Popular Q&A's for Natural Toothpaste

1. Why should I switch to natural toothpaste??

Natural toothpaste is free from questionable ingredients found in conventional toothpaste like SLS's, fluoride, artificial sweeteners, and even triclosan. By switching to natural toothpaste, you're reducing your exposure to these substances while still effectively cleaning your teeth with ingredients derived from nature.

2. Is natural toothpaste as effective as conventional toothpaste?

Yes! Natural toothpastes use alternative ingredients like calcium hydroxyapatite, baking soda, ratanhia and Propolis that are effective at cleaning teeth and promoting excellent oral health. While they may not foam as much (due to the absence of SLS), this doesn't affect their cleaning power—it just means you might need to brush a little more thoroughly.

3. What natural ingredients are effective for oral health?

Many natural ingredients provide excellent benefits for oral health. These include calcium hydroxyapatite for remineralization, xylitol for cavity prevention, baking soda for whitening and pH balance, and essential oils like tea tree, peppermint, and clove for their antimicrobial properties.

4. Why doesn't natural toothpaste foam like conventional brands?

DNatural toothpastes don't contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a synthetic detergent that creates foam but can irritate sensitive mouths. While the foaming action might be less dramatic, natural toothpastes clean just as effectively—the foam in conventional toothpastes is mostly for sensation, not cleaning power.

5. Is natural toothpaste safe to swallow?

While we don't recommend swallowing any toothpaste intentionally, natural toothpastes typically contain fewer harmful chemicals, making them a safer option, especially for children who may accidentally swallow toothpaste while brushing.
