The older and wiser I get over time, the more I become mindful of what I put inside of my body. From the foods I eat to the products I put on my skin, it’s more important than ever that I start paying attention to the ingredients that in the items I use.

Parenting has taught me a lot about myself. I have learned I will do just about anything to get my kids to brush their teeth. I’ll sing, I’ll dance, I’ll even hand out cash bribes when things get desperate. Brushing teeth can be a daily battle at my house. Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry Natural Toothpaste is my not-so-secret weapon. I can honestly say that one of the BEST things that has ever happened in the history of my kids brushing teeth is Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry Natural Toothpaste...

When I committed to trimming my waste in 2016, I happily replaced my plastic toothbrush with one made from bamboo and started making my own deodorant. I did not, however, commit to DIY toothpaste - I’ve had too many issues with my mouth over the years. What I did, instead, was switch to Tom’s of Maine. Why Tom’s?

Safe teeth whitening is something I advocate for as a dentist. Many of my patients have asked me about using whitening toothpastes to help whiten their teeth at home, and I always tell them to be extremely careful. That’s because a lot of whitening toothpastes use abrasive additives to basically scrub the stains away. That may work in the short term, but the stain isn’t the only thing being scrubbed away – the enamel goes bye bye, as well. That was before. Now I tell everyone about Tom’s of Maine Luminous White Whitening Toothpaste for safe teeth whitening.
