I started buying a toothpaste that has this ingredient and also has no fluoride. I was actually looking for a toothpaste with no fluoride when I found out about this ingredient. I can tell you since I have been using this toothpaste I have had a lot of improvement in the appearance of my teeth and also any sensitive spots have gone away.


Why don’t people want fluoride?

Travel to a country that doesn’t have fluoride in their water and take a look at their teeth.

And your “All Fluoride is toxic” statement is a complete misrepresentation.

Is Water toxic? What about distilled water? Is it toxic?

It must be, because it has an LD50.

Fluoride is an antiseptic that damages your oral micro biome and may cause issues that cascade into metabolic problems.

I try to avoid interfering artificially in my body's natural processes.

This strategy has worked well for me.

Wait until you discover the insane marketing wankery of the dish soap aisle.

I mean who gives a shite? Heinz has like 95% of the ketchup marketplace.

Colgate and Crest own 70% of the market. its like that bit Jerry Seinfeld does about Coke. Its like, why bother pepsi? Coke owns the soda market. good luck eeking out another 1%.

Just two? That’s it?

Too bad it’s so few.

Fluoride occurs naturally and is present in well water in varying amounts depending on location.

Imagine a product where being 70% real organic is something to brag about.

I would really prefer putting something non chemical lab crap in my mouth twice a day. More and more I think that crazy RFK guy is right about our food and stuff.

Differences? Sure. My dentist told me to read the labels and make sure I'm buying toothpaste with Stannous Fluoride rather than Sodium Fluoride.


I used to just get the cheapest ADA-approved toothpaste, which was AIM, since they're almost all the same.

But then my teeth started getting all sensitive n shite with older age and I had to switch to Sensodyne with the Stannous Fluoride, which is a nerve deadener. Have to watch out, though, because Sensodyne offers non-descript variations with strannous fluoride, potassium nitrate, and sodium fluoride--the ladder two which do nothing for my sensitivity.

Read the labels

Like Bon Jovi sang, "They're all the same, only the name is changed..."

Well, it's a halogen. In the case of fluoride, the biological half-life is measured in hours. Chlorine (as a chloride) and iodine both hang around longer in the body (they are also halogens).

One that is natually occurring and if you drink well water or tea you probably get WAY more fluoride than what toothpaste will deliver....
