Why is an all-natural toothpaste the way to go? Well who wouldn’t like a healthy, attractive smile?  You know what I mean – clean white teeth, a bright smile that captivates, and healthy gums. We all know the importance of brushing our teeth regularly, but many commercial toothpastes contain a range of ingredients that can be harmful to your health.

All -Natural Toothpaste means no harmful chemicals to swallow

When you clean your teeth, you inevitably swallow small amounts of toothpaste, along with the chemicals found in them. Wouldn’t you feel better knowing that this important daily ritual can give you that desired captivating smile without undermining your health? Well, we’ve got the solution on how to achieve that healthy smile naturally, without any of the harsh chemicals normally found in commercial toothpastes.  Cleansing your teeth with an all-natural toothpaste means you can effectively clean and brighten your teeth without the harsh ingredients.

How to choose a quality all-natural toothpaste

1. Read the label carefully and know the harsh chemicals to avoid – These include Propylene Glycol, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), preservatives such as Sodium Benzoate, parabens, or harsh abrasives such as calcium phosphate or calcium carbonate and artificial colours and sweeteners.  You wouldn’t choose to swallow a teaspoon of this toxic cocktail, so why clean your teeth with it twice a day?
2. Not all natural toothpastes are ALL-NATURAL – Some toothpastes claim to be natural but actually contain artificial sweeteners such as saccharin.  Long-term ingestion of saccharin is known to cause certain side effects in some individuals, such as skin conditions, nausea and other allergy-related symptoms.
3. Look for plant-based ingredients and fine green clay – Natural toothpastes use pure essential oils, like peppermint, lemon and/or cinnamon for flavour, and tea tree essential oil for its anti-bacterial properties.  Plant-derived compounds are not only safer for you, but they are also safer for the environment. Fine green clay and bicarbonate of soda are natural, non-abrasive cleansers that do not damage tooth enamel.
4. Look for toothpastes that are certified natural – While anyone can make all kinds of claims that their products are natural, certification from bodies such as ICEA or DEMETER guarantee that the products have met stringent international standards, declaring them as safe and natural, and without any animal testing.
5. Natural toothpastes may take some getting used to – they are different and are not degraded by artificial flavours, sweeteners and colorants.

All-natural toothpastes are effective and safe and will give you that healthy, attractive smile, clean white teeth and healthy gums while effectively fighting tooth decay.
