I've been enjoying using this over the past 3 weeks.

This is nano-hydroxyapatite, meant to be more effective than hydroxyapatite alone.

Thank you for the mention of Boka. This sent me down a rabbit hole of research, both the positives compared to other toothpaste, like not containing SLS, parabens, or titanium dioxide, but also the findings of trace amounts of lead, arsenic, and mercury in it. The trace amounts are much lower than the standards considered okay by the FDA and the European regulators, but not EWG, which doesn't accept pretty much any trace amounts.

I decided to try it after all.

will you still absorb the trace amounts it if you are spitting it out and rinsing? I want to wean myself off fluoride toothpaste.

Are you supposed to spit it out and rinse or keep it on like Enamelon? A quick search says spit out but not rinse.
