What it does
A 4 oz fluoride toothpaste from TheraBreath, made without sodium lauryl sulfate and aimed at bad breath, in a mild mint flavor.
- Fluoride toothpaste with sodium chlorite, which the maker calls an oxygenating compound aimed at odor causing bacteria
- No sodium lauryl sulfate, so it foams far less than most toothpastes
- Mild mint flavor rather than a strong, spicy mint
- Sweetened with xylitol and sorbitol, with no saccharin
- No artificial colors or flavors, per the maker
A reasonable pick for people who want a mild tasting, SLS free fluoride toothpaste from the brand behind the TheraBreath rinse. The trade-offs are a low foam, gel like feel that takes getting used to and a higher price than mainstream drugstore pastes.
