Toms of Maine Baking Soda Toothpaste

Tom's of Maine

Natural Anti-plaque Baking Soda toothpaste
Ingredients: Calcium Carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, glycerin, xylitol, sodium lauryl sulfate, myrrh, peppermint, carrageenan, propolis.
For years Toms of Maine pocked fun at Colgate and the other major commercial toothpastes for using artificial additives in their toothpastes. Now Tom's of Maine is owned by Colgate-Palmolive Co. who are trying to make up for lost market share by buying on the largest natural brands. Caveat Emptor. Most of their toothpastes contain fluoride, but they do have one or two which do not.

Pro's - Tastes and feels like a 'normal' toothpaste. Easy switch to a non-fluoride toothpaste. Baking soda leaves the mouth clean and helps to remove stains.
Con's - Contains sodium lauryl sulfate and Glycerin. Contains few anti-bacterial agents and won't help remineralize the teeth.
