Some toothpastes can simply feel a bit too harsh on the gums (that tingling sensation isn't necessarily a good thing) and can even taste a bit chemical at times. This all-natural option has a mild taste, while also being free of fluoride, triclosan and parabans. Talk about win-win.
Peppermint is pretty much the universal flavor of toothpastes -- but it's not your only option. Enter Marvis' toothpaste collection, which includes tasty twists on traditional mint such as jasmine mint, licorice mint, ginger mint and cinnamon mint. They'll leave your mouth feeling fresh while also pleasing your palate.
Instead of using detergents, abrasive materials or antimicrobials, like triclosan, in their formula, the makers of this toothpaste found a way to break down plaque on a molecular level so that there's no risk of damaging the enamel. Bonus for those with sensitive teeth and gums: Unlike other toothpastes, this gel-like product doesn't lather or bubble when mixed with water and saliva in your mouth
This powder scrubs away impurities and promotes healthy gums with a cocktail of salt, soda and prickly ash bark (which was traditionally used by Native Americans to preserve healthy teeth). Oh, and it leaves a pleasant cinnamon after-taste. Similar to solid toothpaste, just apply to your teeth and brush with a soft bristle toothbrush before rinsing.
You may be familiar with the old baking soda teeth-whitening trick, but who has time for that DIY option? Instead, try this formula that uses sea salt to give teeth a good, old, whitening scrub down. As an added perk, ingredients like organic blackthorn flower extract and myrrh extract disinfect and purify your mouth. Now that's something to smile about.
