Editor Review

Rated a 7

Tom's of Maine Natural Clean & Gentle Care Toothpaste helps banish dry mouth. Period. The thin paste inventively substitutes lightly foaming glycyrrhizin (from purified licorice root) for the drying foamer found in conventional toothpastes, sodium lauryl sulfate. And while flouride fights cavities, xylitol and aloe effectively soothe dry mouth (genius!). If you're looking for long-lasting, fresh breath however, look away; the fruity, palatable flavor fades within an hour. (Also, be warned: Coaxing last bits of product out of the easily punctured recyclable aluminum tube is a challenge.)

      Another great Product

      by clouddancerss (25 reviews)
      This is super, and all natural. I don't understand all the ins and outs of stuff they put in toothpaste, but i do know that i like natural, and like toothpastes that make my mouth feel like I've been at the dentist. May 30, 2008, 5:27 am

      I haven't totally made up my mind, but.........

      by julesboots (20 reviews)
      I have very sensitive teeth, they do not hurt using this toothpaste, so that's great. I like the fluoride free option, so my daughter can use it (she can't spit yet), so that's also great. I think I like it being sls-free if it is indeed healthier, but it doesn't foam the way regular tootpaste does, and that has had to take... some getting used to. May 7, 2008, 9:07 pm

      I have a really really sensitive mouth and teeth, so I tried switching to a more natural toothpaste. This was perfect! It was very gentle, and after using it for a few weeks, all the canker sores in my mouth were gone! Plus, it didn't bother my teeth! It works just as well as a chemical-y toothpaste, but tastes better and i...s a million times more gentle. TRY IT!!! Not tested on animals =) June 6, 2008, 10:30 pm

      Used this for years

      by elbg85 (9 reviews)
      I have difficulty using regular toothpaste because the preservatives give me canker sores. Since I started using this toothpaste 5 or so years ago, I have not gotten any more canker sores. I love the clean feeling this leaves in my mouth. One thing to watch out for...make sure the flouride content is comparable to that o...f other toothpastes. Some of the Tom's toothpastes have lower flouride. It's also a little more expensive, but worth it! November 5, 2009, 7:03 pm

      I like the unique flavors that Tom's offers. My teeth and mouth feel clean as with any toothpaste. It's kinda pricey compared to non-natural brands but it's nice for a change of pace. No complaints. August 9, 2009, 1:40 pm

      Excellent !!

      by cityblondechic (18 reviews)
      My son loves this. It's a non-offensive flavor that he can tolorate and that helps me keep him in the habit of brushing, something virtually impossible at times. And if you shop around, the price is very competative considering it's a 'health food' type of product and those are usually more then 'conventional' items. So I s...trongly recommend Tom's of Maine, not just for this toothpaste, but for many of their other things as well. April 17, 2009, 8:10 am

      ICK.

      by jadenbru (17 reviews)
      I do NOT like this product. My Dad used to buy it when I was younger, and I never liked it then. I tried it again recently and still don't. The paste tastes gross and leaves a film in my mouth. I don't like the taste or the texture of this toothpaste, and my mouth never feels fully clean afterwards. I would only use it in a... pinch! April 17, 2009, 8:08 am

      This toothpaste is okay although I still prefer my Arm and Hammer. It does have a fresh taste to it. April 16, 2009, 10:21 am
