Non Flouride ToothpasteAloe Vera Gel BenefitsNon flouride toothpaste is promoted by many 'healthy dentists' and dental care practioners as well as medical doctors. Here is what Wikipedia has posted on the subject: Fluoride in toothpaste In the US, the following is posted on tubes of fluoride-containing toothpaste: WARNING: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately. Ingestion of fluoride can produce gastrointestinal discomfort at doses at least 15 to 20 times lower (0.2–0.3 mg/kg) than lethal doses.[7][8] A 2-year-old, for example, may experience gastrointestinal distress upon ingesting sufficient amounts of flavored toothpaste. Between 1990 and 1994, over 628 people—mostly children—were treated after ingesting too much fluoride from their toothpaste. Gastrointestinal symptoms appear to be the most common problem reported."
Once I personally became aware that I was usuing a product daily that had a warning to contact poison control - I began to search for options of non flouride toothpaste or flouride free toothpaste. I now use Aloe Tooth Gel every day and it is flouride free.
Gum disease is a also a problem for many of us in our adult lives, and painful gums can cause chronic pain. Prescription anti-biotics are typically prescribed once the gums become infected. Aloe vera gel is a 100% natural product that can treat and cure gum disease. It is an excellent herbal remedy for gum disease. So every time I brush with my aloe based toothpaste, I get a nice treatement for my gums.
