Someone had talked about an alternative fluoride toothpaste not too long ago and Tom's of Maine came up.

Suffice to say... it's no safer to use than normal fluoride toothpaste.
I don't know what it costs in the US but here it's about $8 a tube. People in Maine swear by it but then.... well it's Maine you know.
I use this stuff because it's fluoride free but I wasn't aware of all of this and I thank you for sharing, Xanth.
I should have been tipped off by the fact that it's sold at Wal-Mart.
hehe no problem.
I'm actually considering using nothing but baking soda from now on... but then I'm sure we'll probably find something horribly poisonous about that one day too. LoL
