Over time, and with poor dental care, tooth enamel begins to lose its minerals, which causes the enamel to soften and eventually decay. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pointedentalgroup.com\/general-dentistry.php\">restore the enamel on your teeth<\/a>, the doctors at Pointe Dental Group recommend the use of ACP toothpaste.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>How it works<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Amorphous calcium phosphate, ACP for short, is a product that aids in the remineralisation of the teeth, a process in which the teeth are restored with calcium and phosphate. ACP toothpaste is one of the easiest ways for patients to restore the lost minerals in their enamel. ACP toothpaste is safe to use as a replacement for regular toothpaste. When the minerals are restored in your enamel, the surface of your teeth will appear smoother and cleaner.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to mineral restoration, ACP toothpaste is also a great product to use after whitening your teeth. By immediately starting the remineralisation process post-whitening, you will extend the brightness of your freshly-whitened smile even longer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Where to get ACP Toothpaste<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>ACP toothpastes are available to the public, but can be tough to find in your regular grocery store. The only ACP toothpaste you will likely be able to find on the shelves today is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.armandhammer.com\/personal-care\/toothpaste\/Products\/arm-and-hammer-complete-care-enamel-strengthening.aspx\">Arm and Hammer\u2019s Complete Care Enamel Strengthening Toothpaste<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, ACP is also available in other dental products such as gels, varnishes, and mouthwashes. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rdhmag.com\/articles\/print\/volume-29\/issue-12\/feature\/remineralization-confusion-runs-rampant-in-my-mind-where-do-i-begin.html\">Registered Dental Hygienist Magazine<\/a>, \u201cPremier offers ACP in its Enamel Pro prophy paste with fluoride, Enamel Pro Sodium Fluoride Varnish, and Enamel Pro 1.23% Non\u2013Acidulated Fluoride Gel.
