8 Toothpaste Alternatives That Get Teeth Clean NaturallyThese natural products will give you a sparkling smile and peace of mind |
We can all agree -- brushing your teeth isn't exactly rocket science. Each morning and night we clean our choppers, while rarely considering the effects our toothpaste might have on our health. However, for something that's such an important part of our daily routine -- and so easily accidentally ingested -- we should probably be putting a bit more thought into what we use for oral care.
Case in point: The Food and Drug Administration recently banned an antibacterial chemical called triclosan from soaps, but this same ingredient is still allowed in some of our favorite toothpastes. Why, you ask? Well, according to the New York Times, the teeth whitening benefits outweigh the risks, even though the safety of this ingredient may be questionable.
Feeling uneasy about the tube sitting on your bathroom counter? Then you may want to start brushing with one of these top natural toothpastes. They're made from ingredients you can feel good about, so you can rest assured that your daily brush session won't end up doing more harm than good.
