Earthpaste

It definitely comes down to personal choice.

Absolutely!

I use a licorice root as my brush- oil pull with coconut and manuka honey and then put b clay or charcoal in water in my mouth as a rinse but let it sit in there for a while to absorb. if i use a brush it is a silicone one.

Hi!

I was shocked reading about lead in this Earthpaste:
Redmond Trading Company, Earthpaste, Amazingly Natural Toothpaste, Lemon Twist, 4 oz (113 g)

Does anybody know more details about it?

Edit: Sorry. I just read the whole conversation.

I have been using the cinnamon earth paste and am happy with it.

Cinnamon and Wintergreen are my favs. I don't like how the clay clogs my sink quickly. I alternate with Tom's Fluoride Free.

Tom's Flouride Free could be fine, but unfortunately contains Carrageenan...

I used the Earthpaste at one point but didn't feel satisfactorily clean after using. With this talk of lead it's giving me additional pause. I alternate between straight baking soda and Pepsodent (it's only $1 vs. Crest $2.99). I should probably use the Tom's because there aren't the harsh chemicals, but it's economical at the moment for me. I just make sure to rinse really well when using the flouride based toothpastes. I'd also probably not be that concerned with the carageenen as long as I make sure to rinse well.

Tom's has glycerine in it

 

[G Forrest]

That's right forgot about that, then I would avoid it since the glycerine blocks remineralization.

I recently started using straight xylitol to brush with. this article talks about the benefits
