Product Information

In case none of the products from our list above appeal to you, here are some additional natural toothpastes to consider. Despite the fact that most individuals claim to brush their teeth at least twice a day, the prevalence of gingivitis and chronic periodontitis remains high in most populations [ 46]. The maintenance of an effective level of plaque control is clearly difficult using conventional mechanical procedures and dentifrices and yet, from a therapeutic perspective, it is currently the only realistic means of improving the periodontal health of populations. We assessed whether herbal toothpastes improved the effectiveness of plaque control and gingival health in comparison to non-herbal toothpaste. Overall, our findings suggest that HTP is superior to NHTP at removing supra-gingival plaque at short term use of 4 weeks, but there is no difference at long-term use of 12 weeks. This toothpaste blends a soothing mint flavor with the protective qualities of fluoride to keep your mouth fresh and free from cavities. It gently prevents plaque buildup without harsh abrasives. There’s a great divide in toothpastes: Those with fluoride and those without. About 75% of American community water supplies have added fluoride in them, and that, along with widespread use of toothpaste with added fluoride, is credited with reducing the number of cavities people get.

Just be aware that toothpastes will only lift stains off your teeth, they will not bleach them in the same way that professional whitening does. Xylitol is found in many plants and is usually extracted from birch trees. Chemically, it’s a type of alcohol that’s a carbohydrate (and it doesn’t actually contain alcohol). Xylitol is used as a natural zero-calorie sweetener and also in dental products. We searched the following databases for Randomised controlled trials (RCTs): MEDLINE Ovid, EMBASE Ovid etc. which yielded 493 trails. Of which 24 RCTs comparing herbal toothpaste or mouth rinse with over the counter toothpaste or mouth rinse in adults aged 18 to 65 years were included. Two authors extracted information and assessed the methodological quality of the included studies using Risk of Bias. Meta-analyses using the random-effects model were conducted for four outcomes for tooth paste and mouth rinse respectively. Mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD) were used to estimate the effect, with 95% confidence intervals. Results Many conventional kinds of toothpaste contain ingredients considered ‘controversial’, meaning there are arguments from experts on both sides for why they should or should not be used. From our perspective, it is up to the individual to make up their mind, so we have outlined some of the more controversial ingredients below and leave the conclusions up to you!
