PerioPaste Natural Toothpaste - TWO 4 oz Tubes

We searched long and hard to find this toothpaste. We were looking for something that was all-natural, fluoride free, and also foaming-agent-free. The last one was the kicker - there are many (many, Many, MANY) toothpaste manufacturers who proudly claim that they are "Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Free" or "SLS Free", but which still include variants of this industrial surfactant foaming agent.It's funny that people go to great lengths to eat healthfully, but then will brush with toothpaste that is, literally, toxic due to the fluoride and foaming agents. Leaving aside hysteria, the facts are that fluoride is a poison, and if one were to ingest the contents of a tube of standard fluoride+SLS toothpaste that would call for an emergency room visit and could potentially be life-threatening.Also, the size of a unit of toothpaste is limited by the manufacturers in order to prevent lawsuits over accidental ingestion (usually by children). Have you ever wondered why you can't buy a huge tub of toothpaste with a pump on top? That's why - the manufacturers don't want the liability of putting lethal doses of sweet tasting poison on your bathroom counter.Also, if you think you're *not* ingesting these agents because you don't swallow, take a look at an article on sublingual administration of medication, where you'll find that mucous membrane under the tongue leads directly to a profusion of capillaries, and substances in your mouth diffuse through them and pass directly into the bloodstream. They don't even pass through the normal digestive or filtering mechanisms of the body, they pass directly into the bloodstream.So, we have made the choice to forego the dental benefits of fluoride and the familiarity of foaming (via SLS) by using natural toothpaste. Yes, we might get a couple more cavities, but we consider that a fair trade when weighed against the daily ingestion of known toxic and poisonous chemicals.

When I first tried it, I thought "eww." But after a while, I started to realize my mouth felt SO much cleaner after brushing. Definitely has that "tree root" taste, but isn't so overly sweet and doesn't leave a film on my teeth the way mainstream pastes do.This is a natural, clean freshness, and I use much less than normal toothpastes, so the tube lasts a long time.

I really like the flavor of this toothpaste. However, seems a bit runnier than normal toothpaste when I'm brushing. I'll keep buying it because it's healthier than most commercial brands on the market.

Your teeth are super clean and smooth after using this. I love the fact that there is no fluoride in it at all whatsoever! I've been using this for quite some time now and I don't plan on getting anything else!

The taste is horrible and it doesn’t help with gum disease. Very disappointed
