Forum Thread: Toothpaste without the Toxins

Tom's of Maine has a great line of natural toothpastes that are usually easily available, but they were recently purchased by Colgate. The website does say that they have maintained their same standards and seek out organic farms that have sustainable harvesting. This would be my best bet, but always look at labels to be sure and let me know if you hear of anything better!

Just a note - I'm currently using Tom's as I am prone to canker sores. I looked at the ingredient list and it still contains sodium lauryl sulfates, which aggravate them. The only toothpaste brand I've found that doesn't is Rembrandt's Canker Sore one, but I'm pretty sure they're not organic. Also, I discussed my switch with my dentist and she mentioned that her other patients who use Tom's come in with a lot of gum problems. 

here's a snopes rundown on whether sodium lauryl sulfate causes cancer
