This review is from: Tom's of Maine Natural Whole Care Anticavity & Tartar Control Plus Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste, Spearmint, 5.2-Ounce Tubes (Pack of 6) (Health and Beauty)

I've tried 4 or 5 of Tom's toothpastes, this one is definitely the best. The 'Whole Care' selection gives the best results, and the Spearmint is the best flavor. Far superior to any brand out there.

PROS: No colorings, it's white. I've always been skeptical of brushing with green and blue dyed toothpaste from other brands, why do I want dye on my teeth?; no artificial sweeteners, something else you don't want on your teeth. Then when you do your research, you find Tom's of Maine is an all around good company as well. Good people, good product.

CONS: The price. Shop around for the best deals and use coupons. But, you do get what you pay for with this great product. It's worth it.

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.
