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.
