I’m still looking into holistic dentistry, and in doing that I’ve come across remineralization toothpastes. My friend, Jess, recommended Dr Collin’s ‘Restore’ Fluoride free toothpaste. Though she’s very knowledgeable about lots of things, I know that before doing anything at all, recommended by anyone, I need to research it myself. So I set off to find the to make sure they were safe, prove, and okay for pregnancy and breastfeeding too since I tend to be doing both of those fairly often. (grin)
It says it contains Novamin, which looks like it’s also the name of a psychotropic medication. I’m doubting they’re the same thing, but I need to make sure.

So far I’ve seen glycerin, which I’ve heard is not good if you’re trying to remineralize your teeth. And SLS, a foaming agent that’s been linked to cause cancer? I think I’ll pass for now. For right now I’m just using baking soda.
Funny how being healthy so often overlaps with being green and frugal.

Hey, I just linked to the article on fluoride from fb and found this. We’ve been going without fluoride as much as possible. At least in our toothpaste. We now have a zen filter but I don’t think that eliminates it but it’s something until we can afford Berkey.
A friend of mine just started making and selling an awesome remineralizing tooth powder. I also add a drop of peppermint oil to my brush bc I’m used to that strong flavor. :) I’m pretty sure you can find her. If not email me and I can get you in touch with her. Her business started booming pretty quickly. It’s so good!
Thank you for the educational articles!
