DEFINITLY!
After reading more about how the form of flouride used in our water and toothpastes is actually the toxic, more readily available and cheaper version , I will not buy any mouthrinse or toothpaste with it .
I now use Jason's non-flouride toothpaste. Burt's Bee's also makes non-flouride and also non-sulfite toothpastes-- with all natural ingredients.
I also use an Aryuvedic type--that costs about $4.50 a tube-- and has licorice root added and peelu extracts. Tastes very good as well.
Waleda also makes several non-flouride toothpastes using Sea salt , various herbal extractions and baking soda.
Ironically, my teeth are so white anymore, that people are asking me what I use- or if I use those whitening strips. If I mention the toothpastes, they lose interest, because people are afraid of change.
It is what it is-- My teeth were always yellow when I used flouride toothpastes--even the whitening type. My gums were never as healthy either.
