Why do milk teeth need special protection from fluoride and hydroxyapatite?

Baby teeth have comparatively thin enamel. As a result, tooth decay can progress more quickly than in permanent teeth.

Fluoride supports remineralisation and increases the enamel’s resistance to acid attacks. It is one of the most thoroughly researched active ingredients in the prevention of tooth decay.

Medical-grade hydroxyapatite, also known as ‘liquid enamel’, can complement the care and remineralisation of the tooth surface.

ApaCare Kids combines both active ingredients to provide daily protection for milk teeth.

From the moment the first milk tooth appears, it is recommended to brush teeth twice daily using a fluoride toothpaste in an age-appropriate amount. For a fluoride concentration of 1,000 ppm, the recommended amount is usually a rice-grain-sized amount up to the child’s second birthday, and a pea-sized amount from the second to the sixth birthday. Individual fluoride intake should be taken into account.
