Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Working with nature to make a difference.™

Contains zinc citrate to control tartar and silica for whitening.

"Dear Friends - We are pleased to introduce our Natural Tartar Control & Whitening Toothpaste.  Using zinc citrate, our toothpaste helps control tartar buildup naturally, without artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives, for a clean, healthy-feeling mouth.  The silica cleans and whitens teeth, removing stains without the harsh abrasion that can damage enamel.

Over time, and especially as we grow older, plaque forms on our teeth.  If plaque isn't removed, it can calcify, forming hard deposits called tartar.  By using our Tartar Control & Whitening Toothpaste, you can help reduce tartar buildup, and remove the stains that form on teeth.

For more than 30 years, Tom's of Maine has been creating natural care products for you and your families.  We use only the finest natural ingredients, never test our products on animals, and we never use animal ingredients.  Thank you for using our products, and please let us know what you think." ~ Kate & Tom Chappell

Why Tartar Control & Whitening Toothpaste?  Tom's Tartar Control & Whitening Toothpaste helps you control tartar buildup and whitening teeth, every time you brush, without artificial ingredients or harsh abrasives that can damage enamel.

What is tartar?  Tartar forms in the mouth when plaque mineralizes resulting in a hard deposit on teeth that can only be removed by a dentist or hygienist.

Removes stains & whitens teeth - The silica in our toothpaste improves cleaning and removes stains that form on your teeth over time, making your teeth whiter.

Fluoride-free formula - Some people do not want fluoride in their toothpaste.  We produce a fluoride-free toothpaste because we respect our customers' diverse needs and interest.

Take the 5-day flavor test - Our naturally flavor comes from pure peppermint oils.  It is never artificially sweetened with 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.

I will admit I was disappointed with some of Tom's other products like the odd scents of many of their natural deodorants but this product restored my good opinion of this company. I'm not exaggerating when I say the fennel flavor of this toothpaste makes me look forward to brushing my teeth. It is a very nice taste and gives the breath with a natural and sweet scent and a great aftertaste. Please roll out more of the sweet scents from nature's basket. I bought several months supply and I 100% recommend this!

Tom's of Maine Toothpaste

Tom's is a small company, employing fewer than two hundred people. It was founded in 1970 and then purchased by Colgate in 2006. Fortunately, Colgate has left Tom's alone to manage their business according to their original principles.

Tom's makes natural products. The toothpaste contains no sugar, sweeteners, or artificial flavoring. By contrast, I looked at a tube of Colgate toothpaste that I have on the shelf. It contains "flavor," whatever that is, "saccharine," and "propylene glycol." The last ingredient is a less-toxic form of anti-freeze. One advantage of Tom's toothpaste is that we do not have to worry about ingesting poisons when we use it.

I have been using Tom's for years. The toothpaste comes in many flavors. On Amazon, you can find Peppermint, Spearmint, Fennel, Orange-Mango, Cinnamint, Wintermint, Apricot, Soothing Mint, True Mint, and Gingermint, among others. I prefer the Peppermint flavor, which is refreshing, but not overwhelming. The toothpaste is available in sizes from 1 ounce to 6 ounces.

I do not exactly live in a wilderness area, but my local stores no longer carry Tom's. Fortunately, it can be found on Amazon and other web sites. The prices do vary from vendor to vendor, so check for the best price.
