National Hydroxyapatite Day
Hydroxyapatite is a mineral that makes up most of our bones and teeth. It gives them strength and structure. In toothpaste, hydroxyapatite helps repair enamel and reduce sensitivity.
Dentists also use it in fillings and to coat implants, helping them bond better with bone. Its natural presence in the body makes it a safe and effective material for dental and medical applications.
National Hydroxyapatite Day celebrates this mineral’s role in health and medicine. It highlights how hydroxyapatite supports bone healing and dental care.
By recognizing its benefits, the day brings attention to its importance in modern treatments. This observance encourages awareness of how a naturally occurring substance contributes to our well-being.

History of National Hydroxyapatite Day
National Hydroxyapatite Day began in May 2021. It was created by RiseWell, a company that makes fluoride-free toothpaste. The founders wanted more people to learn about hydroxyapatite, a mineral already found in bones and teeth.
They believed it deserved attention for its role in supporting oral health in a safer, natural way. By giving it a dedicated day, they helped bring this lesser-known ingredient into the spotlight.
Hydroxyapatite works by strengthening enamel and filling in tiny surface gaps. It protects without using fluoride, which some people try to avoid. As more research supported its benefits, interest in it grew.
RiseWell saw a chance to educate the public and change how people think about dental care. Their efforts were meant to promote both awareness and better product choices.
This day isn’t just for scientists or dentists. It’s for anyone who wants to understand what’s in their toothpaste and how it works.
People are encouraged to explore new options, ask questions, and take part in a growing shift toward safe and effective oral care. National Hydroxyapatite Day reminds us that even a single mineral can make a big difference in everyday routines.
