Happy Tooth Mineral Mouthwash with Hydroxyapatite – Fresh Mint

This fluoride-free, mineral-based mouthwash uses micro-hydroxyapatite—the same mineral your enamel is naturally made of—to help support enamel strength, freshen breath, and maintain a balanced oral environment. The formula is alcohol-free, gentle, and intentionally simple, making it a good everyday option for those avoiding harsher conventional rinses.

Ingredients

Deionized Water; Glycerin; Xylitol (birch-derived); Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda); Mint Oils (Spearmint, Peppermint); Micro-Hydroxyapatite; Calcium Carbonate.

What I Like

I like that this formula centers around micro-hydroxyapatite, which mirrors the mineral structure of tooth enamel and is commonly chosen to support remineralization and reduce sensitivity—without fluoride.

It’s alcohol-free and gentle, which helps support the mouth’s natural microbiome rather than stripping it.

Birch-derived xylitol supports oral pH balance and helps discourage plaque-forming bacteria without artificial sweeteners.

Baking soda adds simple, effective pH support to help neutralize acids.

EWG rating (EWG analyzer): 2.

Things to Keep in Mind

Because this is a mineral-based rinse, the liquid may appear slightly cloudy or separate. This is normal—shake well before use.

Flavor comes from mint oils rather than synthetic flavoring. While generally well tolerated, the mint can feel noticeable for those sensitive to strong flavors.

Sensitive Mouth & Pregnancy Considerations

This mouthwash contains mint essential oils (peppermint and spearmint). If you have a very sensitive mouth, starting with a smaller amount or using once daily can help assess comfort.

Essential oil transparency: essential oils can carry trace contaminants depending on sourcing and processing. I prioritize brands that use certifications and testing to assure the lowest possible contaminant levels, knowing that all essential oils contain trace compounds to some degree.

Micro-hydroxyapatite is different from fluoride and is commonly chosen during pregnancy and breastfeeding by those seeking mineral-based oral care. Personal comfort and tolerance should always guide use.
