Does your toothpaste have the same warning on it? I was shocked to learn that there were many potentially harmful chemicals and toxins in the namebrand toothpaste I was using.
Here are a few of the ingredients...
Sodium Fluoride: used as an insecticide and disinfectant. Fluoride has been linked in government and scientific reports to may harmful health effects, including: bone and tooth decay Alzheimer's, memory loss and other neurological impairment, kidney damage, cancer, genetic damage, and gastrointestinal problems.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: Also known as detergent or soap. It is a known irritant and contaminant that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration encourages manufacturers to remove, but it is not currently required by federal law.
Titanium Dioxide: Used to provide whiteness to toothpastes, titanium dioxide occurrences in nature are never pure; it is found with contaminant metals such as iron. It has recently been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as an IARC Group 2B carcinogen ''possibly carcinogen to humans'', due to it's causing cancer in rats.
A scary thought to me, because I know what we use in our mouth can absorb into our bodies. So a few months ago, I decided to begin using Sunsmile Herbal Toothpaste, a safe natural toothpaste without fluoride or soap (sodium laurel sulfate), saccharin, artifical colors or flavors... one that is formulated with food herbs.
SunSmile Herbal Toothpaste When Dr. Chen created SunSmile Herbal Toothpaste, he wanted to break the typical toothpaste mold. He created a product that could clean the mouth,teeth & gums without soap (sodium laurel sulfate), abrasives or harmful chemicals, like fluoride to kill germs (fluoride will etch anything including glass; it actually eats up and dissolves tooth enamel).
To explain the uniqueness of this Natural Toothpaste, Dr. Chen put micro-encapsulated enzymes into the toothpaste. These are enzymes which digest the food particles between the teeth. When you brush your teeth the capsules break open and release enzymes into the mouth, cleaning up left over food particals that otherwise feed bacteria. If there is no food for bacteria to eat, plaque will not be created in the first place.
Additionally, this herbal toothpaste contains Neem Oil which kills bacteria in the mouth and has more herbs designed to nourish the gums. These herbs allow the gums to heal and regenerate.
We have had real success in healing our gums and teeth with this toothpaste. We've noticed less gum sensitivity and less time in the dental chair getting cleansings. We love that it's non-toxic & environmentally friendly. Plus because it's so concentrated, you only have to use a pearl sized amount each time you brush, so one tube of toothpaste lasts a long time.
Do you know anyone who'd like to know about a product that delivers powerful cleaning action without the harmful ingredients found in regular toothpastes (read the warning labels on retail brands) and want to feel the difference?
