  All for Australian made products, and the price is pretty decent. Although would still strongly recommend using toothpaste that contains fluoride - it's backed up by solid evidence to reduce rates of cavities.

  Not to discourage anyone from buying these, but a suggestion is to maybe use them in alternating fashion - ie. use a fluoride toothpaste for some days and this one for others.

  Used to have the same issues with the Marvis toothpastes, which were fluoride-free AND super overpriced. Now they contain fluoride I think… so they're just overpriced.

    I had to go off toothpaste with SLS in it to reduce my mouth ulcers (which worked great), but most of them end up having no flouride. The alternative being, of course, to buy a mouthwash that has flouride in it.

    I have been using the Red Seal Whitening (with charcoal) that has been a good and relatively cheap option, but again, no flouride that comes along with the no SLS.

    Today I went into Chemist Warehouse to buy some more Red Seal plus some flouride mouthwash, but ended up walking out having purchased the Ecostore Whitening Toothpaste that has flouride in it as well as no SLS, so it might be a winner! Hope it's good.

      I'd be careful with anything containing charcoal - my understanding is this 'cleans' by creating micro-abrasions, which permanently damage/remove your tooth enamel. I personally stay away from it.

      • 

        Doy on 30/06/2023 - 18:18

        Probably not a bad shout. If this new Ecostore Whitening I've got is good, I think it'll tick all the boxes for me then.

        I need to point out that the main purpose of any toothpaste is abrasion. To clean your teeth.

        Still, from what I read there's little benefit from charcoal in toothpaste, so it's merely a fad.

    I do what you said, alternate.

    While fluoride does prevent cavities, it is also a proven neurotoxin (with studies showing mixed levels of risk), and it can lead to fluorosis (which I actually have, but is too late to prevent).

    Mild fluorosis is quite common, affecting about 1 in every 4 Americans between the ages of 6 and 49.

    Dental cavities are largely a result of our modern diet and lifestyle. So while what you said is technically true, it's probably better to focus on fixing our diet than consume more of a neurotoxin in order to prevent cavities.

    You can neg vote if you want but it's all factual ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    • 

      Doy on 30/06/2023 - 18:18

      I wonder if this is more around consumption (like drinking it in water) compared to having it on the teeth for a bit before rinsing away.

      Also the fact that fluoride is added to our drinking water which many are just not aware of. And of course fluoride will be touted as safe by the ADA but I do not believe them one bit considering how capitalism rules the roost in America.( Just have to look at the fact that the ADA does not disclose its list of corporate funders)

        I'm not sure which of my factual statements you doubt, but ok… Sources that fluoride is a toxin. Source that cavities are a modern dietary phenomenon. Source that fluorosis is common. Source that fluoride prevents cavities.

        EDIT: It's also your own job to fact check what you see on the internet. If you think most people are going to provide sources for you, you're gonna have a bad time.

          @besttraveltech: Regarding your edit, no, the burden of proof lies with the person making claims. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

          Your links consistently say that fluoridation is safe. Did you even read them? There is no evidence of neurotoxicity in the general population from flouride toothpaste.

          What many people, including you it seems, fail to understand is that “the dose makes the poison”. Many foods contain arsenic and cyanide but not at toxic doses. If you ate a heap of flouride then it’s toxic, but in normal use in water and dentistry it’s nowhere near toxic.

          Flourosis occurs from birth to 6 years old. I doubt there are many toddlers on Ozbargain

            @Mallard:

            Regarding your edit, no, the burden of proof lies with the person making claims. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

            You're on an internet forum, not on a debate team.

            Your links consistently say that fluoridation is safe. Did you even read them? There is no evidence of neurotoxicity in the general population from flouride toothpaste.

            Yes, I did read them. Fluoride is a known neurotoxin. "Fluoride may cause neurotoxicity in laboratory animals, including effects on learning and memory (Chioca et al. 2008; Mullenix et al. 1995)."

            How much you need to see measurable effects is in question. "children in high-fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ scores than those who lived in low-fluoride areas". The source is somewhat irrelevant as long as you're absorbing it (and your mouth is highly absorbent), though other factors such as age are also important.

            What many people, including you it seems, fail to understand is that “the dose makes the poison”. Many foods contain arsenic and cyanide but not at toxic doses.

            I do know that, hence I said I alternate between fluoridated and non-fluoridated. Also, see my last response.

            If you ate a heap of flouride then it’s toxic, but in normal use in water and dentistry it’s nowhere near toxic.

            Didn't you just accuse me of not reading the sources?

            "A recent report from the National Research Council (NRC 2006) concluded that adverse effects of high fluoride concentrations in drinking water may be of concern and that additional research is warranted."

            Don't forget that while "the dose makes the poison" is true, it's also true that there may be a negative effect long before it becomes measurable in population studies.

            Flourosis occurs from birth to 6 years old. I doubt there are many toddlers on Ozbargain

            I bet there are quite a few parents though, don't you?

  Thanks for posting. Worth a try for mouth ulcers (no sls) and general oral health (tea tree oil).

    There's no hyperinflation in Australia. You're hallucinating, ChatGPT. It's just inflation and pretty mild compared to some other countries. Still bad, I know.
