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.

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.

This took me a long time to get used but I guess it worked well. It has a strange flavor at first but over time you don't realize the taste. The good thing is it doesn't leave a bad aftertaste.

You can get single tubes at the Amazon link: [...]

Some reviewers have posted that they bought the 6 packs and the formula was different. I buy the singles and I am sure that it is the same formula I have been using for the last 20 years.

Don't know what might have happened to the 6 packs, maybe colgate (who bought Tom's) got their packaging screwed up.

Wonderful to buy this in bulk so that I always have another tube at the ready. This is my favorite toothpaste!

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.

I really like this toothpaste. It is naturally flavored and it tastes great. Was a bit worried about using something like this as I've always been one to go with one of the major brands and really bought into the hype that they had something better than something like Tom's. After using this for about six months and going to my dentist, I now know that Tom's is just as good at cleaning and keeping buildup off than anything I've used in the past. I am very happy with it and feel great about using it and doing something good for my teeth!!

Tom's of Maine is a great, all natural toothpaste. It gets your teeth clean and bright--my dentist actually asked me which whitening toothpaste I was using, and he was surprised when I said Tom's of Maine--without artifical ingredients or added sweeteners. Because of the lack of artifical sweetners, this toothpaste can be a bit of a shock at first because it's not sugary sweet, but after a while you won't want to go back to a toothpaste that tastes like candy! The peppermint flavor is subtle, but leaves your mouth feeling fresh. The box and the tube are also recycleble, if you are trying to be green.

I recommend Tom's of Maine to everyone I know with a warning that it takes some time to get used to this toothpaste, because it isn't sweet, but in the end they'll be happy.

I have used this toothpaste for years, and really love it. If you are used to toothpastes with lots saccharine in it, switching to this might be a bit weird at first, but after a while it will taste much better than anything else. My mouth feels much cleaner and fresh than after brushing with toothpastes that have sweeteners.
