The best toothpaste does more than just leave your mouth feeling fresh — its active ingredients help clean each tooth, eliminating plaque and bacteria, and preventing gingivitis, cavities, and helping to prevent tooth decay. That being said, nearly 75% of people in the U.S. have fluoride in their water, according to the ADA, so you might already be getting it outside of your toothpaste. "I am not against fluoride, but I only use it once a day and am a bigger fan of its use in patients that have a high risk for decay and when people don't drink city water that has been treated," Amanda Lewis, DMD, a dentist in Dallas, told Insider. Fluoride can be a useful ingredient in toothpaste, but it is speculated that it can also be harmful to our health. Aquafresh Splash is a specially designed strawberry and mint flavoured toothpaste for kids between 3 and 8 years of age, to provide protection for their primary and new permanent teeth, whilst having a fun flavour to encourage kids to brush for longer.

I’ve rounded up a whole list of non-mint toothpastes below, and you can see which ones don’t contain fluoride below. Some popular options include: A non-mint fluoride free toothpaste that contains no fluoride and which does contain an alternative remineralising agent. Calcium phosphates (such as hydroxyapatite) help re-harden the tooth surface in a similar way to fluoride. These ingredients are newer than fluoride and are still undergoing long term studies, but are showing a lot of promise. They are normally more expensive than fluoride, but there is lots of evidence supporting their effectiveness. All of the natural and organic ingredients are suitable for veggies and vegans and there are no parabens, phthalates, SLS, colourants or artificial sweeteners to be found! However, people are consuming more fluoride than ever these days, as it’s not only prevalent in our dental care but also finding its way more and more into our foods chain in the form of pesticides and industrial byproducts.

Fluoride works to prevent cavities by assisting tooth remineralisation, allowing calcium and other minerals to enter the tooth enamel to keep it strong and prevent decay.

Scarlet fever: Because a bacterial infection causes this condition, antibiotics are often prescribed as treatment.One study found that tooth decay actually declined in East Germany once water fluoridation stopped, for example. Effects of fluoride Far too many details regarding my toothpaste quest and experiences, including the ones I recommend you avoid, are below the fold.

With natural, high-quality ingredients, this toothpaste should benefit your kid’s mouth health, protecting against plaque, tartar, cavities, gum disease, just like a fluoridated toothpaste would. Fluoride tends to build up in the body over time and this can result in a range of health complications including dental fluorosis (staining and damage of tooth enamel), bone disease, gastrointestinal disease, stunted IQ, dementia, diabetes thyroid dysfunction, infertility, kidney failure, genetic and cell damage, blood sugar disruption and more. Kingfisher’s Mint Fluoride Free Toothpaste has a short, simple list of ingredients. A calcium carbonate-based formula gently scrubs teeth, while extracts of peppermint, lemon, and fennel provide freshness.As far as the taste goes, it’s as mild as it comes, barely having any flavor at all, which rather disappointed my citrus hopes. Setting aside flavor, it’s as effective as it is odd. It feels kind of gritty and doesn’t foam up. It’s runny, but a little bit goes a very long way. So long, in fact, that I straight-up got distracted and forgot to brush the next day. My mouth may not have felt as freshened right after I brushed, but my teeth stayed smooth and plaque-free and my breath neutral for a whole extra day, as in I used it one morning, slept, woke up, and went through a full day with a clean mouth.
