Moving to a natural dental hygiene routine was something I was very worried about doing initially. Our teeth are very precious and we do not want to end up with fillings, losing teeth or gum disease. Therefore, opting for a bamboo toothbrush, a mineral based toothpaste and flossing less regularly can feel like a big risk.

However, two years after switching to a natural dental hygiene routine my teeth are the best they have ever been and during my last dental check up I was told by Dr Tyler 'you have the best teeth that I have seen all week!'.

In this blog post I am going to share with you the best natural dental hygiene products that I use and recommend as a Nutritionist.

Plus, don't forget to check out our last blog post 'Natural Dental Hygiene Routine: Safe, Simple & Effective' to learn about my dental hygiene routine that I do each day to optimise my oral health.

The Best Natural Toothpaste

Georganics Fluoride Free Mineral Toothpaste

My top recommended toothpaste is the Georganics Mineral Toothpaste. I have personally used it for the past two years and my teeth are the best they have ever been. I have also got all of my friends and family onboard. We love this toothpaste for a number of reasons:

1. It does not contain glycerine - Most toothpastes contain glycerine which is used to create a barrier over your teeth that stops the minerals within your teeth escaping. However, it also stops minerals entering your teeth that can help them to become stronger.

2. It does not contain foaming agents - These can irritate your gums, reduce saliva production and disrupt the balance of bacteria within your mouth.

3. It does not contain fluoride - Your teeth do not naturally contain the mineral fluoride and it therefore isn't something you need so long as you are getting the minerals that they do require. Long-term teeth made up a mix of fluoride and other minerals are weaker than those that are not. Fluoride is also linked to other health problems, including skeletal, neurological and endocrine (thyroid) conditions.

4. It contains lots of minerals - The Georganics mineral toothpaste contains a number of important minerals, including calcium, silica and magnesium that your teeth need to remain strong. It is even thought that by using a mineral rich toothpaste that these minerals may help to repair damaged teeth when used longterm.

5. It contain oral health supportive ingredients - Not only does it contain important minerals, the Georganics toothpaste also contains other oral health supportive ingredients, such as, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil that is packed with Vitamin E, helping to support gum health and Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil that can help to reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, preventing cavities and bad breath.

6. Lots of flavour options - You can choose between peppermint, spearmint, tea tree, activated charcoal, orange and strawberry (children's option).

7. Subscribe and save - 1, 3, 6 month and yearly delivery options that give you additional savings and mean that you never go without.

The only thing to note about mineral based toothpastes are that they can clog your sink. To avoid this we pour a kettle of almost boiling water down the drain each week, or you can do this when needed.

Georganics Natural Fluoride Mineral Toothpaste

Switching to a fluoride free toothpaste can be too big a leap for many people, so I wanted to share with you the Fluoride Mineral Toothpaste by Georganics. This toothpaste contains naturally occurring fluoride (calcium fluoride).

1. Natural fluoride - The fluoride ions are released slowly compared to other types of fluoride generally used within dental care products. This reduces the risk of toxicity to both your health and the environment.

2. Lots of flavour options - You can choose between peppermint, activated charcoal, orange and strawberry (children's option).

3. Subscribe and save - 1, 3, 6 month and yearly delivery options that give you additional savings and mean that you never go without.

The Best Natural Toothbrush

Truthbrush Manual Bamboo Toothbrush

I have tried lots of 'natural' toothbrushes and my favourite is the bamboo toothbrush by Truthbrush. I love this toothbrush because:

1. The wood feels smooth - Many bamboo toothbrushes have a texture that does not feel particualy nice on your lips, tounge and gums. The Truthbrush is smooth and does not feel alot different to a plastic toothbrush you may be used to.

2. The handle does not rot - Truthbrush has a coated handle that stops the end from rotting and going mouldy.

3. Coloured handle - The Truthbrush has lots of different colour handle options. This not only allows you to personalise your toothbrush (I love the pink option) but it also stops you from mixing it up with other people in your household.

4. Shaped bristles - I really like a toothbrush head that is not flat. The bristles are shaped to wrap around your teeth and enable you to use the edges to brush into all the grooves.

5. Medium/small head - I have a small mouth and like a toothbrush that does not have a huge brush head. A smaller brush head no matter the size of your mouth is great as it will enable you to reach every tooth.

6. Subscribe and save - 1, 2 and 3 month delivery options that give you additional savings and mean that you never go without.

7. Company ethics - 1% profits to environmental nonprofits and B-Corp.

The only thing to note is that the bristles can come lose over time as the wood natrually shrinks. I have had a few times when a small patch of bristles have come away leaving a bare spot.
