Going Natural With Your Toothpaste

Natural products are catching on like wildfire in popularity. There are natural versions out there of almost any product you can conceive of. Cleaning products, baby care items, pet items, beauty care items and the list just goes on and on. Natural toothpaste is another product on the market that is becoming a more popular item to buy and use. In the more distant past you were left to your own devices using items like baking soda if you wanted a natural alternative to the traditional chemically laden toothpastes available. Not any more. Natural toothpaste is big business and more and more companies are jumping into the market. Which is great for consumers since it gives them more choices.

Some may wonder what the big deal is about natural toothpaste. Is it really necessary and important to switch from your favorite brand to a more natural one? Also, with the often higher price tag of natural products, is it worth the extra cash you will inevitably spend? With that I would have to ask what price can you put upon your good oral health. Many commercial toothpastes contain things that most people, if asked, would not want to put into their mouths. Dyes, sweeteners , artificial flavoring and preservatives are some of the milder offenders in regular toothpastes. They also contain things like Triclosan, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, and Propylene Glycol. Those are just to name a few, but the ones named are used in things like anti-freeze, chemical cleaners and rat poisons. Not to mention that many commercial toothpastes contain high levels of fluoride, which can be fatally toxic with too high of an amount.

With all of the above information, maybe you are considering a natural toothpaste more strongly. There are many good products to choose from. Natural toothpastes are generally less abrasive to your mouth and teeth than their more comercial counterparts. The ADA has given their seal of approval to some of the natural toothpate brands so you can rest assured that your natural toothpaste purchase is getting the job done. Many of the natural toothpastes are fluoride free, or some have a more natural source of fluoride in them. These toothpastes don't foam up quite as much as what you may be used to, but you can rest assured that they are cleaning your teeth well. The pure and natural oils give a pleasant taste to the paste and have beneficial properties as well. Look at natural toothpastes in your store.
