For example – toothpaste. I have always used Crest – from my early childhood years, and still do to this day. It has been recommended by every dentist I have gone to, and I trust their recommendation. Now I see that there are plenty of natural and even organic toothpastes on the market. Besides wondering about taste, my question is, do these toothpastes work as well as the one my college-educated, experienced dentists recommend? Do I give one, or two, three… a try? Or do I draw the line and continue to use what has worked for me for the last – almost 40 years?

I am intrigued, and am sure I will gave a few of these natural toothpastes a try to at least compare. In looking for some, I have come up with these, and have summarized my thoughts on purchasing.

Tom’s of Maine – probably the most widely known natural toothpaste, and I have even considered using this in the past. This is on my must purchase list, and can picked up at most local drugstores.

Glacial Blue Tooth Oil – this one almost gives me the willies. I don’t know if I could stomach brushing with an oil. This is a blend of natural oils including peppermint, spearmints, and almond oils. Sounds like it may taste good, but not quite on my list due to the fact that it is an oil and the hefty price tag of $25 for 1 oz.

JASON NutriSmile Plus CoQ10 Gel Toothpaste – this is on my list. It sounds more like a “regular” toothpaste with some great tasting ingredients such as orange, cinnamon, and mint.

Fresh Umbrian Clay Toothpaste – from a wonderful beauty product brand comes a newer organic toothpaste made with umbrian clay. Clay in my mouth. I really don’t think that the benefits will outweigh my feelings on this one. Clay in my mouth, I just don’t think I could do it.

So, I guess I do need some recommendations.
