What's In Your Toothpaste? - The WORST And Best Toothpaste Ingredients

[@savitavekaria6795]

Hi Rachael, i love your holistic approach to dental care/health care.please clarify some confusions around some information: *Biofilms are actually helpful in oral health. *soda bicarb when used for oral care whilst the ph of the mouth is not at the right level,it actually does harm. *what is your take on use of complete mouthcare system that involves very particular products of particular brands by a dentist. 1st Closys ultra sensitive,then crest original cavity protection toothpaste,followed by coolmint listerine mouth wash,then alcohol free act anticavity and finally use of xylitol mint after meals. I have tried contacting them but aint recieving any responses.i have used it for 2 months.i now have what i feel could be dry mouth.couls this care products be the cause or could it be other things going on in my life like 10 day sibo antibiotics and sibo diet prescribed by my practitioner,which has been about 5 weeks.your light will be greatly appreciated.also your advice on how to heal dry mouth will be very helpful please.

sounds like you are following or referring to Dr Ellie's program?

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

your biofilm (microbiome) needs to be healthy which is why we seek to influence it with xylitol and natural approaches.

[@HRBuddy376]

If you are doing Dr Ellie's complete mouth care - too much fluoride, alcohol and other chemicals for my taste.

@@EvolveDentalHealingdo you recommend oral probiotics? And also is xylitol safe ? Does it help prevent plaque

So glad to have found an Aussie KZbin channel on holistic dentistry. Greetings from Cairns! What are your thoughts on putting some natural toothpaste in whitening tray and giving myself a 'treatment' every now and again - but using natural toothpaste instead of peroxide? I feel as though it would be similar to a fluoride treatment but using hydroxyapatite instead...and it would give it more time to really soak into the teeth. I currently use MooGoo (Moothpaste). Thanks!

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

I think that's a great idea to hold it around your teeth for longer and its something I recommend to patients who have whitening trays or retainers to do once in a while. Glad to have you onboard and please subscribe to the channel.

Hello, Dr. Rachel. I’d like to know your opinion on charcoal toothpaste. I have the “Magic Mud” brand and it’s fluoride free and has these ingredients and would like to know your input. Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Solum Diatomeae (Diatomaceous Earth), Xylitol, Bentonite, Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Charcoal Powder (Activated Coconut Shell Charcoal), Mentha Arvensis (Peppermint) Leaf Oil*, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil*, Citric Acid, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract*, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil*, Citrus Sinensis (Orange) Oil*, Stevia Rebaudiana Extract*, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil, Citrius Grandis (Grapefruit) Seed Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Xanthan Gum * Organic Ingredients.

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

Good ingredients overall but some studies show charcoal can limit the availability of minerals. The charcoal can stain your teeth and around existing fillings. Charcoal has a gritty texture that can be too abrasive for everyday use. This abrasiveness can wear down tooth enamel, the protective outer layer of your teeth. Enamel erosion can lead to increased tooth sensitivity and make your teeth appear more yellow by exposing the dentin, the layer beneath the enamel which has a naturally yellow colour. The abrasiveness of charcoal toothpaste can also irritate your gums, potentially leading to gum recession and gum disease.

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

It works but be aware that it contains fluoride

there are natural toothpastes designed for sensitive teeth such as Grants Sensitive. If you do some internet searches you should be able to find some similar toothpastes.

I use soapnut as a tooth paste..... after cleaning my tooth I keep 1 spoon coconut oil in mouth than spit it out.

today from you i knew that soapnuts can be put into mouth also safely.i use it for hair wash

[@ConquererWarrior]

Burning mouth, cinnamon, mint and peppermint is not good to use as the irritation to the oral tissues. Probiotics in toothpaste is concern that the probiotics are not alive as they only live for a period of time plus depending on the environment of temperature

[@discplayr23]

I have been using primarily natural toothpastes with hydroxyapatite for the past several years but have noticed that my teeth are more sensitive and translucent and am debating returning to flouride for more protection/the "white glossy" look. I have tried top toothpastes and they do not seem to perform as well on gums & teeth as the "chemicals." Thoughts?

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

I would be looking at your diet and nutritional status things like Vit D3 and minerals

[@discplayr23]

@@EvolveDentalHealingthanks! I have been. I take supplements to support my teeth, herbs & homeopathy but can’t figure it out. Appreciate your videos!

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

what sort of diet do you consume, stress levels, sleep quality?

[@discplayr23]

@@EvolveDentalHealing stress is high but can’t necessarily change that (occupational). Diet is a variety..no processed foods or refined grains, low sugars, have recently incorporated raw dairy. I do enjoy coffee in the AM. :) Have Lyme disease so that could highly likely be driving inflammation. I track sleep & generally sleep 8hrs w/ REM & SWS (harder when traveling or with my partner). 🙏

yep, there sure can be a lot of nasty chemicals in them. Thankfully there are so may great natural toothpastes now that will really benefit tooth and gum health because of their active ingredients

[@HRBuddy376]

Its really scary what is in regualr toothpastes all those chemicals in your mouth twice a day every day.!!!

[@EvolveDentalHealing]

yes, but toothpaste is sold as a product like shampoo and soap and thus does not have to undergo rigorous scientific testing. So they can make claims and pretty much put what they want it in.

Controversial and controversial and so so on one said yes and others not
