There are certain body areas which we should only be using Australian and New Zealand products on and in our bodies.
This one has a decent amount of mint, that lasts well afterwards.

Not sure for the reason to add baking soda when you can add it to any toothpaste, go to the baking isle, place in the basket, pay for it, take it home.

Yup mild mint, what is less than mild, nearly non-existing mint flavour :

    Directions for use: Brush at least twice a day or after every meal for 2 minutes or as recommended by your dental professional. Children five years and under should use a smear of toothpaste and children six years and over should use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste.

    Sucks to be five years old or younger. In your face two-five year olds! You can only get a smear of toothpaste.
    Hooray! when your six years old, you can get a pea-sized amount of toothpaste. Hooray!

    • wisdomtooth on 27/07/2025 - 12:23

      It's the brushing, not pasting, that cleans. Non-natural toothpastes are full of synthetic chemicals and abrasive agents, that do more harm than good by nuking the bucal microbiome, and further inviting infestation of opportunistic bacteria.

                        AI Overview
                        In Australia, the recommended level of fluoride in drinking water is between 0.6 and 1.1 milligrams per liter (mg/L) or parts per million (ppm), according to the Queensland Health document and the NHMRC. This level is considered optimal for preventing tooth decay while minimizing the risk of dental fluorosis.
                        Fluoride in Drinking Water:
                        Recommended Levels:
                        The NHMRC advises that Australian states and territories should fluoridate their water supplies within the range of 0.6 to 1.1 mg/L.
                        Public Health Benefit:
                        Water fluoridation is a public health measure that helps reduce tooth decay in the population.
                        Natural Fluoride:
                        While water fluoridation is common, some areas may have naturally occurring fluoride levels within this range.
                        Monitoring:
                        Water utilities and relevant health authorities monitor fluoride levels to ensure they are within the recommended range.
                        Fluoride in Toothpaste:
                        Concentration: Toothpaste typically contains a higher concentration of fluoride, often around 1-1.5 milligrams per gram, or 1000-1500 ppm.
                        Purpose: Fluoride in toothpaste helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities.
                        Usage: Fluoridated toothpaste should be used as directed, with appropriate amounts for different age groups.
                        Considerations:
                        Fluorosis:
                        While fluoridation is safe, excessive fluoride intake during tooth development can lead to dental fluorosis, characterized by white lines or spots on the teeth.
                        Individual Needs:
                        If you have concerns about your fluoride intake, consult with your dentist or a public health professional.
                        Water Quality:
                        If you are concerned about the quality of your drinking water, contact your local water provider or health authority.

    Years ago I used this stuff…it set my teeth back 😬 alot. I now use fluride toothpast AND buy mouth wash Fluroguard (different than typcial Listerine).

    Anyone thinking about using this or similar, please reconsider and do some reading and research.

    My partners neices and nephews have had their teeth ruined before the ago of 10 because their mother didnt use fluride toothpaste. They'll live their whole life with tooth issues, which snow balls into whole body issues because their mum "felt" fluride was bad for them….

        Plenty of other factors like their parents would affect being thick. Toothpaste would be the least of the worries (which isn't ingested and spat out).

        People are probably worried about chlorinated water supplies but it's better than bacteria. Everything will kill you. Red and processed meat is carcinogenic and cancer causing but people don't care about that.

              Claims… no one. The claim, rather, is that:

              1. Fluoride retards cognitive development in children (it literally lowers IQ); and
              2. It kills symbiotic bacteria in the digestive tract, that would otherwise outcompete opportunistic bacteria and parasites, thus inviting infection and inflammation.

        AI Overview
        Yes, Australia adds fluoride to its public water supply to help prevent tooth decay. This practice, known as water fluoridation, is a widely adopted public health measure endorsed by organizations like the World Health Organization and Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). Over 80% of Australians benefit from fluoridated water.
        Water fluoridation has been a part of Australia's public health strategy since the 1950s. The primary reason for adding fluoride is to reduce the incidence of dental cavities, a common health problem in Australia. Organizations like the Australian Dental Association (ADA) and the Australian Medical Association (AMA) also support water fluoridation.
        The practice involves adjusting the fluoride levels in drinking water to a concentration that effectively combats tooth decay while remaining safe for consumption. The NHMRC has reviewed the scientific evidence and found no reliable evidence of harm from water fluoridation at current Australian levels.
        While most of Australia's major cities have had fluoridated water for decades, some smaller communities may still be unfluoridated. For more information about fluoridation in your specific area, you can contact your state or territory health department.

        • ninohax on 27/07/2025 - 20:46

          You missed the point. Its the over exposure of fluoride which makes it potentially harmful. Toothpaste made back in those times assumed that there is no other daily source of fluoride intake but that has changed now but the toothpaste companies never took that into consideration and continued with their same old formula.

          AI Overview

          Toothpaste with fluoride is often criticized—especially in countries where fluoride is already added to the drinking water—because of concerns about fluoride overexposure, which can have health risks. Here's a breakdown of the key reasons:

          🔹 1. Fluorosis Risk (Especially in Children)
          When fluoride intake is too high during tooth development (usually under age 8), it can cause dental fluorosis—white spots or streaks on teeth. In more severe cases (rare), it can lead to brown stains and pitted enamel.

          Sources of fluoride: If someone drinks fluoridated water, uses fluoridated toothpaste, consumes processed foods made with fluoridated water, and takes fluoride supplements, the cumulative dose can exceed safe levels.

          Even swallowing small amounts of toothpaste daily adds up for children, which is why child-specific toothpastes often have less fluoride and come with "pea-sized amount" warnings.

          🔹 2. Skeletal Fluorosis (Rare but Serious)
          Long-term, excessive fluoride intake can lead to skeletal fluorosis, a condition that causes pain and stiffness in joints and bones. While rare in developed countries, it’s more of a concern in areas with naturally high fluoride in groundwater.

          🔹 3. Thyroid and Neurodevelopmental Concerns (Debated)
          Some studies and health advocates argue that excess fluoride might affect thyroid function or neurodevelopment, especially in children. A few observational studies suggested possible links between high fluoride exposure and reduced IQ, but the evidence is not conclusive, and dosage levels in those studies were often much higher than what’s typically found in fluoridated water or toothpaste.

          🔹 4. Informed Consent & Overmedication
          Critics also argue from an ethical standpoint:

          When fluoride is in both water and toothpaste, it becomes hard for individuals to control or limit their total fluoride intake.

          People may feel they’re being "medicated without choice" if they already get fluoride in their tap water and then again through other products.

          🔹 So… Is Fluoride Bad?
          Not inherently. Fluoride is proven to reduce cavities and is widely endorsed by dental associations worldwide. However, the concern is about total exposure, especially:

          In countries with mandatory water fluoridation

          For young children

          For people already consuming a high-fluoride diet or living in high-fluoride areas

            -2

            @ninohax: That's alright, fluoride and chlorine in water would vary depending ob the city or region.

            Either way it's a tiny amount and not dangerous or otherwise. Why don't you keep asking your AI a bit more and ask how much is fluoride is considered harmful? You are not dead, sick or retarded yet if you're posting this info for us :).

            Get some blood tests to actually know what your levels are if you're worried (and don't eat your toothpaste!).

            • wisdomtooth on 27/07/2025 - 21:07

              @G-rig: Not every ingested — or injected! — substance is detectable in the blood — especially minerals, like fluoride — as they're quickly deposited in the tissue. And that's precisely the problem; it's not excreted.

          Here:

          Despite differences in exposure and outcome measures and risk of bias across studies, and when using group-level and individual-level exposure estimates, this systematic review and meta-analysis of 74 cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies found significant inverse associations between fluoride exposure and children’s IQ scores.

          Taylor KW, Eftim SE, Sibrizzi CA, et al. Fluoride Exposure and Children’s IQ Scores: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. JAMA Pediatr. 2025;179(3):282–292. doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2024.5542

          And here:

          "The best way to prevent cavities in children is by avoiding excessive sugar intake and good dental hygiene, not by altering a child’s microbiome. For the same reason that fluoride may kill bacteria on teeth, it may also kill intestinal bacteria important for a child’s health,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H.

      Toothpaste is serious business.

      Showing your age a bit now, do people still say that..

      The term "boomer" as a shortened, informal, and often derogatory reference to "baby boomer" (a person born between approximately 1946 and 1964) gained widespread popularity relatively recently, particularly with the "OK boomer" meme.
      While the term "baby boomer" itself dates back to at least 1963 (and the concept of a "baby boom" to 1939 or 1951), the abbreviated "boomer" used in the dismissive sense became prominent around late 2019. This was largely fueled by a viral TikTok video and subsequent media attention.
      However, the use of "boomer" in a more generalized, out-of-touch context had been seen on platforms like 4chan as early as 2015 and Reddit in 2009.
