Fluoride + hydroxyapatite toothpaste: what they do and why both matter.
The questions people search most before switching.
What's the difference between 1000ppm and 1450ppm fluoride?
1450ppm is the dose recommended from age 6 upwards. 1000ppm is the lower dose used in toothpaste for ages 3–6. GudYu's Remineralising & Whitening Tabs contain exactly 1450ppm in every tablet.
Can fluoride and hydroxyapatite be used together?
Yes — and they work better together. Fluoride hardens the outer enamel surface; hydroxyapatite, the mineral teeth are made from, helps rebuild enamel that's already worn. GudYu tabs combine both in every dose.
Do toothpaste tablets actually whiten teeth?
Yes. Calcium carbonate and hydrated silica gently polish away surface stains from coffee, tea and wine — no harsh bleaching agents, just consistent, visible brightening over time.
Simple as Chew. Brush. Spit.
Three simple steps to cleaner teeth, healthier habits, and plastic-free brushing every day.
Chew
Pop one tab in and chew for 3 seconds. It turns into a foamy paste, all on its own.
Brush
Brush for 2 minutes as usual. No extra water needed — just the tab and a toothbrush.
Spit
Spit it out. No rinsing needed, leaving the fluoride on keeps it working longer for protection.
The toothpaste tablet built to actually replace your tube.
Most "eco" toothpaste swaps ask you to give something up — less fluoride, less foam, less whitening. GudYu doesn't. Every tab carries the full 1450ppm fluoride dose dentists recommend from age 6, paired with hydroxyapatite to help rebuild enamel from the inside out. The only thing missing is the plastic tube.
- 1450ppm fluoride — the full dose, not a diluted "natural" version
- Hydroxyapatite remineralises enamel and helps reduce sensitivity
- Calcium carbonate and hydrated silica lift surface stains for a visibly whiter smile
- Fresh mint, zero mess — no spills, no half-empty tubes in the bin.
- One tab = the exact right amount, every time

What we left out — on purpose.
A good ingredient list is short. A better one is honest about what isn't there. These are the eight things you won't find in a GudYu tin — and the reasons why.
SLS
The harsh foaming agent in most supermarket toothpastes. We use gentle coconut-derived SCS instead.
Parabens
Artificial preservatives linked to hormone disruption. Not welcome here.
Gluten
Suitable for people with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity.
Palm Oil
No contribution to deforestation. Ever.
Artificial Flavours
The power-punching minty taste is natural aroma only — nothing synthetic.
Animal Testing
100% vegan and cruelty-free. Always has been, always will be.
Too Much Fluoride
Exactly 1450ppm — the right amount for ages 6+. No more, no less.

Every tube ever made is still on this planet. Ours aren't.
