinely impressed. I was sceptical about the lavender mint flavour, but to my surprise, it’s actually quite pleasant! As well as smelled strong enough to curb any bad odour.For those unfamiliar, nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) is a fantastic alternative to fluoride, especially if you struggle with tooth sensitivity, enamel erosion, or exposed roots due to gum recession. The nano form allows it to penetrate tiny cracks and help remineralise and repair enamel and dentin loss caused by age or health issues. However, it’s important to remember that this doesn’t replace regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings!If your teeth are already in good shape with no ongoing sensitivity, a standard hydroxyapatite (HA) toothpaste may be all you need for maintenance. But if you're debating between HA and nHA, I’d suggest researching the benefits of each before deciding.- My Experience with Post-Treatment SensitivityAfter undergoing root scaling and planing for moderate to severe periodontal disease (levels 3-7), I developed intense sensitivity, pain, and shocking sensations about six days post-treatment. My usual Boka toothpaste and a newly prescribed fluoride toothpaste weren’t helping. For two weeks, I suffered from numbing, electric-like pain on different areas of my upper teeth.Desperate for relief, I decided to try this nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste—and I’m so glad I did!- Day 1: I still needed painkillers, but the discomfort was noticeably reduced.- Day 2: I was able to cut down my Nurofen intake.- By 96 hours (4 days): I felt like my normal self again! My teeth were also whitening! 🙌🏼For best results, I recommend waiting at least 30 minutes before smoking, vaping, or drinking anything after brushing. Since this toothpaste contains 10% nano-hydroxyapatite, you’ll want to maximise its effectiveness. If cravings hit hard, I sometimes wait 15 minutes before vaping, but ideally, the longer, the better.Overall, this toothpaste exceeded my expectations in both functionality, smell, taste and effectiveness —definitely worth the switch!I hope my review was helpful. 🥹

The flavor of this is pleasing and minty, and makes my teeth feel nice and clean. Helps my sensitive spots and is a great value for xylitol toothpaste.

So far so good. I like the taste. Husband and kiddo do not like the taste. It is 10% nano hydroxyapatite so I was able to take care of a small cavity in a matter of a few mths. It does leak if you store it cap side down. It is very runny when you put it on your toothbrush. Hopefully they change the consistency soon.

Update 11/13I’ve been using this toothpaste for a few weeks now and I’ll say the flavor has grown on me. I still don’t find it so tasty but it’s not as bad as I originally thought. Can’t speak to the effectiveness other than general cleaning but am crossing my fingers that a couple places we are watching will not get worse!OriginalI’ve been using Boka, which I love, but thought I’d try something else to see if it is any better. I was a little unsure of the lavender flavor because I also use essential oils and lavender oil doesn’t smell good like lavender fragrance, and tastes about as bad. Well ... I was right to be hesitant. While the taste is not overpowering, I definitely wouldn’t call it good. It might not be as bad if the other flavors were slightly stronger and the lavender was left in the background. I do like the healing properties of lavender and hope it has a positive effect on my mouth so I overlook the taste for that reason. As far as the paste itself ... it’s fairly runny compared to any other tooth paste I’ve ever used, natural or otherwise. It does suds up well and gives me that typical toothpaste feeling while brushing. It makes me feel like it’s getting in between my teeth well where my tooth brush might not reach. I can’t speak to effectiveness yet as I’ve just started using it, but I’m hoping to be able to put off, if not eliminate the need for a filling and hopefully prevent new cavities in the future. I was born with a mouth full of bad teeth so just trying to do what I can to avoid more dental work!

I recently found out I have receding gums and a mild allergy to fluoride, so I wanted to experiment with a new toothpaste.I thought this would taste like a bakery with the vanilla but I was surprised by how earthy the taste was, it's almost like how I would imagine a home made toothpaste would taste. Lavender was definitely the forefront flavor in my opinion.Despite the disappointment of it not being very sweet one thing I noticed was the lack of burning which allowed me to brush for a full two minutes without pain, and the longer I brushed I appreciated the mild flavor more.Despite being quite pricey for toothpaste I will absolutely continue to use this brand because I value the honesty with the ingredients listed and the natural flavor that doesn't compromise on the experience.Only real gripe is the paste is quite runny so I used a little more than expected.

I’ve been using this toothpaste for about two years now I love it. The flavor is very light so you don’t have a bunch of terrible taste in your mouth. It’s just hardly anything actually and it does great on your teeth.

It maybe does what it says, but there’s no minty flavor at all so your breath doesn’t feel fresh. It’s supposedly strengthens your enamel. I only use it once in a while just to use it up I guess.Nothing jazzy about it!

My second time time using Elims and I love how amazing and fresh the vanilla lavender tastes. Last time I used pineapple orange mint which was also yummy. This brand has 10% nanohydroxyapatite which is one of the highest on the US market. I appreciate the transparency since few companies actually state this. My teeth also look noticably whiter. The price is also great as well. Other companies charge more for lesser quality. This will be a dental staple for sure. Hope to give an update after a dentist visit and continued use. 💚
