Clean Beauty: Benefits of All-Natural Toothpaste for People & the Planet
We put toothpaste into our mouths every single day - multiple times! But do we really know what’s in our toothpaste? At Orie Dental, we’re passionate about finding ways to use plant-based, non-toxic ingredients - especially when it comes to products we consume daily.
If you’re curious to learn more about natural toothpaste and its benefits, we’ve got you covered in this blog.
What is natural toothpaste?
Generally, natural toothpaste is made without ingredients that are included in many “big brand” toothpaste brands such as parabens and artificial sweeteners. However, there aren’t strict guidelines as to what is “natural” - so we recommend looking at ingredient lists to ensure you’re comfortable with the product you’re using.
Benefits of natural & organic toothpaste
Our natural toothpaste not only fights gingivitis, mouth ulcers, and bacteria but also is made to make you feel confident about what you’re putting in your body. See below for reasons to make the change to natural toothpaste today.
-
Sensitive-Teeth Friendly
If you have sensitive teeth, natural and organic toothpaste will keep your teeth clean without the pain.
-
Fight Bacteria, Mouth Ulcers, and Bacteria
Prone to canker sores? Bad morning breath? Natural toothpaste may help you. Many big-brand toothpaste brands contain Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which is known to be linked to canker sores. Natural toothpaste is generally much gentler.
-
Super Clean Feeling
Of course, your toothpaste should make you feel cleaner from the inside out. Natural toothpaste can get all the cleaning and fresh-feeling benefits - without reliance on chemicals and synthetically-sourced ingredients.
If you want to brush your teeth naturally, 4 ingredients to avoid
Be mindful of these four ingredients if you want to keep your toothpaste natural and worthy of your mouth and self-care routine.
-
Aspartame
Artificial sweeteners like Aspartame are typically MUCH sweeter than real sugar (200 to 600 times!). Studies also show they stimulate taste buds, affect your hormones, and even slow your metabolism.
-
Sodium lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
As mentioned above, SLS is known to trigger canker sores, and even potentially irritate skin and eyes.
-
Xylitol
While Xylitol is tolerated by some digestive systems, others experience gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
-
Triclosan
Studies show that triclosan — often found in hand soaps, toothpaste, and hand sanitizers — has been linked to hormone disruptions. Also, it may cause bacteria to adapt to its antimicrobial properties, which could create more antibiotic-resistant strains.
