Question 1

Has Enamelon been approved by the American Dental Association?       Where is Enamelon made?

Accepted Answer

Enamelon is made in the US.  It does not have an approval by the ADA as this requires a substantial fee; however, it is approved by the FDA.I hope this helps.

Question 2

Does it stain your teeth?

Accepted Answer

Not at all.  I have been using Enamelon since Sept, 2014, and teeth are quite white.

Question 3

Other than price, what's the difference in the product's Part #, ie., Part # 9007270 vs Part # 9007280?

Accepted Answer

They appear almost the same (the red one has 0.4% SnF instead of 0.45).   Some "treatment gels" are much higher fluoride, and perhaps should be used only on advice of a dentist.  This appears *not* to be the case here.  It may come down to a preference of paste vs. gel, which is often just appearance (both use silicas as thickeners/abrasiv but with different refractive indices (?); that and whether titanium dioxide is added, make product ~clear or opaque.

Question 4

Is this the same enamelon that was on the market a few years back?

Accepted Answer

This is not the same toothpaste that was sold in stores years ago, they just use the name and the idea of providing extra calcium for the fluoride to combine with. That toothpaste, from about 15 years ago I'm estimating, went out of business after a year and a half or so, but was the best toothpaste I ever used. I liked the texture, I liked the taste, and it seemed to really be cleaning and strengthening my teeth. I called the company to ask why they were going out of business and they said people didn't like the flavor, although I thought it was the best flavor. It was not mint flavor but I believe this new one is a mint flavor, although I haven't tried it. I don't like strong minty flavors; they irritate my gums. The original EnamelOn tube was made with 2 separate inner chambers, one filled with a gel or paste that contained the fluoride and the other filled with a gel or paste that contained the calcium, the idea being that the two combined in your mouth and not in the tube. Since that product was discontinued, I've been using Close-Up--the flavor is cinnamon, not mint. It was the first gel ever put on the market, although it's no longer carried by my supermarket or the drugstores--I have to buy it at dollar stores or through Amazon, although the dollar store version I found was a different version, a so-called "Whitening" gel, which had a duller flavor, not the "Refreshing" gel I was used to, which is what I get from Amazon now.
