Tom’s toothpaste is a great alternative to traditional toothpaste. It’s fluoride free and avoids many additive chemicals.
Last year, through the social media management website Klout.com, I received a “perk” from Tom’s of Maine. They sent me a sample of their toothpaste and mouthwash, along with a free toothbrush. And just so you know, I am under no obligation to receive the sample or talk about this company. I get no additional benefits for talking about the product or company.
Anyway, I tried their toothpaste several years ago and thought it was foul. They must have changed their formulation because this last time I tried it, I thought it tasted just fine and would totally use it again. The flavor I samples was Tom’s of Maine Whole Care Fluoride Toothpaste Spearmint. However, if you prefer gel to paste, they don’t make one.
Their Long Lasting Wicked Fresh Cool Mountain Mint Mouth Wash was fantastic. I’ve made the switch to non-alcoholic mouthwash and this is one of the best tasting ones I’ve found.
Not only does Tom’s provide fluoride free and fairly chemical free products, they also stand for something worthwhile, including being socially and environmentally responsible.
