subject: Natural Toothpaste Does Work [print this page] Think all natural toothpaste is just for old hippies? Think again. More and more people are making the switch to natural toothpaste for two reasons. The first reason people choose all natural toothpaste is that it works. Natural toothpaste contains a heavy concentration of mint oils, which are the very best ingredients for killing bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria are the cause of plaque buildup on your teeth, which is the cause of bad breath and gingivitis. Mint oils kill bacteria better than anything else, and keep your mouth sparkling clean.
The second reason people switch to natural toothpaste is to avoid the harmful ingredients in commercial toothpastes. Commercial toothpastes has fluoride, which in large doses can be toxic. Since adults do not need fluoride and children normally get enough fluoride from consuming fluoridated water, you don't really need it in your toothpaste. Getting away from it in toothpaste can give you a hand to ensure that you don't reach any toxic levels in your body. High volume of fluoride can actually cause your teeth to look gray and mottled.
Commercial toothpastes also contain detergent, which is totally not required and which can be a skin irritant to many people. It can also cause cold sores in those who are already prone to them. Finally, commercial toothpastes also often contain saccharin for sweetening. Saccharin has been prove to be a cancer causing agent in laboratory mice, and is exceptionally ever used today for sweetening food because of this.
So, not only does natural toothpaste work and work well, it's also far safer for your family than the commercial toothpaste you've probably been using. You'll have a fresher, cleaner mouth by making the switch and you'll be avoiding all those harmful ingredients in your old toothpaste. Who could argue with a product like that?
