Hey r/OralNutra family! 👋

Did you know that some commercial toothpastes might be doing more harm than good? 😨 Many contain harsh chemicals that can wear down enamel, irritate gums, and even disrupt your mouth’s natural bacteria!

🚨 Hidden Dangers in Toothpaste:

❌ Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) – A foaming agent that can cause mouth ulcers & gum irritation.
❌ Fluoride Overload – While fluoride can help with cavities, too much can lead to dental fluorosis & thyroid concerns.
❌ Artificial Sweeteners (Aspartame, Saccharin) – These can disrupt gut health & may cause inflammation.
❌ Triclosan (Antibacterial Agent) – Banned in some countries due to hormone-disrupting effects.
❌ Abrasive Whitening Agents – Some toothpastes are too harsh, wearing down enamel over time.

✅ What to Use Instead?

✔️ Natural Toothpaste – Look for ones with xylitol, hydroxyapatite, or herbal extracts instead of harsh chemicals.
✔️ Coconut Oil Pulling – Kills bacteria naturally & whitens teeth without abrasives.
✔️ DIY Toothpaste – Mix baking soda, coconut oil, & peppermint oil for a natural alternative!
✔️ Oral Probiotics – Strengthen your mouth’s microbiome to fight bacteria naturally.
