Let’s keep this one simple. The one ingredient toothpaste should have is fluoride. End of debate.
If you insist on using some so called holistic herbal crap without fluoride your teeth will rot pretty quickly. That’s your choice. But please don’t inflict your naivity on your children’s teeth. What have they done to deserve that?
I see almost zero decay in kids these days but every once in awhile along comes a kid with trashed teeth. There are two explanations. Either they never brush their teeth, or they never brush their teeth with fluoride toothpaste. The parents feel racked with guilt as the poor child needs half a dozen fillings. Bad news all round.
Fluoride toothpaste was introduced in the 1960s. Anyone born before that generally has had every single molar heavily filled repeatedly. A mouth full of metal as a result of unchecked dental decay. There are exceptions but it’s usually it holds true. Is that clear enough?
