2.0 out of 5 stars Natural? Maybe, but certainly not what you think., February 5, 2007

Tom's products really seem misleading. They label them "Natural" which leads people to believe they are getting a healthier product - which isn't always the case.

Thats the case with most of Tom's products. This toothpaste for example only has the natural label because it doesn't contain artificial sweeteners and color.

Be advised, this toothpaste contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate, a known irritant and carcinogen. Something that every single other natural toothpaste won't have in it. SLS causes canker/cold sores, and is readily absorbed in the mucus membranes of the mouth.

Find an alternative, this isn't really much better than normal cheap mass marketed toothpaste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tastes Great - Works Amazingly!, June 28, 2007

I got off mint flavors and flouride when I started taking homeopathic remedies years ago and Tom's of Maine is a godsend. This strawberry toothpaste tastes really good and it actually whitens your teeth too! I also picked up some Tom's that tastes like licorice so I switch back and forth everyday with this and I've been happy with both products since the day I started using them :)

I have been buying this toothpaste for the last year, and my kids absolutely love it.

It is sooo much better than the "bubblegum" and "bubblefruit" flavors that other kids toothpaste comes it.

No artificial sweeteners is also a plus!

The kids seem to like the Silly Strawberry the best, but my daughter enjoyed the Outragous Orange Mango.

My only problem is the metal tube. As kids usually do, my children squeeze the tube from the center and with a metal tube it is difficult to straighten out. Really need a toothpaste tube key, but I can't seem to find one. Maybe Tom's of Maine should sell those too.
