With staying true to this website and my intention to make going green easy and affordable, I’ve outlined the four toothpastes and the one toothbrush line that I feel are great alternatives to the traditional oral care products.
Toothpaste: I researched one of my favorite sites, www.cosmeticsdatabase.com, to determine the toothpaste products that ranked low on the site’s toxicity scale. (A score of 0-2 is considered low hazard.) I wanted to narrow the list to provide you with easy to find and natural toothpaste products that fell into the lower scale. The four brands of toothpaste that meet the criteria are: Jason’s, Kiss My Face, Nature’s Gate, and Weleda. Most are available at any health food store, major shopping center, and online through a variety of distributors.
Toothbrush: To make it easy on you, I found one tooth brush that fits the bill. The brush of choice due to its accessibility, drum roll please, is by Preserve. The cost is affordable (just under $3) and can be easily purchased at local Target stores or online at www.amazon.com. There’s a great video on this tooth brush at http://www.recycline.com/. Their site evens outlines how you can recycle your old toothbrush back to them to be used for park benches, decks, and other plastic goods. To read more about their recycling program, go to www.recycline.com/recycling.html.
How about teeth brushing for toddlers?
My toddlers have both liked Tom’s Natural Toothpaste for Toddlers. They seem to enjoy the Strawberry flavored option and just the overall process of brushing. Preserve also makes a toddler toothbrush so this is a good companion to your natural and fluoride free toothpaste for your children.
