Naturally Soothing Fluoride Toothpaste, Fresh Mint, 5 oz (1 Count)

I have oral planking planus and it helps a lot. Very mild mint that doesn’t burn my mouth

UPDATE: I had my follow-up 6 month appointment with my new dentist and my pockets are all 2MM or 3MM (normal), my gums and teeth look healthy and they took x-rays which were good. So, after having a deep cleaning and "throwing the kitchen sink" at my gum/tooth issues, I am now out of the woods. The hygienist and dentist told me to keep doing what I am doing. :)THE BACKSTORY:I "may" not be the king of body inflammation but with grade 3 OA of the knees, GERD for 18 plus years and a gum issues diagnosis last year I am surely not the poster boy for "low inflammation candidate of the year". That being said I have read a lot about anti-inflammatory diets, supplements, creams etc. When I saw or sent my case file on "gum issues" to 3 periodontists and 2 dentists and there was a clear difference in opinions, I decided to say "shine it" and take matters into my own hands. The reason being is that I had no clear symptoms indicating I had periodontitis, everyone had very different pocket depth numbers and some said "maybe" gingivitis and others said "moderate periodontitis". This scared me like nobody's business so I read on how to fight gingivitis or periodontitis on any reputable dentist or periodontist's website and I took thorough notes and I literally "threw the kitchen sink" at whatever was going on with my gums. I am no medical professional and I am not recommending this since everyone's health situation is different, but given the contradictory 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th opinions I was getting I felt it was the best choice for me.One of the things recommended on those sites was aloe toothpaste. Thus I added it to my dental regimen. NOTE: after "tossing the kitchen sink" at my issue and having root planing and scaling ("deep cleaning") I saw a new conservative dentist with high regards in my community and told him nothing about my prior diagnosis beyond that I had done root planing and scaling. In his office, my pockets depths were very good with only 1 or 2 areas that warranted monitoring and he says my gums look healthy and is trying out seeing me every 6 months since our 4 months check-up went so well. Our last step is to do x-rays in the beginning of 2023 but he is happy with my current dental health so we'll see then if I am fully out of the woods.The PRODUCT REVIEW:-- very minty taste and sniff (peppermint)-- texture out of tube is firm-- paste gets very loose in the mouth when brushing and you may end up resembling a drooling basset hound so keep your mouth closed as much as possible; I prefer pastes that are not this loose because I am not the best at keeping my mouth closed so I may drool on my shirt-- there is no mention of how much aloe is in this product and it is listed LAST on the ingredient list which "usually" means it is the least amount in the product-- I like that it has fluoride and should gently remove surface stains as well-- Another plus is that it has the ADA accepted stamp on it-- I like that it is a gentle product and like my Sensodyne it does appear to be gentleTime will tell, but it appears it may be a good option in the aloe toothpaste arena which seems to be a bit more limited.

This is a nice gentle toothpaste, but the plastic is too hard, too thick, and it is hard to get the last third out of the tube. Can’t we avoid plastic also.

I like this toothpaste because it is not overly strong in flavor and doesn't burn my mouth and tongue too much like other brands do. I previously used Sensodyne Nourish toothpaste, but apparently the company quit making it. It has taken me a year to find something comparable (after trying many other brands, consulting my dentist, dental hygienist, etc. ). AloeSense Toothpaste is the one! It definitely is naturally soothing and the flavor is not too minty, it is just right in my estimation. The only negative for me is, it is a bit difficult to dispense the toothpaste from the tube because the paste is fairly thick and the tube design makes it harder to squeeze on to my toothbrush.

This toothpaste has a mild, appealing flavor. I would recommend it for sensitive teeth, although it is a bit pricey.
