Chocolate Toothpaste Better than Flouride

By Carolin 

Welcome back!

Choosing can be a real hazel. Most toothpastes are filled with unhealthy substances. Some are even so bad that they are marked “do not swallow”.

Then we have the sensitive fluoride question.
Fluoride is a toxic substance. It is not good for our bodies but it does make our teeth stronger and it lowers the risk of tooth decay.

The first time I tried non-fluoridated toothpaste it didn’t take long before I felt cavities in my teeth. So I change back to a fluoridated one and the ache quickly disappeared.

But I wasn’t ready to give up. Since a couple of months I’m using a natural, organic toothpaste with baking soda as active ingredient that this one is great. My teeth feel very clean, I don’t feel any tooth decay. I normally get tartar on regular basis but it totally disappeared since I changed to my new natural .

Soon there might be other options. Research has revealed that the cocoa extract is even more effective than fluoride in fighting cavities.
The the active substance theobromine helps harden teeth enamel, making users less susceptible to tooth decay.

Don’t get too excited. The chocolate will not taste like your favorite chocolate bar. But natural alternatives to fluoride are very welcome.

    There are many ways how to whiten our teeth, we can whiten our teeth using whitening products or go to dentist. Baking soda is good in whitening too, cause it have active ingredients to whiten our teeth.
