Whether you have a child with cavities you want to remineralize or you are simply looking for a better, healthier, fluoride-free kids toothpaste, you have come to the right place! I have the best hydroxyapatite kids toothpaste options right here. I’ll lay out the pros, the cons and the differences of each option so that you can make an informed choice for your child’s – and family’s – oral health.
I have tried all of the toothpastes/powders in this post on myself and my daughter at least one time and some for several weeks or months. As I am able to try more hydroxyapatite toothpastes, I will continue to update this list.

Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste Options for Kids
Safety of Ingredients
Ingredient Lists
You will find the ingredients of each hydroxyapatite toothpaste listed in the tables within this post. However, to give you a full picture of which toothpastes have the safest ingredients, I created a separate document available to download for free. The document includes the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) safety ratings for each of the ingredients contained in all of the toothpastes reviewed in this post.
My goal in creating the document was to make it easy for you to compare the safety of different toothpastes without having to do endless searches on numerous ingredients. I have taken the time and work out of the equation for you so that all you have to do is read the safety-rated color-coded ingredients to get a better idea of which toothpaste is the best option for your child.
To get the document for free, enter your email address at the bottom of this post and you will be sent a link to access it – no strings attached.
Nano vs. Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite
Within the ingredient lists, you may be specifically looking for nano-hydroxyapatite, or, conversely, you may be specifically wanting to avoid it and stick with the microcrystalline hydroxyapatite. You will find that differentiation noted on each toothpaste review in this post.
If you are not sure of the difference between microcrystalline hydroxyapatite and nano-hydroxyapatite or if you are unaware of the controversy surrounding nano-hydroxyapatite, read my article looking at the research on nano-hydroxyapatite here.
Safety of Swallowing
One of the biggest things parents of young children want to know about kids toothpaste is whether it is safe to swallow. Since very young children usually cannot spit out toothpaste, this is an important consideration.
As of the original writing of this post, most of these options are considered safe for use with young children such as toddlers. However, I have specifically noted in each hydroxyapatite kids toothpaste review what the respective company websites have to say on this topic and/or what I have been told by the companies through email correspondence.
This way, you can easily and quickly see how each toothpaste option compares in the “safe-to-swallow” category. And speaking of categories, I have laid those out for you below.
Toothpaste Categories
Depending on what your priorities are when searching for a hydroxyapatite kids toothpaste, you will be drawn to different brands. While many of these brands are excellent options, some may be more desirable to different children or parents than others for various reasons in addition to the safety of ingredients (taste, availability internationally, etc.).
To make it a little easier for you to find the toothpastes which meet your family’s particular needs, I have categorized them in the table below.
| Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste/Tooth Powder Categories |
|---|
| Toothpastes/Powders Using Only Micro-Hydroxyapatite (non-nano) |
| Happy by Longevity Science Wonder Oral Wellness Wellnesse Risewell |
| Toothpastes/Powders Using Nano-Hydroxyapatite |

Review of Each Toothpaste/Powder
Boka Toothpaste
I have only tried Boka toothpaste one time on myself and one time on my daughter when we were visiting my sister who uses it for one of her kids. However, there are many people in my Facebook support group for parents of young children with tooth decay who use it with their kids and like it.
Something that was mentioned by one of the Facebook group members about Boka, however, is that it caused sores in her mouth. She mentioned that this was the case for other people as well. When I did a search of some Boka reviews, I did find a couple of reviews stating the same problem.
However, there are many people who love Boka and do not have this issue.
Ingredients
Boka uses nano-hydroxyapatite in it’s toothpaste, which means the size of the particles is much smaller than the microcrystalline hydroxyapatite. In an email response from Boka, I have been informed that Boka toothpaste ” … has a safe level of nHA [nano-hydroxyapatite] …” which is “… the perfect concentration to ensure safety while delivering the maximum benefits …”
Boka also responded that the nano-hydroxyapatite particles are rod-shaped. This is in line with the conclusions of safety regulations in the European Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety’s (SCCS) analysis of what shape nano-hydroxyapatite particles should be. You can read the SCCS’s findings and my article on nano-hydroxyapatite safety for more details on that.
Something I am not terribly excited about is the fact that Boka’s ingredients list is the longest of all the toothpastes I have tried. It also contains the most ingredients that are lower on the EWG’s safety scale. However, a positive is that Boka states on the FAQ section of their orange cream toothpaste that there are no artificial or synthetic flavorings in their toothpaste.
The FAQ section of the orange cream flavor also states that it is safe to swallow. And Boka states here that their toothpaste is safe for any age.

Taste & Texture
This toothpaste had a gel-like consistency to it. It was not at all grainy.
We tried the Ela Mint flavor which had a pretty mild mint flavor. My picky daughter did not like the taste, which is pretty predictable for her. In addition to her pickiness, she does not normally like mint-flavored things. However, I thought the flavor was good, albeit subtle.
Effectiveness
I am personally not the biggest fan of gel-consistency toothpastes because I don’t feel like they clean my teeth as well. But since I only tried this toothpaste one time, I cannot give a solid answer on how well it cleans or desensitizes teeth.
For the one time I used it, it seemed to do a decent job of cleaning. And I have been told by a member of my Facebook group that it also helps sensitivity.
Shipping
Boka currently only ships within the U.S.
Pros
- Uses nano-hydroxyapatite within the SCCS’s guidelines
- Helps with sensitivity
- Safe for kids, orange cream flavor is safe to swallow
Cons
- Some people experience mouth sores
- Longer, somewhat less safe ingredient list
- Not available to ship outside U.S.
CariFree Fluoride-Free Gel Toothpaste
We used CariFree fluoride-free gel (previously called CTX-3 Gel) at the recommendation of my daughter’s biological dentist at the beginning of her tooth decay journey. Although we had already begun using the Happy toothpaste and were loving it, I began using the CariFree once a day simply because it was dentist-recommended.
However, after a few months of using both toothpastes, I ended up switching completely to Happy simply because I preferred it. But we did not have any negative issues with CariFree and it is recommended by dentists as being a good hydroxyapatite toothpaste.
Ingredients
CariFree uses nano-hydroxyapatite in its tooth gel. I was pleasantly surprised to see on the CariFree website that it uses the FLUIDINOVA brand of nano-hydroxyapatite, which is the SCCS’s approved brand.
CariFree also states under the “Details” section of it’s fluoride-free gel that it is safe for kids and safe to swallow.
| Fluoride-Free Grape Gel |
|---|
| Water |
| Xylitol |
| Glycerin |
| Hydrogenated Starch Hydrolysate |
| Hydroxyethyl Cellulose |
| Potassium Sorbate |
| Artificial Flavor |
| Hydroxyapatite |
| Sodium Benzoate |
| Poloxamer 407 |
| Sodium Bicarbonate |
| Sodium Hydroxide |
Taste & Texture
This toothpaste is also a gel consistency, which, as I already mentioned, is not my personal favorite. Perhaps that is why I liked Happy better. However, as far as gel toothpastes go, the texture was pleasant and as-expected.
We used the grape flavor of CariFree and I thought the taste was pretty good. It was a mild flavor and my daughter did well with the taste at the time (back before she had developed any particular taste for a specific toothpaste). There is also a mint flavor as well.
Effectiveness
Being that this is a gel toothpaste, I did not feel like it cleaned my teeth as well as tooth-paste or tooth powder. So personally, I cannot say it is my favorite for getting my teeth feeling clean. However, this does not mean that it is not effective.
Shipping
The CariFree website states in the FAQ section that they can provide shipping quotes for international orders. They do also have a distributor in Canada, however, the distributor does not appear to carry any of the fluoride-free options.
Pros
- Uses SCCS’s approved brand of nano-hydroxyapatite
- Can ship outside the U.S.
- Safe for kids, safe to swallow
Cons
- Gel-consistency – doesn’t feel as effective as a paste or powder
- Non-fluoridated versions might be harder to get outside U.S.
Dr. Jen Toothpaste
Dr. Jen is a toothpaste brand I was not familiar with until I stumbled upon it in preparation for this blog post. But I have to say that I have been surprised and impressed with Dr. Jen in several ways, which I will get into in the sections below.
Dr. Jen was kind enough to send me free samples to be able to provide the most accurate description of the toothpaste.
I have also been told by the company that new customers can get $10 off of their first order through the Dr. Jen website by using the discount code OFF10.
Ingredients
Dr. Jen toothpaste contains nano-hydroxyapatite that is in line with the SCCS-approved particle shape and concentration. I personally found it encouraging that they clearly stated this on their website, because it tells me that they care about keeping their product safe and being transparent about their safety standards.
Dr. Jen does state on the website not to swallow the toothpaste. It advises spitting after each use. When I emailed the company about this, they responded that this is meant as a reminder to supervise young children while brushing since they do not recommend eating the toothpaste. However, they also said it is safe to use a rice-sized amount of fluoride-free toothpaste with small children.
| Fluoride-Free Kids Strawberry Toothpaste |
|---|
| Aqua |
| Glycerin |
| Silica |
| Xylitol |
| Nano-Hydroxyapatite |
| Natural Flavor |
| Xanthan Gum |
| Citric Acid |
| Calendula Extract |
Taste & Texture
Dr. Jen gets the overall win for taste because it has the most powerful punch of flavor of all the hydroxyapatite toothpastes I’ve tried. But even more importantly, my daughter said the kids strawberry flavor that she tried tasted good. And, while she still was not interested in using it more than once, her admission that it tasted good is pretty high praise.
I also received the mint flavor of toothpaste in addition to the kids strawberry in my free sample which my husband loves. Again, this is high praise because his biggest hesitancy for switching to a more natural toothpaste is the absence of that fresh-breath feeling he gets when he uses “regular” toothpaste.
With Dr. Jen’s strong mint flavor, you would not know this is any different than a store-bought toothpaste. And while the intense minty flavor may not be palatable for a lot of kids, it is a great option for adults who need a remineralizing toothpaste but also want that store-bought, fresh-breath feeling after brushing.
Effectiveness
In my experience, this toothpaste is pretty effective at cleaning teeth as well as keeping sensitivity at bay.
Shipping
Dr. Jen does not currently ship outside the U.S.
Pros
- Uses nano-hydroxyapatite in line with SCCS’s guidelines
- Very kid-friendly taste
- Effective for cleaning and desensitizing teeth
- Safe in appropriate amounts for small children
Cons
- Does not ship outside the U.S.
Happy Toothpaste by Longevity Science
If you have read any of my other posts on childhood tooth decay, you have heard me talk about this one. Happy toothpaste and I go all the way back to when my daughter’s tooth decay journey first began over 4 years ago.
When I received the first tube, I was optimistic that this toothpaste might be able to help heal my daughter’s teeth. And it did not disappoint! We have been loyal customers ever since.
Besides the toothpaste itself, I love Happy’s customer service. The original creator of the toothpaste, Tom Carbone, was so kind, helpful and responsive. When he sold the company in the fall of 2023, I was worried about what would happen to this important staple in my daughter’s oral care.
But I had no need for worry as the customer service with the new company, Longevity Science, has been just as personable and wonderful. And the original toothpaste formulation has remained the same, although there are now also some additional options available.
Ingredients
Happy uses micro-hydroxyapatite sourced from New Zealand Cows. This toothpaste is not made with the controversial nano-hydroxyapatite. It only uses microcrystalline hydroxyapatite.
The original erythritol toothpaste does not contain xylitol. However, Longevity Science recently released a new toothpaste that is made with xylitol instead of erythritol.
Below, I have listed the ingredients of three of their toothpastes: Unflavored erythritol, cinnamon flavored erythritol and orange cream flavored xylitol. However, they have several more flavor options in the erythritol toothpaste (including cotton candy, peppermint, spearmint and strawberry) and they are working on creating more flavors of the xylitol toothpaste.
On the website (Natural Tooth Health is the original website where you will find Happy Toothpaste), there is a statement that the unflavored erythritol toothpaste is EWG certified. This is great news when it comes to ingredient safety.
I was also told by Tom Carbone that the toothpaste is safe for kids and safe to swallow.

Taste & Texture
The consistency of Happy toothpaste is that of a thin paste. My daughter and I both put the toothpaste directly on the toothbrush without wetting the toothbrush first and the consistency is just right this way.
I initially bought the cinnamon flavored toothpaste because I figured it was the best option for appealing to my then-toddler’s taste-buds. The cinnamon went over well so I stuck with it.
The cinnamon flavor is fairly mild and pleasant. I feel it would be easy for most kids to adapt to unless they specifically do not like cinnamon.
I have also recently tried the new orange cream flavored xylitol toothpaste and that also has very good, mild flavor. My daughter, in typical fashion, does not like this flavor.
Effectiveness
This toothpaste is very effective at both cleaning teeth and reducing sensitivity.
Shipping
Happy does ship to Canada and the UK. Orders arriving in the UK can then ship to other countries in Europe as well. If you would like to place an order from outside the U.S., you can email them at Ask@NaturalToothHealth.com to get specific pricing.
Pros
- Only uses microcrystalline hydroxyapatite
- Cleans and desensitizes teeth effectively
- Ships outside U.S.
- Unflavored erythritol toothpaste is EWG certified
- Safe for kids, safe to swallow
Cons
- Consistency is a little runny
- Cinnamon flavor can cause slight skin irritation outside of the mouth when it drips
Risewell Toothpaste
Risewell is a very popular brand of hydroxyapatite kids toothpaste right now. I’ve seen this name pop up more than any others among parents searching for and trying hydroxyapatite toothpastes for their children.
I was only able to try this toothpaste one time on my daughter and myself. Once again, compliments of my sister who uses Risewell for a couple of her kids. I found it to be similar to Happy in appearance and taste.
Ingredients
Risewell Kids PRO Mineral toothpaste contains nano-hydroxyapatite. In an email response, Risewell informed me that the nano-hydroxyapatite it uses is FLUIDINOVA brand, which, again, is the SCCS-approved brand.
But if you want to try Risewell and do not want nano-hydroxyapatite, there is still an option for you. Risewell’s regular kids mineral toothpaste contains only microcrystalline hydroxyapatite. I have listed the ingredients in both options below.
Risewell’s website also states that their kids toothpaste is safe to swallow.
| Cake Batter Kids Mineral Toothpaste |
|---|
| Silica |
| Sorbitol |
| Glycerin |
| Xylitol |
| Hydroxyapatite |
| Calcium Carbonate |
| Propanediol |
| Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract |
| Potassium Cocoate |
| Stevia Rebaudiana Extract |
| Erythritol |
| Cellulose Gum |
| Sodium Gluconate |
| Xanthan Gum |

| Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract |
| Potassium Cocoate |
| Stevia Rebaudiana Extract |
| Xanthan Gum |
| Cellulose Gum |
| Erythritol |
| Sodium Gluconate |
Taste & Texture
While my daughter did not like this toothpaste (thanks again to her severely picky preferences), I thought it tasted very similar to Happy toothpaste. Risewell’s kids toothpaste is a Vanilla Cupcake flavor, but the base taste of it was very similar to Happy.
I felt it had a slight aftertaste that I did not love, but it was minimal. The aftertaste is the same as what I have experienced after eating foods containing stevia, and this does contain stevia. However, some of the other toothpastes I have tried that contain stevia did not leave the same aftertaste.
But, like I said, the aftertaste was very minimal and certainly not a deal-breaker. And I have not heard this complaint from any of the other parents who have used Risewell with their kids.
Effectiveness
In my very limited experience with it, it seemed to clean my teeth well. I cannot say personally how well it helps sensitivity since I obviously could not use it long enough to find out. However, I have been told by a member of my Facebook support group that Risewell has helped her own sensitivity.
Shipping
Risewell’s FAQ page states that it ships to all 50 states plus territories as well as Canada. I also found Risewell available in the UK from Supplement Hub.
Pros
- Nano and microcrystalline hydroxyapatite options available
- Nano hydroxyapatite is SCCS-approved brand
- Many kids enjoy the taste
- Available outside U.S.
- Safe for kids, safe to swallow
Cons
- Slight aftertaste
- Only one flavor available for kids
Wellnesse Toothpaste
Wellnesse is another popular hydroxyapatite kids toothpaste option. I have seen this name going around my Facebook support group a fair amount as well. Wellnesse was kind enough to send me a free sample in order to provide the most accurate description of their toothpaste.
Wellnesse was created by the founder of the Wellness Mama blog, Katie. She created the toothpaste after struggling with her own sickness which was worsened by the harmful chemicals in personal care products. She went back to school to become a nutritionist and now creates oral care products that nourish the body.
Ingredients
Wellnesse kids toothpaste contains micro hydroxyapatite (non-nano) naturally derived from calcium carbonate mineral deposits harvested in France.
The website also states that Wellnesse toothpaste is safe for all ages.
| Children’s Strawberry Toothpaste |
|---|
| Sorbitol |
| Calcium Carbonate |
| Purified Water |
| Xylitol |
| Silica |
| Hydroxyapatite |
| Natural Strawberry Flavor |
| Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate |
| Sodium Bicarbonate |
| Xanthan Gum |
| Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract |
| Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf Extract |
Taste & Texture
Wellnesse comes in second place for kid-friendly taste and texture because my daughter was willing to try it more than once – even thought she claimed she did not really like it. It also comes in second because of how kid-friendly the flavor tasted to me.
The strawberry flavor of this toothpaste reminded me of candy. It most definitely screamed “For kids!” at me whenever I brushed with it. While many natural brands of kids toothpaste have a subtle flavor, this strawberry flavor is bright, perky and impossible to glaze over.
I read a review that said this is a great option when trying to switch from a regular toothpaste to a more natural, hydroxyapatite toothpaste. And I completely agree with that. It has a bit of foam to it when you brush, so it feels a little sudsy, similar to typical store-bought toothpaste. The consistency of it is also closer than other natural toothpastes to traditional toothpaste.
After my daughter put some on her toothbrush the first couple of times, she told me excitedly, “Look, Mommy, it looks just like the toothpaste in the shows!” My daughter is not familiar with store-bought toothpaste. So to her, this is just something she’s seen on TV – which I find a bit comical.
Effectiveness
Wellnesse cleans my teeth effectively and it also seems to prevent sensitivity.
Shipping
Through email correspondence with Wellnesse, I have been informed that they ship to Canada, Europe and Australia from the U.S. with shipping and customs fees calculated at the checkout.
Even better, Wellnesse toothpaste can be purchased directly from a Canadian wholesaler called Pink Huny. Likewise, those in the UK can order Wellnesse toothpaste directly from Healf.
Pros
- Uses microcrystalline hydroxyapatite
- kid-friendly taste and texture for transitioning to natural toothpaste
- Effectively cleans and desensitizes teeth
- Available to ship outside U.S.
- Biodegradable/recyclable toothpaste tubes
- Safe for all ages
Cons
- Slightly sticky texture compared with other toothpastes
- Only one flavor of kids toothpaste
Wonder Oral Wellness Tooth Powder
Wonder Oral Wellness is another brand I discovered in preparation for this post. And I have been impressed with Wonder as a brand as well as with the tooth powder itself.
Wonder was kind enough to send me a free sample of their kids strawberry flavored tooth powder. And I have to be honest, I am hooked on it now as much as the Happy toothpaste we’ve been using for years!
The owner, Jenn Rankin, recently took over the company after being a loyal customer for many years and seeing the remineralizing results of the tooth powder in herself and in her children. During a Zoom call, she told me about a couple of her kids’ teeth developing cavities that were remineralized (in other words, healed!) once they started using the Wonder tooth powder.
If you want to try this tooth powder, you can use my exclusive discount code MamaRissa to get 10% off of your order.
Ingredients
I really love that the website says that Wonder uses certified organic ingredients whenever possible. Wonder also only uses microcrystalline hydroxyapatite sourced from grass-fed cows in Australia.
The website states that the tooth powder is recommended for children ages two and up. However, in an email, Wonder assured me that everything used in their tooth powders is the cleanest and safest form of food-safe ingredients. The age recommendation is basically for liability purposes, so use your own discretion and consult a dentist if you have any concerns.
| Kids Strawberry Tooth Powder |
| Bentonite Clay |
| Organic Xylitol |
| Organic Strawberry Powder |
| Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite |
| Baking Soda |
| Calcium Carbonate |
| Organic Cinnamon |
| Orange Essential Oil |
Taste & Texture
I was provided with the strawberry flavored kids tooth powder. As with almost every toothpaste we have tried, my 6-year-old daughter did not like the taste, but my toddler and I both like it.
I like to use Wonder’s tooth powder for my toddler because it is less messy. When I brush her teeth with a toothpaste, it tends to drip all over her chin and shirt while I’m brushing. But with this tooth powder, there is no liquid to start with, so I don’t have to worry about making a mess of her shirt.
Effectiveness
The Wonder tooth powder has been very effective at cleaning and desensitizing my teeth. I personally feel like this tooth powder cleans my teeth better than most toothpastes.
Shipping
Wonder does not currently ship to Canada or Europe.
Pros
- Uses microcrystalline hydroxyapatite
- Very effective at cleaning and desensitizing teeth
- Less messy than toothpaste
- Longer shelf life than toothpaste
- Contains organic ingredients
- Eco-friendly, biodegradable, recycled material in all products and packaging
- Uses the cleanest, food-safe ingredients
Cons
- Does not ship outside U.S.
- Slight collagen taste
My Personal Favorites
There are many great hydroxyapatite toothpaste options in this list. Most likely, you will be drawn to certain options not because they are better than the others but because something about them meets your family’s needs better.
I did my best to be objective when reviewing each toothpaste. But I have to admit that I am biased toward Happy toothpaste and Wonder Oral Health tooth powder because I love using these for my own family. I have had exceptional experiences with both companies and their products, so naturally, I recommend them to everyone.
But I want you to be able to find the toothpaste that will be the best for your children and your family. So I hope that this list has helped you. And if it has, please share it via the social share buttons below.
