Using CHEWTAB toothpaste tablets
How do I use toothpaste tablets?
Gently bite the tablet, chew it to a fine consistency, then brush as you normally would. This method applies to all CHEWTAB varieties.
Do I need to wet the tablet first?
The supplied directions do not mention wetting the tablet. Follow the bite, chew, and brush steps as written.
How many tablets come in a container?
CHEWTAB Whitening and CHEWTAB with Nano Hydroxyapatite each contain 60 tablets. The Sensitive formula's count is not specified in the provided information.
Whitening, sensitive, or nano hydroxyapatite?
What is the difference between the three CHEWTAB formulas?
CHEWTAB Whitening uses baking soda to gently maintain a white smile and is SLS-free and fluoride-free. CHEWTAB for Sensitive Teeth adds L-arginine, which the manufacturer states halts plaque accumulation for up to 12 hours, allowing nano hydroxyapatite to re-mineralize more effectively. CHEWTAB with Nano Hydroxyapatite focuses on enamel repair and sensitivity reduction through nano hydroxyapatite, without L-arginine. All three are fluoride-free.
Which one should I choose for sensitive teeth?
CHEWTAB for Sensitive Teeth is formulated with L-arginine and nano hydroxyapatite specifically to address sensitivity. The manufacturer notes that within a few weeks you may notice less sensitivity as the tubules in your enamel are filled. If you prefer a simpler formula without L-arginine, the Nano Hydroxyapatite version also targets sensitivity over time.
Do these tablets really whiten teeth?
CHEWTAB Whitening relies on baking soda, which has an RDA of 7, to gently maintain your smile without damaging enamel. The Nano Hydroxyapatite formula naturally whitens as the particles on the surface get polished during brushing. Individual results vary, and no specific timeline is provided beyond the sensitive formula's 'within a few weeks' note.
Nano hydroxyapatite and fluoride questions
What is nano hydroxyapatite and how does it work?
Nano hydroxyapatite (NHAP) consists of nano-sized particles of hydroxyapatite, the building block of enamel. According to the manufacturer, these particles penetrate and seal dentin tubules, which can reduce sensitivity and, as the surface becomes smoother, help keep plaque from adhering. The result is stronger enamel and a whiter appearance.
Are these tablets fluoride-free?
Yes. All CHEWTAB varieties are fluoride-free. The Nano Hydroxyapatite formula is presented as a fluoride alternative.
Is nano hydroxyapatite safe?
The manufacturer describes nano hydroxyapatite as a safe fluoride alternative and cites studies showing it rebuilds enamel and bone. If you have specific health concerns, consult your dentist.
