ToothHugger Guide: Toothpaste
Toothpaste is a concoction of ingredients to clean.
Tips
- Try avoiding flouride (especially for kids).
- Use a pea-size amount.
- Best toothpastes have minimal, natural ingredients.
- Prefer toothpaste with calcium carbonate, which helps re-mineralize tooth structure.
- Avoid sodium urealyl sulfate, because it’s linked to cancer.
