FAQ's
-
It's formulated specifically for pregnancy by practising dentists - not adapted from an existing adult product. It uses hydroxyapatite instead of fluoride, contains no artificial colours, flavours, or sugars, and is designed around the specific oral health changes that occur during pregnancy, including increased sensitivity and higher risk of gum inflammation.
-
Yes. The formula is fluoride-free, using hydroxyapatite as the active remineralising agent. It contains no ingredients contraindicated during pregnancy. As with any new product during pregnancy, if you have specific concerns consult your dentist or midwife.
-
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral that makes up approximately 97% of tooth enamel. It remineralises and strengthens enamel through the same mechanism your body uses naturally. It's gentle, safe during pregnancy, and supported by a growing body of peer-reviewed dental research as an effective alternative to fluoride.

Glycolipids are a plant-based, 100% natural foaming agent. We use them instead of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), a synthetic detergent found in most conventional toothpastes that can irritate mouth tissue and worsen sensitivity - something particularly relevant during pregnancy.
-
