5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, April 3, 2004

By A Customer

I was diagnosed with Perioral Dermatitis by my dermatologist in Nov '03. She indicated it is caused by toothpaste (I was using Colgate TOTAL for 3 or 4 years) and I needed to use plain old-fashion toothpaste with NO "bells & whistles" and I had to take antibiotics to cure it. Dermatologist also tells me their office is seeing more and more of this due to all the fancy new toothpastes coming out on the market.

Internet research on the diagnosis led me to Squigle Enamel Saver toothpaste. It is truly mild. During the years I used Colgate TOTAL (which I loved because my teeth felt sooo clean), whenever I used plain old regular Colgate it would taste like bland cardboard to me and I'd go right back to the TOTAL. Now that I've been using Squigle for over 4 months, when I pick up my husband's regular Colgate, it burns my mouth. Remember, this is the regular colgate that tasted so bland when I was using ColgateTOTAL.

Another thing I noticed after using the Squigle for a couple of months---I don't need the daily flouride treatment for my sensitive teeth anymore. Last week I used regular Colgate once a day in addition to Squigle the other times of the day, and my teeth are becoming sensitive again. Evidently there is *something* about Squigle that keeps my teeth from being sensitive. Not putting more flouride in my body is fine with me.

Interesting note --- the only other 'active ingredient' in Colgate's TOTAL is "triclosan." Before I was diagnosed I had switched face moisturizers and the newer one really irritated that rash on my face. Triclosan is listed as one of the ingredients of the newer moisturizer. I hate to toss a $30 bottle of Clarins moisturizer, but I do NOT want Perioral Dermatitis again.

Triclosan is an anti-bacterial agent used in soaps and many other products, to prevent bacteria growth in the product itself. I my case, this is probably what caused my particular case of Perioral Dermatitis and I'll have to read ingredients labels for the rest of my life.

This toothpaste is pricey but worth it to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one AMAZING toothpaste!!!!, September 1, 2004

never thought i could get so excited about something like toothpaste, but wowee is this stuff great. i had developed a sensitivity to toothpaste containing sodium lauryl sulfate, which would induce outbreaks of very painful sores on my tongue. after doing some online research, i found squigle.

it tastes great, leaves my mouth feeling very clean, is very mild and just perfect. the only negative i can think of is the price--but it's worth not having a painful mouth all the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars relief!, April 28, 2005

I do not get ulcers, but when I use sodium lauryl sulfate toothpastes my tongue and cheeks get severely irritated and even begin to peel. This toothpaste has given me complete relief from my maladies and I can't be happier! The only annoyance is that I can't buy it in stores.
