Product Description

Product Description

*Calcium Helps Remove Plaque.  *Fluoride Helps Prevent Cavities.

Finely ground calcium carbonate helps to safely remove plaque from teeth with brushing. Fluoride helps remineralize soft spots on teeth before they turn into full fledged cavities, and strengthens the tooth structure so enamel becomes more resistant to decay.

"Tom's of Maine Natural Fluoride Toothpaste has been shown to be an effective decay-preventive dentifrice that can be of significant value when used as directed in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene and regular professional care." - Council on Scientific Affairs - American Dental Association

*Take the 5-Day Flavor Test*
Our natural flavor comes from a blend of pure spearmint oil and an extract from birch trees. It is never artificially sweetened by saccharin (400 times sweeter than sugar), so give your taste buds a chance to adjust. Use Tom's for 5 days. Then try your regular brand. We'll wager you'll stay with the clean refreshing taste of Tom's.

How do we define natural? By natural we mean that the product contains no artificial preservatives, artificial dyes, or artificial sweeteners (like saccharin) and is created with minimally processed ingredients originally sourced in nature. On each box we list our ingredients, their purpose and source. We believe you have the right to know.

• No Saccharin
• No Artificial Sweeteners or Preservatives
• No Artificial Color or Flavor
• No Animal Ingredients

Tom's of Maine products are tested for safety without the use of animals.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE this spearmint toothpaste!, April 27, 2005

I never realized how much I hated toothpaste until I tried Tom's of Maine spearmint toothpaste. I am hooked forever. This stuff rinses out of your mouth. Not like most toothpastes on the market where you have to rinse and spit, rinse and spit and still can't drink orange juice or coffee. With Tom's, you brush, rinse and you can still go to the kitchen in the morning and drink coffee or orange juice without gagging on the combination of leftover toothpaste and citric acid/tannic acid. I don't think I will ever try another toothpaste again!

This review is from: Tom's of Maine Natural Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste, Spearmint, 6-Ounce Tube (Health and Beauty)

Tom's of Maine makes quite the toothpaste. Granted, the taste isn't a real knockout at first, but once you become accustomed to it, you will never want any other toothpaste. This toothpaste rinses clean and leaves no aftertaste like your standard toothpaste. Also, my mouth feels almost as clean as it does after a trip to the ol' dentist. I don't get that with all of the other brands out there.

Another thing that this toothpaste has going for it is that the makers are doing something friendly for the environment and the customer. I don't mind plunking down a little more change if I know part of it is going to a good cause. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of those tree-hugging hippies, I just appreciate nature a little more than the average joe out there. I'm also tempted to try Tom's of Maine's anti-perspirant, since most of today's offerings leave me a little red and irritated in the underarm region. Heck, I guess I really am a sensitive guy. Awwww. Hope you enjoyed this review.

This review is from: Tom's of Maine Natural Anticavity Fluoride Toothpaste, Spearmint, 6-Ounce Tube (Health and Beauty)

At the beginning this toothpaste tastes strange as it is lacking the saccharin and sweeteners. However, it works! It rinses completely out and the mouth feels clean and fresh as it does not the leave funny semi-sweet aftertaste like other pastes. After using Tom's of Maine Natural Toothpaste for a while, you will not want to use any other: Everything else will taste really bad. Excellent product, not tested on animals (something for the animal lovers). I am very satisfied with it for the past 8 years.
