Do you ever wonder if the toothpaste you and your kids are using is toxic?\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look at some ingredients of concern that are in most conventional toothpaste brands.

Artificial Colorings \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Linked to ADHD & hyperactivity in children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Titanium Dioxide \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>It\u2019s just there to make toothpaste white.\u00a0 EWG has a list of safety concerns, including possibly a carcinogen when ingested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Causes canker sores for many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Triclosan \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>A pesticide and hormone disruptor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Glycerin \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>It isn\u2019t toxic, but ideally has no place in the mouth as it\u2019s a soap that can strip your body\u2019s natural oral mucosa and leaves a film.\u00a0This could alter the microbiome in the mouth.

Ingredients we love:<\/span><\/strong>
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0is a naturally occurring mineral that makes up 97% of our tooth enamel and has been scientifically-proven to strengthen and protect your teeth without fluoride. While Hydroxyapatite is not as well-known in the US, it\u2019s been the gold standard in Japan for over 40 years.
TIP \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Don\u2019t rinse your mouth after brushing with HAp.

Bentonite Clay \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>A natural polisher that is rich in minerals and not too abrasive.\u00a0 It\u2019s alkaline and helps reduce acidity in the mouth.\u00a0
TIP \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Make sure it\u2019s \u201clead-free\u201d clay.

Xylitol \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Reduces cavity causing bacteria in the mouth.\u00a0
