Natural toothpaste can offer many of the same benefits you find with conventional products, while providing options for the type of ingredients you may want (or want to avoid). Tom’s of Maine natural toothpaste safely and effectively cleans teeth with no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives included. We offer natural whitening toothpaste, natural toothpaste with fluoride and natural fluoride-free toothpaste, so you can choose the best product for your needs and preferences.

Fluoride is often used as an active ingredient in traditional and natural toothpaste to help prevent cavities and tooth decay. Tom’s of Maine uses sodium fluoride and sodium monofluorophosphate in some of our natural toothpastes with fluoride, and , and we also offer natural toothpaste without fluoride.

We have always respected that no two individuals are alike, and there are a variety of reasons why an individual may choose to avoid an ingredient. When safe and practical, we have tried to provide options so people can select the product that is right for them. We have offered a choice of fluoride toothpaste and natural toothpaste without fluoride since the 1980s.

All Tom’s of Maine toothpaste is safe for use as directed, and we also offer natural toothpaste for kids. Ask your child’s dentist if you have questions about which product might be the best fit. For children who haven’t yet learned to spit, we recommend a fluoride-free training toothpaste.

Not a fan of mint-flavored toothpaste? Not to worry! We make natural toothpaste with other natural flavors. Try our Cinnamon Clove, Silly Strawberry or Orange Mango fruit-flavored toothpaste. And before you ask, yes, adults can use kids’ toothpaste!

We all love a bright white smile, but it’s important to whiten teeth safely. There are numerous ways to whiten teeth naturally, including using Tom’s of Maine Luminous White Toothpaste. Luminous White is a natural whitening toothpaste that works by removing surface stains with regular brushing.

Unlike some kinds of sensitive toothpaste that only numb pain, Tom’s of Maine Rapid Relief natural toothpaste for sensitive teeth blocks the pathways to sensitive tooth nerves to help seal out pain using a patented combination of arginine and calcium carbonate.

When children reach age 2 and older, it’s time to start brushing their teeth. It’s important to teach proper brushing habits and supervise kids’ brushing. For children who haven’t yet learned to spit, we recommend Tom’s of Maine fluoride-free training toothpaste. Consult a dentist or doctor for children under age 2.

Transition toothpaste is perfect for that age when kids have outgrown fruity or bubblegum toothpaste flavors, but don't yet like the strong mint flavors in many adult toothpastes. To help make the switch, try a transition toothpaste with a minty flavor that’s a little more grown-up but still subtle. Consult your child’s dentist to ensure they’re using the correct type and amount of toothpaste.

Yes, adults can use kids’ toothpaste. Natural toothpaste for kids contains many of the same ingredients as adult toothpaste, but sometimes with no fluoride or different fun flavors like our best-selling Silly Strawberry.
