Great find
Teeth feel cleaner longer. Taste is light, not harsh and even my picky husband that would ONLY use a certain type of a specific brand tried this and liked it.

I haven't been to the dentist yet to test the performance since I've only been using this toothpaste for 2 months but if it is working as well as it feels like it is, I've found my new toothpaste for life.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a cheap mostly industrial degreaser. It is at best controversial and can be found in dozens of articles and studies which have found it to be a skin irritant which can be absorbed through the skin (particularly in the mouth) and affect internal organs. Check ewg.org It is true that the chemical is controversial.
While this chemical may not be DDT, it is at least controversial and has no place in a product calling itself Natural that you're going to put in your mouth.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening, Fluoride-Free Natural Toothpaste, Peppermint, 5.5 oz:
We were looking for a fluoride free toothpaste for our family. We found it with Tom's! Our teeth have never felt cleaner than they do using the Tom's toothpaste. I noticed my teeth getting whiter just in about a two week use. I also noticed that I didn't have as bad of "morning breath" after using this product for only a few days. I bought the whitening as well as the cinnamint. As much as I like the flavor of the cinnamint, I do like the results of the whitening much better. I highly recommend this product.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening, Fluoride-Free Natural Toothpaste, Peppermint, 5.5 oz:
Contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate a known hazardous CHEMICAL! It is not natural, and infact the USDA has issued warnings about excessive use. If you don't care about a natural product, then go ahead and buy this. However, if you are buying it because you (mistaken) believe it to be natural and want a natural product (as I did), avoid it.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening, Fluoride-Free Natural Toothpaste, Peppermint, 5.5 oz:
I really really really hate to floss - and even though I used to vow to start doing it regularly every time I visited the dentist, I never did. Doing a little online research, I discovered a toothpast with zinc citrate should do a good job removing plaque, and discovered this toothpaste when I search for a toothpaste that had the zinc citrate and was also gluten-free. It does a pretty good job of whitening too - and I like the taste, similar to the Colgate toothpaste I grew up using.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening, Fluoride-Free Natural Toothpaste, Peppermint, 5.5 oz:
So sad that Tom's sold out. The quality has decreased, but I still have found no replacement for this great product. Since Tom's sold out, the tube is now made of the suspicious soft plastic, and the paste has gotten watery.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening, Fluoride-Free Natural Toothpaste, Peppermint, 5.5 oz:
This is a terrific product all the way around and I will not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who wants clean teeth and does not want to poison themselves with fluoride.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was prompt and product arrived in good condition.
Comments about Tom's of Maine Antiplaque & Whitening, Fluoride-Free Natural Toothpaste, Peppermint, 5.5 oz:
Mom always swore by this product. Finally tried it and this toothpaste has to be the best toothpaste in the US market right now. You can tell it's not overly chemically but still cleans your teeth. My mouth feels great after using this product! Highly recommend this product in this specific flavor.
