Enamel is the outer protective layer of teeth, if it thins the tips of your teeth can become translucent / transparent, and white spots can develop on the tooth’s surface. In many cases translucent teeth can be repaired by a high performance enamel repair toothpaste which helps replace lost tooth minerals and thicken the enamel.
Translucent teeth can be an early sign there is something wrong . Five of the main causes of translucent teeth include:
- If present from time tooth erupts (is formed) : May be a genetic diseases such as enamel hypoplasia in which the enamel fails to form properly, leaving the tooth translucent.
- If starts happening after eruption ( after teeth are formed) : Transparent or translucent teeth can be an early sign of tooth decay / caries. Acids from the foods we eat or caused by bacteria feeding on sugars we eat demineralise/erode the enamel. As the enamel thins the tooth’s tip can become transparent, whilst on the tooth’s surface white spots can become visible. If left unchecked a cavity may form.
- Mouth breathing: people who breathe through their mouths at night have been shown to develop very high levels of acidity in the mouth that dissolves the enamel over time – see article
- Teeth whitening can damage the tooth’s enamel. Whitening treatments can cause enamel loss and the tooth to become transparent and white spots to develop.
- Vomiting / Reflux / Bulimia : as acid comes up from the stomach it can literally dissolves the tooth’s enamel.
Translucency / Transparency / White spots may be able to be reduced or repaired by replacing lost minerals. Remineralisation is the natural process of replacing minerals (enamel) onto the tooth’s surface, products such as BioMin have been shown to significantly increase the rate of remineralisation by supplying the essential building blocks of the enamel (bio-available calcium & phosphate) and with BioMin F, low dose slow release fluoride that acts as a catalyst to drive the remineralisation process whilst also acting to reduce demineralisation.
Remineralisation is a relatively slow process, though within a few months noticeable differences may be seen. It is also important to try and stop the cause of the enamel loss, this may be achieved by improved diet / a reduction is acidic foods and sugars, improved oral care, breathing through your nose vs mouth and not vomiting / controlling reflux (if possible)
Below are some customer reviews that relate to transparency / translucency and mineral loss. The ability to remineralise the tooth depends on many factors including the severity of the enamel loss. Eg: repeat vomiting has removed all enamel then remineralisation can not occur, (see your dentist – other procedures such as bonding or veneers may be required).
BioMin F provides our highest level of performance and in university testing has been shown to deliver market leading performance. As per above, try and remove the cause of the enamel loss, use BioMin F twice per day as per instructions.
Note everybody’s teeth are different as are the cause of the problem. If BioMin is unable to assist with your dental concern please see a dentist for advice.
Excellent Toothpaste
After using this toothpaste for a few months the difference in my teeth is noticeable. Fine lines are disappearing and my teeth are not as transparent and they are whiter! Bernadette
Less transparent in a few weeks
I’ve been using this amazing toothpaste for a few weeks and teeth are becoming whiter and less transparent. Thank you. Billie
This product has worked very well for me I advise anyone with enamel or decay issues to give it a go
I’ve had issues with decay, unexplainable acidity and enamel loss for a few years. I’ve tried many different dentists, toothpastes natural and chemical based. Also tried rinces, coconut oil and extra calcium in my diet with no fix. Until I found biomin on eBay. My problem isn’t cured but it has definitely helped with the amount of decay and discolouring and transparency of my teeth after using it day and night for about a month. Some of the decay has changed from dark orange to light yellow/white and gums look healthier also. It has helped with receding of my gums. . I’m planning on continued use of this product to see if it helps with more time. No dentist has been able to figure out why my teeth are wearing away so this has been a god send to help recover small amounts of damage! I’ve no side effects for using this product. Haley
A year and a half ago I had an in house teeth whitening treatment done at my dentist. It destroyed my enamel. Most of my teeth have a transparent look to them. I found this toothpaste after researching because tooth mouse wasn't having an effect. To begin with I didn't…
We have tried many toothpastes, mostly to help us keep our teeth clean and healthy. I've had sensitivity to cold water for a very long time, and this toothpaste appears to have reduced the sensation. Also of note, is the remineralisation. The reason I purchased this is because my wife…
I have been using for over 2 months now and yet to see the long term effects. My dentist thinks it is a high quality toothpaste and feel like it will be beneficial for my tooth decay. So far no side effects, the toothpaste seems to be very safe to…
My teeth were brittle and becoming nearly translucent at the front, after a week of this paste they have filled in (in terms of colour, they are a solid white again) and some of the small cracks and abrasions are now filled in as well. I love it, this product…
Best toothpaste I’ve used! Kids love it as well! Leaves our teeth feeling strong and fresh! We don’t have fluoride in our water so this toothpaste is perfect for us! KarlD
Found this in my search for a cheaper, Australian-made (Not made in Australia) remineralising toothpaste that's on par with Apagard; shipping Apagard in was just too expensive. $12.50/tube on their website. I'm so glad I found Biomin: great price and makes my teeth feel shiny. I use this as my…
I have only used one tube so far, too soon to see if its remineralised my teeth. My tooth surface is smother and I feel positive about future improvement. I have had no adverse side effects. The taste is nice. Nicky Sydney
i have been using this product for about 9 months now and have noticed that my teeth is no longer transparent and dull looking. i strongly believe with continued use, my teeth will eventually become stronger and remineralized. I also did have slight sensitivity before use but it is now…
With stained teeth and noticeable decay, I was becoming increasingly self-conscious about my smile. Gone were the days of flashing a bright, open and happy smile; instead, concern about what others would think if they saw my teeth plagued my thoughts. Enter BioMin F Armour for Teeth, backed by the…
Love this toothpaste. After noticing my teeth were looking a translucent and still yellow after using whitening toothpaste following a long sting with 'natural' toothpaste, I found Biomin F and have been using for a month. Already I have had comments that my teeth look whiter and I have noticed…
I have cavities & root canal done twice. I was not able to eat solid food like Indian roti paratha. Had to use semi liquid food. I tried many well known brand & different types of toothpastes. Came across this Biomin F on searching Google. Just as a trial ordered…
I've been using this toothpaste for 4 weeks now and have definitely noticed whiting of the teeth and sensitivity reduction. The toothpaste also has a nice taste. I bought the toothpaste mainly for its ability to remineralise and harden the enamel. The sensitivity reduction is a bonus.
I have really bad problems with enamel loss on my teeth which was starting to become really noticeable. I researched and discovered this toothpaste so thought I’d give it a try. It really does seem to help remineralise my teeth and leave them feeling more fortified and whiter too. I…
Recommended by my dentist as a step up from the mousse and it really works as advertised. Tooth sensitivity issues both hot and cold are a thing of the past. Also works as a spot de-sensitizer treatment should any issues pop up. Just wish the tubes were larger for the…
I had been using alternate brands of whitening toothpaste for years, and over time found my teeth becoming increasingly sensitive. Since using this product the sensitivity has stopped and my teeth are looking great! So happy with this product and fast delivery. I’m a long-time customer 🙂
I have been having multiple issues with my teeth for the past 10 months. I found this toothpaste after a remineralising treatment at my dentist. It is amazing. Tooth sensitivity has gone in two weeks.
I first ordered Biomin F because my front teeth we’re starting to look transparent towards the bottom. I also read it can help reduce white spots on teeth. Well it definitely didn’t disappoint! After using Biomin F I’ve noticed my teeth are not only whiter, no longer transparent or sensitive.…
Since using this toothpaste, I've noticed that my teeth are less transparent and also whiter. It has a great taste as well. I would definitely recommend this product and am about to reorder.
I started using biomin as I noticed the enamel was eroding on my front tooth as it was darker at the ends and was also experiencing sensitivity. I have definitely felt an improvement with my sensitivity issues and I am also starting to notice the dark patch lighting on my…
After trying other very expensive prescription options for my white spot demineralisation I have finally found a product that is effective, convenient and affordable. I have previously used varnishes and treatment trays both at home and in the dentist's office and this is my choice for results and convenience 10…
This has been a great cheaper alternative to Apagard. I have sensitive teeth and this offers sensitivity relief like Apagard but I bought it primarily for the remineralisation. This is obviously hard to verify but I trust it as much as I would trust Apagard so there is no loss.…
My three and a half year old son had terrible hypodemineralisation after being on many courses of antibiotics in his first two years of life. Within a month of using BioMinF, his teeth look amazing. He loves the mild minty taste. And the bonus is that BioMin is dairy free,…
This is the best remineralisation toothpaste I have ever used. I changed from Pronamel and my husband changed from Pro Sensitive. Neither of us have had sensitive teeth since. It tastes great a little like the GC Tooth Moose. Its very reasonably priced considering how good it is. This is…
I have been using Biomin F toothpaste for about nine months, on the recommendation of my dentist. He noticed that my teeth were suffering erosion, & informed me that using a remineralising toothpaste would help strengthen them, as well as offering ongoing protection. I believe he was right. Richard 2020
I have had braces for over a year now and I have struggled so much with plaque around the brackets. Since using this toothpaste I don't have any plaque! I will save so much money on teeth cleans being less frequent. It is also helping a calcification spot on my…
I’ve had Invisalign on my teeth for 2 years which has worn the enamel down and left my teeth dull, yellow and brittle.I wanted a remineralising toothpaste to strengthen them and found Biomin. I’ve only been using it for 3 weeks and can already see a slight difference in their…
I came across BioMin as I was looking for a remineralization toothpaste and I have been testing the first tube for about 8 weeks now. I immediately noticed the strengthening of my teeth after the first few brushes. I feel my teeth stronger after each brush.The sensitivity reduced drastically after…
I purchased 4 tubes & commenced using Biomin F in late December '19. Earlier last year I had, on the recommendation of my dentist, a limited treatment with Tooth Mousse. There appeared to be no noticeable improvement in the softening of the dentine in my teeth using that, though it…
This toothpaste was recommended to me by my dentist as a means to help fight my susceptibility to cavities through altering my teeth's mineralisation. So far I have been new cavity free since starting to use it. Maz 2020
I have been using "BioMinF" since 2016. The first time I ordered from UK and ever since buying locally in Australia. It has helped me with my enamel and the way my teeth feels is just beyond imagination. Thanks for bring out the Iphone of Toothpaste ! Love it to…
I have been using BioMinF for several months consistently, and on my last visit to the dentist I had no fillings/holes. I have not changed my oral hygiene practices or diet for the past few years, and on each dental visit I would have at least one cavity. The only…
I started using Biomin F as I saw signs of enamel loss in my teeth due to acidity. After using Biomin for a month, my teeth look whiter and feel stronger and less sensitive. Definitely going to order more! Kitty Kat 2019
After using this toothpaste for a few months the difference in my teeth is noticeable. Fine lines are disappearing and my teeth are not as transparent and they are whiter! BernadetteP 2019
For what it's worth, I wasn't expecting much from Biomin F when opening the product. I thought all the hype about the product was wrong. I figured this would be like the 8 other toothpaste products I've tried that have failed to treat my sensitive teeth. But to my suprise,…
I’ve been a dentist for 20 years and I’m happy to say I’ve found a product that my whole family is benefiting from using. With its ease of use, pleasant taste and incredible remineralisation ability it’s been nothing but positive. Emma 2019
It takes a bit to get used to not rinsing after brushing, but the results speak for themselves. This stuff actually works. It actually improves the mineralization in your teeth. Color, smoothness, sensitivity, all improved. Wish I had bought it sooner.John H 2019
My teeth are feeling stronger (I have severe enamel loss and breaking at tips of bottom front teeth). Brown patches appear to be shrinking (only on first tube so this is after only a couple of weeks). Side effect is I lathered it on like a paste and left it…
Within the first 2 weeks of using Biomin F, my young daughter's sensitivity of her hypo-mineralised teeth has dramatically reduced.The spearmint flavour is mild enough for young children and the instructions for use are easy to follow. The order arrived quickly and we're very happy with the product. Kat 2019
This toothpaste has proven to be effective with my dentist commenting that the areas I previously had to worry about not being such a concern anymore - all since changing to Biomin F. It is mild in taste so it is fine not to wash out. Love that it works…
My dentist is a big fan of remineralising paste so to have this combined into our daily tooth regime is a great plus. Easy to remember to use to add the extra protection to our teeth. Susan 2019
My teeth feel so much cleaner and look brighter. I would recommend this toothpaste to anyone with sensitivity and/or demineralisation . I have not experienced any side effects what so ever...A Great product !
My teeth feel more comfortable when using this toothpaste. My wife feels the same. We have used it for about 6 months now, and have decided it's the only toothpaste for us. I believe in its ability to remineralise teeth, and look forward to experiencing the results after using it…
I went to the dentist, and my latest x-rays showed my teeth had remineralised where there were possible concerns, which hasn't happened in years for me! Even the dentist was amazed.It's a subtle minty flavour and leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh.I have even got my partner on board…
Recommended by my Dentist. Biomin has helped to reduce sensitivity and strengthen tooth enamel from a few years worth of damage avoiding fluoride toothpaste. The whole family uses it. Three tubes lasted 9 months. Teeth are shiny, clean, and seem to be whiter. Would recommend this product for healthy teeth…
Found this toothpaste by chance on Reddit and began researching the main compounds in the Biomin technology. Bought a tube to give it a try and WOW! My teeth literally get squeaky clean! I used to use a name brand sensitivity toothpaste twice a day but no longer need too.…
I like the science behind this toothpaste. I'm lucky enough not to have had any cavities but the dentist had started to comment about shadows that were starting to look like the beginning of decay - since using BioMinF, I've been to the dentist twice with no comments or suggestions…
Does exactly what it promises - reverses early decay, remineralise and repair enamel, neutralise acids and strengthen teeth. Science-backed. Forget Colgate & other fancy brands - BioMinF is the real deal & worth every dollar. Karl 2018
Finally I found a toothpaste that works for all members of my family. All solutions in one tube: cleaner, stronger, healthier, remineralised, repaired, protected. I would definitely recommending BioMin Aksana 2018
We started using the Biomin toothpaste a few months ago as it was recommended to us for our two sons. Our eldest son who is 10 had reoccurring stains on his two front teeth that became very dark in between dentist visits. He was very self conscious and affected the…
