They sell tom's fluoride free at walmart, but the price went up to 4.18.
Is there a cheaper brand out there?
I really do not want to make my own.....

It's pretty easy. Just get some aluminum free baking soda and real salt. Mix it together at a 6:1 ratio baking soda to salt. Keep it in a glass jar beside or under the sink. |

You can get fluoride free toothpaste and Wal-mart.
You can get it pretty much anywhere you buy regular toothpaste.

I don't see why not. I don't. Just make sure it's a natural flavoring. Mint oil would be nice. |

Tea tree oil is good if your not allergic to it. $4 is expensive for toothpaste? Your only supposed to use a drop of it, do you scrub the floors with it or something? |

yes it is. when its a tube thats half the size of most other toothpastes for double the price. especially when what they are mainly doing is taking out ingredients. |

I think we're all penny pinching, but $4 really isn't that bad. It's not like you have to buy it every week. One tube should last you at least a month w/ brushing twice daily even.
I've seen Toms go for $6-7 in some health food stores. Wal mart is giving you the best deal.

I have ordered my toothpaste online. Desert Essence is a calcium carbonate based toothpaste which is pretty good. They don't market non fluoride toothpaste as anti-cavity but calcium carbonate is used in supplements to strengthen bones and enamel from what I understand. I believe most of the non fluoride toothpaste out there is calcium based.

What type of non fluoride toothpaste is the best? I have used Dessert Essence and Natures Gate, but they still contain sodium laural sulfate which can irritate. What kind of toothpaste does Alex Jones use?

You just get your toothbrush wet, tap it into a box of baking soda and brush. Don't re-wet or you loose the baking soda.

You get calcium from your diet. You need more than calcium to build strong teeth. You also have to get enough phosphorus, magnesium, copper, silicon, vanadium, vitamins A C and D, all of which you get from a good diet and supplements if required. |

I've never seen Tom's of Maine toothpaste WITHOUT FLUORIDE at the walmart near my house. They only carry the kind WITH fluoride. But I get my Tom's of Maine fluoride free at CVS for about $4.20.

Good quality milk also has many of these... even my well water  It is still good to use a calcium based toothpaste—which much of the non fluoride toothpaste is—along with other ingredients to help the calcium bioavailability such as those mentioned. |

I'd steer clear of TOM"S. They got bought out by Colgate, purveyor's of fluoridated toothpaste. There are too many healthy, inexpensive, alternatives to a now suspect toothpaste like TOM's to waste your money taking a chance on it. |

If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, try their "Antiplaque Toothpaste". It contains all natural ingredients with no fluoride, no lauryl sulfates, no propylene glycol, and no saccharin. For a 6 oz. tube, it costs just $1.99! I've gone through 3 tubes in the last 6 or so months, and I'm quite satisfied with the results.  |

Haven’t used toothpaste in years…
And the teeth and gum have improved, at least per the comments of my dentist.
I take a mouthful of peroxide and brush… It’s the abrasion of the toothbrush that does the bulk of the work, with the peroxide killing the bacteria…
I know, I’m side-stepping the issue, dental care after a crash, I have no idea where to get peroxide without a store…
But, since it has so many other uses, I hope someone can point out a means to produce it at home?

It would be pretty much impossible to make it after the crash. Basically you dilute ozone (o3) into purified water (h20) and subject it to an ultraviolet lamp. I don't know how one could produce and concentrate O3 without a power source. And for ultraviolet, one would need extra ultraviolet bulbs a lamp. |

I started to use toothsoap. It's all natural. Plus glycerin is in most toothpastes. It leaves a coating that takes 21+ brushings to remove.

I use Tom's of Maine too. $4 a tube isn't that bad considering the tube is about the same size as any other kind of toothpaste and most of them will cost you around $3 a tube. It's good stuff.

Ive steered clear of Tom's since Colgate (was it colgate?) bought Tom's out a couple years ago. I like Natures Gate brand. Its all natural, no fluoride. Their Creme de Anise is yummy and tastes like absinthe (or black licorice) and their peppermint is the BEST. Both taste natural and not artificial. The main ingredient in their toothpaste is baking soda....  Which brings me to another point... you cant get any cheaper than putting some baking soda on a wet toothbrush. Try it for a week and you will notice cleaner and whiter teeth. |

I know you said cheap but, this is for people just interested in a good toothpaste. I have tried many and especially Tom's, they seem lackluster in the effectiveness dept. My local store carried Tom's clove, non-flouride toothpaste. The next time it came in, it was flouridated. I got hooked on the clove taste, so I decided to try a toothpaste called "Vita-myr" Zinc plus. I thought I was crazy to pay $6.95, but I took the plunge to find a toothpaste that worked to keep my gums healthy. I love it and now will pay the extra money for it. It's definitely a luxury and I may get busted back down to baking soda soon. But it's awesome for now. My dental hygenist said she had nothing to do when she did my 6 month cleaning. I also have come to look at it like a health expense to avoid regular dental work. Here's a link to their web-site. http://www.vitamyr.com/ |
