Aloe Dent Whitening does all the usual things you would expect from a toothpaste. It freshens your breath and it helps to prevent cavities, plaque and tartar build up. The difference is that it does all this without fluoride. If you want to know why this is important, I suggest you google “the dangers of fluoride in toothpaste” and completely freak yourself out!
Instead of fluoride, Aloe Dent uses natural ingredients which have the same benefits of fluoride but without the associated dangers. For example tea tree oil, which is antibacterial, silica which is whitening and Co Q10 for healthy gums.
Conventional, whitening toothpastes have tiny amounts of bleaching agents in them to whiten your teeth. The issue I have with this is, have you ever used bleach on your hair? What does bleach do to your hair? That’s right, it damages it, dries it out and generally ruins it! Do I want this kind of stuff on my teeth? No I do not. Aloe Dent is green in colour, which Mr Juicy is completely freaked out by! It’s also more of fresh taste rather than a minty taste. These things do take a bit of getting used to but, I am thrilled with the results I’ve gotten from using Aloe Dent.
As a side note, the photo I’ve posted here is of my teeth after brushing twice a day with Aloe Dent. The photo was taken indoors, in natural daylight and hasn’t been tampered with in anyway to adjust the brightness, exposure, contrast etc. I am not wearing any lipstick/balm/gloss etc. in this photo because I didn’t want it to affect the appearance of my teeth.
Has anyone else tried any natural toothpastes?
