It\u2019s essential that you choose a fluoride-free toothpaste since fluoride can be toxic. Specifically, there are developmental and reproductive toxicities associated with fluoride that you want no part of. Just as important to overall health as eating well, avoiding harmful food additives and getting rid of potentially toxic amalgam fillings is choosing the best toothpaste possible. <\/p>\n
What To Avoid The best toothpaste choices on the market come from companies like Tom\u2019s of Maine \u2014 now owned by Colgate \u2014 and from Dr. Ken\u2019s, Tea Tree Therapy and The Natural Dentists to name only a few. You need to choose a fluoride-free toothpaste that\u2019s also free from other harmful ingredients like triclosan, BHT, PEG-12, FD&C 12, DEA, sodium hydroxide and propylene glycol. <\/p>\n

You should avoid sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium saccarin, carrageen, sorbitol and manganese gluconate as well. That could leave you searching for hours for the best toothpaste. And can you really trust those labels? \u00a0 A Great-Tasting Homemade Toothpaste Making your own homemade toothpaste is incredibly easy and the ingredients aren\u2019t hard to find either. <\/p>\n
