Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Contains Fluoride for Cavity Prevention and Baking Soda & Calcium for Clean Teeth.

Dear Friends, Did you know that 60 percent of our drinking water comes from rivers?  Yet almost 300,000 miles of America's rivers and streams - probably one near you - are polluted.  In response to this crisis, Tom's of Maine has created a five-year partnership with River Network, The Nature Conservancy, the National Park Service's Rivers & Trails Program and participating retailers to launch the National Rivers Awareness Program.  Designed to draw attention to our waterways, this initiative has inspired volunteers around the country to get involved.  We're excited to see so much positive change regarding our rivers.  Whether it's taking the simple step of saving water at home, or making the larger commitment of joining a local river group, each of us can be a part of the solution.  ~ Kate and Tom Chappell

Fluoride helps prevent cavities.  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.

What is baking soda?  Baking soda is a natural compound made from sodium carbonate that has been used safely in oral care products for years.  Its cool, clean taste leaves your mouth feeling brightened and refreshed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Toothpaste Only Equalled By Trader Joe's Natural Toothpaste, August 23, 2009

This review is from: Tom's of Maine Natural Care Fluoride Toothpaste, Anticavity, Baking Soda, Peppermint, 6 oz (170 g) (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

This natural toothpaste is so superior to the usual brands, such as colgate, crest, et al. We just love it and especially the way it makes your mouth feel. However, I also buy Trader Joe's own brand natural tooth paste (at the Trader Joe stores) and have found Trader Joe's to be every bit as good but much cheaper. So I recommend both and your final decision will come down to how much you want to spend.

Tom's Of Maine has a wide variety of toothpaste all made from Natural ingredients with various healthful benefits that all keep your mouth fresh, clean and healthy. This one, Peppermint flavored, with baking soda and calcium is great for clean teeth and uses fluoride to help in preventing cavities. Other ingredients included are water, glycerin,carageenan,xylitol,sodium laurel sulfate(from coconut oil). The box lists the purpose and source of each one. For example Carrageenan is a thickener and it's source is seaweed.

The peppermint taste is very refreshing and leaves my mouth clean and fresh feeling even between meals.It uses only a mild abrasive(calcium carbonate) and this one is accepted by the ADA for helping to prevent tooth decay.

Tom's of Maine has been around since 1970 and uses no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. A great way and natural way to keep your mouth healthy and fresh. This product may also be purchased in a single tube: Tom's of Maine - Anticavity Baking Soda Peppermint, 6 oz toothpaste if you just want to try it out.

Remeber to breathe, eat healthy and enjoy!.....Laurie

I wish I had known before ordering 6 of these that not only has the logo changed, but the formulation and ingredients have changed too. This is NOT the same product that I have been loyally using. Since Colgate bought out Tom's of Maine, they have obviously decided to destroy the brand and eliminate a natural alternative to their products.

This tastes just like the other commercial brands out there- chemically and sickly sweet.

Goodbye Tom's of Maine, it was nice while it lasted. Hopefully I can find another alternative.
