What ingredient in common toothpastes' combat cavities and will this product provide that protection?

Hey Joe, Great question. Most "common" or mainstream toothpaste use fluoride as the primary active ingredient to combat tooth decay. Fluoride is simply a chemical that helps harden the enamel on your teeth, so that the bacteria in plaque have a harder time eating through the enamel, causing a cavity. The ADA (American Dental Association), states in their own literature that fluoride helps prevent about 30% of cavities....not 100% or 90%....30%....so the perceived benefit of fluoride has been exaggerated, but there still is some benefit there. The problem with fluoride is that it is a very strong chemical, and every time you brush your teeth, this chemical is absorbed through your gums and enters your bloodstream, making contact with the rest of your bodily organs. Every tube of fluoride toothpaste is required by law to have a warning label which reads "Contact Poison Control if more than brushing amount swallowed"....you wont find this warning label on Davids. Many consumers are making the personal health choice to avoid having another chemical enter their body, so have chosen to avoid fluoride due to the potential health risks to the rest of their body. With Davids, instead of using chemicals, we use a very finely crushed powdered limestone, which acts a a natural abrasive to help remove the plaque from your teeth....plaque is what causes cavities, so by removing the plaque, this aids in working to prevent cavities. As long as you brush your teeth regularly, and work to remove the plaque, you dont need to put another chemical into your body, to artificially harden the enamel on your teeth. Also, Davids uses xylitol which is a natural sweetener, but studies have also shown that xylitol aids in the remineralization of the enamel on your teeth. Alot of Dentist are onboard with this, and are recommending to their patients to find a toothpaste with xylitol. Also, Davids includes some baking soda, which helps neutralize the acids in your mouth, which kills the bacteria that forms plaque...again working to help fight against cavities. Also, most mainstream toothpaste uses Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), which is the ingredient that makes their toothpaste foam up....check your shampoo bottle...it's usually the main ingredient in shampoo....basically it's liquid soap...it's what causes the burning sensation with most mainstream toothpaste and causes many people to get mouth sores. This is another ingredient that many health minded consumers are looking to avoid.....Davids is also SLS free...we use a natural alternative derived from coconut oil. Every aspect of Davids is focused around maintaining optimal oral health without the need of harmful chemical ingredients. Yes...the ingredients cost a lot more to make Davids, but it's what makes Davids a truly premium natural & effective toothpaste.

I am concerned about the 2% ingredients from Japan. I have read about about the high levels of radiation on their lands and ocean. Any worries?

Paula, If this one ingredient was being manufactured right next to the where the radioactive leak took place, then this might be a concern, but that is not the case. Did you know that there are over 1,300 sites in the United States designated by the EPA as Superfund sites for toxic cleanup....does that mean everything coming from the USA is toxic? All Davids ingredients come from top tier suppliers that meet very stringent test requirements, so rest assured your fears are for nothing.

How does this toothpaste compare to himalaya neem & pomegranate fluoride-free toothpaste? why is it better?

Both Davids and Himalaya are Fluoride Free & SLS Free. Davids places a large emphasis that they use 98% USA ingredients. Davids does this because they can get the highest quality ingredients in the United States, and also to support American jobs! The mint oil Davids uses comes from the Pacific Northwest which is considered the highest quality mint oil in the world and the flavor is exceptional. Himalaya on the other hand is company from India, and the toothpaste is made in India. Also, Davids uses a recyclable metal tube and comes with a free tube roller vs. Himalaya uses a plastic tube which is not eco-friendly. Lastly, Davids uses ingredients to naturally whiten your teeth, which Himalaya does not. I would say, is it important for your to support American jobs? Do you care about the sustainability of the packaging? Do you want whiter teeth? I would recommend trying Davids and comparing yourself....Davids is an exceptional toothpaste in almost every way!

When it says that 2% of the ingredients are sourced from Japan, which ingredients are those?

Most toothpaste companies use large amounts of imported ingredients...they will bring in mint oil, calcium carbonate, silica,etc. for China/India/Malaysia...mix it up in their USA factory, and stamp Made in USA on their packaging, but there is very often a high % of imported ingredients in much of the "Made in USA" toothpaste. At Davids we went out of our way to use USA Origin ingredients, because the quality is the highest, but also to support American Jobs! For competitive reasons we do not make public the source of specific ingredients.

Best one I have found!

I've tried a lot of natural toothpaste over the years and this is by far my favorite! Happy with the ingredients, flavor, the quality and efficacy.The tube is metal so I do use a roller tool/clip to make sure I am getting all the product.My only con is the price. It's a bit expensive.

My favorite toothpaste!

I have been using David's toothpaste for a couple of months now and I'm very pleased with it. My teeth are noticeably smoother-feeling and plaque build up is a lot less. Possibly a bit whiter as well. It's very gentle on the gums and all the flavors I've tried so far (4) are decent. The spearmint flavor is a bit intense, but I'm very sensitive to peppermint so others may not experience it that way. The herbal citrus mint flavor is even more intense (has peppermint); but okay if you like peppermint. The strawberry-watermelon one is very nice; a delicate fruit flavor and not too sweet. Orange vanilla is an interesting flavor; a little odd at first, but it grew on me and now I quite like it. Taste is such an individual thing; best to try them out. The tubes are metal, so you might want to order a metal key to wind up the tubes as you use them (they don't come with them anymore). Makes it easier.

Good design & Great paste

This is my second tube. I love the taste, and the ingredients are not chemical-rich. I had constant pain in my upper gum by my molar that I thought was irritation but it receded and has gone away once I began using this. The metal tube is really great because I don't have to worry about plastic shedding or microplastics in my mouth. You shouldn't roll it, or it will crack. I like to flatten the back and work my way up the tube. Treat it with respect and it will treat you great.

No tool? False advertising

Well I would leave 5 stars however I’m a bit skeptical if I received the real product or a counterfeit knock off version. I ordered last year, loved it, ordered a couple weeks ago the same kind again plus a different version to try and neither tubes came with the advertised silver metal key to roll up the toothpaste. The very first time I ordered it came with in the box and now neither have it although the description says it should come with. I’m either getting a knock off David’s or am misled or they were not put into the boxes. Was I supposed to keep the very first one I ever received and reuse it with every tube? I was under the impression it gets recycled with the tube. Other than that I enjoy the quality, it cleans well, isn’t very messy at all, gives a good lather. I like it a lot. My kids do too. It’ll be hard to roll this without that little tool though.

Tastes and works GREAT! Davids Health Sciences made a perfect delivery of a great product!

A couple months ago I purchased my first tube of David's fluoride free toothpaste. I wanted to see how well it worked. I'm happy to say it worked great! The mint isn't over-powering like most toothpastes, but it does a fine job freshening my breath. After a few days use I noticed an improvement with both my teeth and gums. When I used 2/3 of the tube I chose to try a different flavor, this time we tried the Citrus Mint. I like it just as much as the original flavor!

Amazing toothpaste

I love this toothpaste. I used to struggle with sensitivity and also most commerical toothpastes left a film in my mouth. I switched to this brand and have no sensitivity nor the gross film. I've had perfect dental checkups twice a year for a few years since using David's. While pricier than the average toothpaste, it's so worth it. Teeth feel clean, mouth is fresh, I'm often complimented on my white teeth, and I love there are no extra harsh chemicals. Please never stop making this!!
