Body Butter - Various Essential Oils
From $10.00

We grow up going to dentists who constantly tell us to brush our teeth twice a day with toothpaste, but not many people know what toothpaste really is, or what makes it so effective. Well, the answers may surprise you, as will knowing that not all toothpastes are the same.
Toothpaste is not just a small part of our health and lives. In fact, toothpaste is a CENTRAL and ESSENTIAL part of our ORAL CARE ROUTINE, and can not only provide you with teeth that are clean and sparkling, but stronger too. (1)
But knowing which toothpaste to use is just as important as actually using one, and thankfully there is now an ALL-NATURAL ALTERNATIVE to those dangerous, chemical-laden over-the-counter toothpastes that oftentimes hurt people more than they help them.
In this blog we talk about the importance of ALL-NATURAL TOOTHPASTE, and how you can achieve your BEST ORAL HEALTH EVER today!
It seems that many of the things we use every single day actually date back quite a long time, and toothpaste is no different. In fact, ancient Egyptians were using toothpaste over 7000 years ago, long before the modern brushes we use to apply it today!
Even though varieties of toothpastes have been used for centuries, the toothpaste we all think of wasn’t really put together until the last couple of hundred years, when people began to use it in convenient containers and make their oral health more of a priority. Since then, toothpaste has become THE essential part of most people's ALL-NATURAL ORAL CARE ROUTINE, as well as an essential part of the oral care industry. (2)
And not only is toothpaste an essential part of your oral care routine, but it's also one that can be fun, convenient, and super effective. But as with so many products out there on the market, not all products are the same. In fact, the ingredients in your toothpaste can be just as important as using it. (3)
The reason ALL-NATURAL TOOTHPASTE is so effective is because of what it doesn’t have – fluoride. Being fluoride-free is essential, and it's important that you check the ingredients in your toothpaste – as well as have a HEALTHY ROUTINE that will effectively clean your teeth. This routine also involves avoiding those staining foods like sugar and soda.
In addition to fluoride, many toothpastes also contain triclosan, which can be found by checking labels of over-the-counter toothpastes – many of which can try to hide these harmful ingredients. The bottom line is that brushing the RIGHT WAY with the RIGHT TOOTHPASTE can not only fight tooth decay, but dangerous gingivitis too. (5)
And when we say to MAKE THE SWITCH and GO ALL-NATURAL, it’s because many over-the-counter toothpastes contain abrasives that can actually harm your dental health if the RDA – relative dental abrasivity – of your toothpaste is over the number 250. (6)
Now that we know the importance of the toothpaste you use, let’s talk about why toothpaste works. First and foremost, toothpaste takes away plaque. And this is essential, as plaque may sound like one of those words we take for granted – much like toothpaste – but it’s really sugar and bacteria that can cling to your teeth and deteriorate your oral health.
More specifically, plaque actually causes the erosion of your enamel and gum problems, while offering the potential for the hardening of that plaque into what’s called calculus – which makes bacteria even easier to grow, thus harming your oral health further. (8)

To put it simply, bacteria in your mouth is a serious problem. And a widespread one. In fact, there are over 500 small organisms that literally eat the food in your mouth and cling to your teeth. Brushing with toothpaste is the key part of PREVENTING this from harming your teeth further. (9)
The BEST TOOTHPASTES also contain other ingredients that can manage and prevent tartar, while also removing stains on teeth, all the while not turning the color of your actual teeth. By removing surface stains, your teeth will not only look brighter, but healthier too.
Some toothpastes may also contain natural ingredients that are antibacterial, enabling you the opportunity to better and more effectively repel gum disease and plaque. But be careful – not all toothpastes are great for sensitive teeth, but the BEST TOOTHPASTES are not only helpful in cleaning sensitive teeth, but can also reduce pain and diminish the amount of tooth sensitivity you may suffer from. (11)
Also be sure to avoid over-the-counter toothpastes with excessive amounts of sugar. Sugars are actually not allowed in toothpastes that are approved by the ADA, while some toothpastes also contain artificial flavors and sweeteners. Some of these toothpastes can also contain other ingredients that can hurt your teeth despite your best intentions, so be sure to check labels and make educated decisions about your oral and bodily health.

I can’t wait to try your natural alternative for toothpaste. Do you think it would help with sensitive teeth? That’s my only reluctance.
