Fluoride Alternatives for Cavity Prevention That Work — From the Inside Out

Protecting your child’s teeth isn’t about fluoride — it’s about giving their body the right minerals, nutrition, and a plan that works naturally.

That’s why we created the Total Care Kids Remineralization Protocol: a complete cavity-prevention system developed by our founder, holistic dentist Dr. Michelle Jorgensen.

Using hydroxyapatite (the same mineral that makes up your child’s enamel), this protocol helps strengthen teeth naturally — both in the dental chair and at home.

From gentle cleanings to supportive nutrition and remineralization treatments, we help your child rebuild and protect their smile in the healthiest way possible.

Hydroxyapatite: A Natural, Fluoride-Free Way to Strengthen Teeth

Looking for a safe, effective alternative to fluoride? We use hydroxyapatite—a natural mineral that makes up 97% of your child’s tooth enamel.

It works much like fluoride, but without synthetic additives. Instead of coating the teeth, it helps rebuild and strengthen enamel the way nature intended.

Why we love hydroxyapatite:

  • Naturally found in teeth and bones

  • Supports remineralization without harsh chemicals

  • Safe, non-toxic, and kid-friendly

  • Backed by science and trusted by holistic dentists

It’s the foundation of our fluoride-free cavity prevention—and it’s in everything we use, from varnishes to toothpaste.

The Total Care Kids Remineralization Protocol

Our remineralization program isn’t just one product—it’s a complete system designed to strengthen and protect your child’s teeth from the inside out.

We combine safe, in-office treatments with a personalized at-home plan:

In the chair:

  • Gentle cleanings using Dr. Michelle’s hydroxyapatite tooth powder

  • A biocompatible hydroxyapatite varnish to support enamel health after each visit

At home:

  • Daily brushing with remineralizing tooth powder or toothpaste

  • A natural mouthwash that delivers minerals directly to the enamel

  • Targeted supplements (chewables + liquid Vitamin D/K) to support mineral absorption and tooth development

  • Nutrition guidance from our team to support strong enamel and fewer cavities

It’s simple, natural, and customized for your child’s needs—so you can feel confident in every step of their dental routine.

Real Prevention. Real Peace of Mind.

No parent wants to see their child struggle with cavities — or be pushed into treatments that don’t feel right. Our remineralization protocol offers a better way: gentle, natural, and designed to support your child’s whole-body wellness with safe alternatives to fluoride.

With consistent care, parents often notice:

  • Fewer cavities and stronger enamel

  • Better habits and more confident brushing

  • A greater sense of control and clarity around their child’s oral health

Created by Dr. Michelle and trusted by families across Utah, this protocol is more than just prevention—it’s peace of mind.
