Looking for I guess the Honest Company equivalent toothpaste
Squigle. I cannot recommend this toothpaste enough, it literally changed my life. I used to be plagued regularly by canker sores (Painful ulcers inside the mouth, not to be confused with cold sores which occur outside the mouth), which occurred more frequently when I was stressed or sick, and lasted for a week or more. I switched to Squigle about 1.5 years ago and literally have not gotten a single canker sore since. Not an exaggeration, went from several per month to NONE, immediately.
- American company, based in Pennsylvania
- No Sodium Laurel Sulfate
- Has Flouride (I live in Portland where the woo woo crystal healing crowd doesn’t let us fluoridate the drinking water)
- Has a large amount of Xylitol, which has been correlated with canker sore reduction.
I order this stuff by the pack because I’m terrified of them suddenly going out of business one day.
Sounds great.
Just wanted to point out really quick that xylitol is toxic to dogs; probably less of a concern with toothpaste but puppies are dumb and chew everything.
Yeah definitely worth mentioning, I only forgot to because I don’t have a dog.
Actually while we’re on the topic of lesser-known pet toxins, minoxidil (Rogaine and it’s generics) is super toxic to both cats and dogs in very small doses (Like, residue quantities) but has a month+ delayed effect so a lot of pet deaths attributed to it go unreported. Like it’s bad enough that if you or anyone you’re close with has a pet you shouldn’t be using it at all.
Just looked that up, crazy. Had no idea and just stopped using for other reasons.
In Australia a lot of people looking to avoid SLS use Grants.
I still want fluoride but not foaming stuff. I had a friend super into the alternatife natural everything attitude and he ended up with a mouthful of cavs cuz these toothpastes dont have any effect on that practicwlky speaking
I want to see more results from people trying tooth seal. It’s a cool concept but not common.
I buy this “hello” stuff that comes in orange tubes
Growing up, one of my friends used salt, but I have no idea about its effectiveness.
You sure it wasn’t baking soda?
I am not sure, but I think that I saw my friend dip their toothbrush in salt. This was nearly 50 years ago.
Isnt that for mouthwash?
I use an SLS free version of Sensodyne.
Wats it called?
Idk which one i have but you can go to the Sensodyne website and filter by SLS free to see the options.
I just started using David’s toothpaste as I got a really bizarre and difficult to diagnose gum reaction that may be due to SLS or flavoring sensitivity. I really like it as it has a subtle flavor, comes in recyclable metal tubes, and is made in the US (California I believe). It’s fluoride free but uses nano hydroxyapatite which is shown in some studies to be more effective at enamel repair than fluoride compounds. I still use a fluorinated mouthwash and our water is fluorinated (I’m clearly not an anti fluoride person at all). The toothpaste itself works well, my teeth feel clean after brushing. My only real complaints are that it’s a little pricy (though now that I have a flavor I like I can order in bulk and save on shipping) and that I have to use more than my SLS containing toothpaste to have enough to really brush fully (but that’s true of any SLS free choice).

You are missing floride which is important to teeth health. There are other ways to get floride but this is a big one you need to replace somehow.
