We know,
you got
some questions!
Let's have them all cleared.
We understand, Solid toothpaste tablets may seem like a very new concept to most and we have been asked about them multiple times everywhere we go - How does this work? How do I use them? Why do I need to switch from current toothpaste?
We have made a basic collection of all the questions we get asked that would make you feel at home even before you start your routine with Moonshots. We have got you covered with everything you might be curious about.
You can always reach out to us incase you still have questions that you want answers for.
Moonshots is a waterless solid toothpaste made with Nano Hydroxyapatite, Xylitol and Oral Probiotics. Unlike conventional toothpaste, it contains no unnecessary water, allowing us to avoid ingredients like preservatives, emulsifiers and stabilizers while focusing on active ingredients that strengthens enamel, reduces sensitivity, improves mouth odor and promotes gum health.
Place one Moonshot in your mouth, bite it a few times (preferably with your front teeth) until it forms a creamy paste, then brush with a wet toothbrush for about two minutes before rinsing.
Moonshots contains 5% nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp), a biomimetic mineral designed to support enamel care, strengthen teeth, and help reduce sensitivity.
Yes. Each Moonshot is pre-portioned to provide the recommended amount for one brushing session.
Yes. Cleaning effectiveness depends on the ingredients and brushing technique, not whether the toothpaste is solid or paste. Moonshots combines proven oral care ingredients in a convenient solid format.
If you're looking for advanced oral care with ingredients like Nano Hydroxyapatite, Xylitol and Oral Probiotics while avoiding unnecessary additives, Moonshots offers a modern alternative to traditional toothpaste.
Traditional toothpaste often contains water, which requires preservatives, stabilizers, emulsifiers and humectants to keep the product stable. Moonshots removes the water and focuses on the active ingredients your teeth actually need.
Yes. Moonshots uses a coconut-derived foaming ingredient that creates a pleasant foam without relying on harsh sulfates like SLS/SLES.
Yes, children above age of 6 years can use Moonshots under adult supervision.
Moonshots is intended for brushing and rinsing. While the ingredients are safe & selected carefully, it is not meant to be consumed as food. We do not recommend swallowing them.
Yes. Moonshots formulations have been tested in NABL-accredited laboratories for safety, stability and quality.
A: Yes, Moonshots solid toothpaste tablets are carefully formulated without harsh chemicals such as preservatives, emulsifiers, or stabilizers. Moonshots are powered with Nano Hydroxyapatite (nHAp) and a probiotic formula, focusing on delivering effective oral care using clean, safe ingredients. This ensures a natural, gentle approach to preventing oral issues while maintaining the product’s quality and freshness.
Yes, all Moonshots solid toothpaste tablets are fluoride-free. You can read more about why here. Instead, we use nHAp, a non-toxic (when swallowed) alternative that has been shown to be just as effective in helping remineralize and protect your teeth from caries.
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the primary substance our teeth are made of – it composes around 97% of tooth enamel and 70% of dentin. In the 1970s, NASA developed nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp), an alternative to fluoride, to counteract bone and tooth loss in astronauts after long-term space missions. As Nano Hydroxyapatite is a biomimetic mineral that closely resembles the natural mineral found in tooth enamel, It helps remineralize enamel, reduce sensitivity and repair microscopic enamel defects.
Sugary and acidic foods create acid in the mouth that slowly dissolves essential minerals from enamel – a process called demineralization. nHAp helps reverse this process by replenishing lost minerals, filling micro-fissures in the enamel and restoring its structure.
FluorideFluoride works by attracting calcium and phosphate ions from saliva to the tooth surface, creating a fluoride-rich layer that helps protect enamel. While effective, fluoride is not bioidentical to enamel – and excessive fluoride exposure can lead to:Dental fluorosis (permanent white spots)Stomach issues in childrenToxicity when swallowed in high amountsPotential effects on cognitive development
HydroxyapatiteHydroxyapatite is bioidentical – it’s what our teeth are made of. It doesn’t just coat the surface; it restores what's missing. And unlike fluoride, it's non-toxic and safe to swallow, even for children.A recent systematic review published in Frontiers in Public Health (2023) concluded that fluoride-free hydroxyapatite toothpaste provides comparable caries prevention to fluoride products in adults.In Japan, hydroxyapatite-based toothpaste has been used for over 40 years – with excellent results and safety data, especially in children.
Xylitol helps reduce cavity-causing bacteria, lowers plaque formation and supports overall oral health while adding a mild natural sweetness.
Oral probiotics help support a healthier oral microbiome by encouraging beneficial bacteria and helping maintain balance in the mouth, which contributes to fresher breath and healthier gums.
No. Moonshots is completely free from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).
No. Because Moonshots is waterless, it does not require the preservatives commonly found in conventional toothpaste.
Yes. Nano Hydroxyapatite is widely studied for helping reduce tooth sensitivity by remineralizing exposed enamel and dentin.
Moonshots contains ingredients that support overall oral health, including oral probiotics and xylitol, which help maintain a healthy oral environment. Good brushing habits are still essential for healthy gums.
Moonshots helps clean teeth effectively and supports enamel health. By keeping enamel healthy, teeth can appear brighter over time without relying on harsh bleaching agents.
