Boka Natural Toothpaste, Fluoride Free - Nano Hydroxyapatite for Remineralizing, Sensitive Teeth, & Whitening - Dentist Recommended for Adult & Kids Oral Care - Ela Mint, 4oz 1 Pack - Made in USA

Game changer! My rashes and breakouts stopped as soon as I started this toothpaste. There’s a lot of toothpaste out there that claim they don’t have SLS in it, but they replace it with some thing just as harsh. This is absolutely a great toothpaste for POD! It tastes very minty like a regular toothpaste, it has the consistency of normal white Colgate, but maybe a little thinner, and doesn’t leave a film. I have noticed my teeth feel almost “squeaky clean“ like when you leave the dentist. Side note and food for thought, check your hair care and skin care products, including sunscreen and mouthwash. If it goes on or in your body, read the label. I think a lot of people forget that SLS is in their shampoo, which then runs down their face when they rinse it out. Also, familiarize yourself with its other names. Labels will sometimes list it as one of its other chemical names like SLES, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium lauryl ether sulfate, sodium dodecyl sulfate, sodium salt, oxyethylene, and so on. It’s found in 90% of body and hair care products. It builds up in hair, damaging it and causing hair loss. It can still be listed as all natural because it’s derived from coconut. Some products to check: Bubble baths Body wash Lotion Shave cream Laundry detergent (it stays in your clothes) Stain remover Carpet cleaner (rubs off carpet onto you) Mascara Foundation Primer Powders Tanners Dish soap Fabric glue Mouthwash Shampoo If it in a round about way touches your body, read the label. Trust me, because I learned the hard way. Since I started eereading labels and being conscious of what I expose my body to, my face and skin has improved drastically!

Love the taste also the fact that it can be left in your mouth after brushing and is safe to swallow.

Update: 06/23/2023 I’m not that much of a fan of the Cinnamint. I think I was lead on to think it would taste like cinnamon. It tastes like cloves. Nothing is wrong with cloves, but it was not what I expected going by the flavor’s name. I use these toothpastes exclusively. Update: 05/15/2023. Ive been using mainly Boka toothpaste since Oct of last year. I went through a stage of lowering my sugar intake and everything started tasting too sweet. You know how when you eat a perfectly ripe apple and it will taste sweet. Then you eat an apple pie and its even sweeter. If you go back and take another bite of the apple, it wont taste as sweet anymore. Well, I got rid of all the sweets and the Coco Ginger and Lemon Lavender became way too sweet for me. For a short stint, I went back to Sensodyne because I had it at home already. Then I eventually switched back to the Boka and tried the Ela Mint. Before making the switch back to Boka, I tried the Elims toothpaste. It wasnt sweet. Unfortunately, it taste like mild soap and doesnt clean very well. Ela Mint will be a great introduction to anyone just starting hydroxyapatite toothpaste. It tastes pretty much like a regular mint flavor, and I think it cleans the best out of the 3 flavors Ive tried. My teeth just feel smoother. It was also nice to not have an overly sweet toothpaste. The Ela Mint toothpaste tube that shipped came in perfect unlike the other two flavor. It was not covered in scuff marks nor looked like it was trampled over by an elephant. Im not sure why this flavor is treated so different. Also, I havent had a cavity in years since I found out the wonders of floss. Im going to exclude the small one that started when I went through chemo at the start of the pandemic. So roughly the 6 months (Im minusing the Sensodyne time)of using this toothpaste, I havent had any cavities nor gingivitis at my cleanings. I cant say that my teeth look whiter though. I am a coffee drinker. I use to smoke spliffs and drink coffee and I felt my teeth look whiter back then. In fact, people would comment on how white my teeth looked. However, I use to oil pull and just brush with a slurry of baking soda. Ill update again, once I quit coffee to see if this type of toothpaste makes a difference. Older Review Ok, we all know what Boka toothpaste is suppose to do. It’s suppose to help remineralize the teeth with nano-hydroxyapatite, and then there are a whole heap of benefits that come with that. Since no one is going to be able to see the benefits right away, let’s talk about things I can evaluate in the here and now. First, let’s talk about the taste. It actually tastes like sweet coconut oil and ginger. It has a health food and green living vibe to its flavor. It’s not bad, but I was surprised it seemed kind of herbally. The flavor is mild and enjoyable. My mouth tasted nice after spitting it out. I don’t think it messes with the flavor of food right afterwards. Second, the paste turns to liquid in the mouth. There is no foam. I needed more than a pea size to feel like I adequately covered all of my teeth with it. Since I switched my toothbrush and floss, my teeth typically feel really clean after brushing. My teeth continued to feel clean after using this one. It’s cleaning capabilities are still the same as others. For those worried about the abrasive used in this toothpaste, ask for the RDA ranking of this paste. Even Sensodyne Pronamel uses hydrated silica and it’s rda rating is below 40 for all but the whitening ones. Lastly, this felt good in the mouth. There was no burning. My tongue also didn’t feel numb afterwards. Overall, it’s a decent toothpaste at face value. It is very crunchy-granola in its brand values, as well as its flavor. What it purports to do makes it seem great, but it’s too early to see those benefits. I’d just have to take their word for it. Edit: I recently purchased the Lemon Lavender flavor off of Target because they are out of stock on the Boka website. If you thought the tubes off of Amazon looked streaked up and dirty, the Target ones have them beat. Oh my, my tube looks beat up. This is a sweet and soft flavor that dissipates to the flavor of nothing. It reminds me of lemon short bread cookies with a hint of lavender, but very soft. Its definitely not as sweet and intense like Tanners Tasty Paste in Vanilla Bling, but it still tastes good. I can see children liking the Lemon Lavender flavor much more than the Coco Ginger.

Ive been using Boka for over a year after hearing a dentist recommend it. I really enjoy it and prefer the mint flavor

Sticker shock, Ill admit. $12 for a tube of toothpaste hurts the wallet a bit. But I wont use any other kind of toothpaste now. Leaves my mouth feeling fresher and my teeth feeling clear than it would when I used a fluoride toothpaste.

Love this toothpaste but the cap is very hard to open.

Been using sensodyne for years and had extreme sensitivity after finishing Invisalign and trying to whitening my teeth a little. Tried this for a couple weeks. But for money this didn’t seem to work as well as what I had been using. So went back to my old standby. To be fair sensodyne isn’t completely resolving as it usually does but didn’t see need in my case to pay extra if not much improved.

Looked up the ingredients after reading some reviewers claiming of toxic ingredients…didn’t find anything of concern, so I bought it…and I’m glad I did. I tried a different brand and it left a weird, not so fresh breath taste, so that’s why I went in search of something better…and this was it!! Fresh breath, feels good, clean enough ingredients, and improving sensitivity…winning!! Even my 9 year old likes it, so I’m a happy mama…

I wanted a n-ha toothpaste and this one did not disappoint. Its helped with sensitivity and helped eliminate some surface level cavities.

For about a year, Boka Ela Mint was always out of stock when it was time to re-up on toothpaste. I ended up getting the ginger flavor, even though I was so-so on it without a basis for comparison. Finally got the Ela Mint, and it is fine, but a little strong. I prefer the Ginger and will order that flavor again when this runs out. I was slightly worried about the erythritol, but that recent study has a shifty methodology. People with those health conditions had elevated levels, but the body produces it and there is no indication that participants consumed it from other sources. I still try to minimize swallowing—it is toothpaste, after all. Edit: The Ela Mint flavor does not contain erythritol. Ginger does, but I stand by my preference.
