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

Do I brush my teeth every single night? Nope, never have been consistent with that. But I am an avid user of this toothpaste specifically the mint flavor for roughly two years now. Background: I have been cavity prone since my very first trip to the dentist, multiple cavities per visit, for over decade. My last two visits to the dentist since switching toothpaste- NOT a single cavity! In fact the last time my dentist told me “keep doing whatever you are doing”. Never thought I’d hear those words.

For decades Ive suffered from skin peeling on the inside of my mouth after brushing my teeth. I thought it was a normal part of brushing your teeth since Ive experienced it for so long. I just assumed that it happened to everyone and was a sign that the active ingredients in the toothpaste were doing their job and cleaning your mouth. It was only after a dental hygienist took a huge piece of gooey and disgusting dead skin out of my mouth and showed it to me that I realized that this wasnt normal. She asked me what toothpaste I used, and I told her Crest 3D White. She told me to try using toothpastes free of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) since thats a common irritant. I tried Arm & Hammer Essentials toothpaste since its SLS free, and while it helped a bit, I was still experiencing quite a bit of skin peeling in my mouth. I thought this was the most I could hope for and resigned myself to always suffering from this problem for the rest of my life. Fast forward several months and I randomly came across an article online written by a dentist which included the top 5 toothpastes that he recommends. And in that article he recommended Boka toothpaste as his top choice for a fluoride-free toothpaste and went on to explain that the active ingredient in Boka toothpaste was something called Hydroxyapatite - which has been the gold standard anti-cavity ingredient in Japanese toothpaste for decades. Ive never really been paranoid about avoiding fluoride, but I decided to give Boka toothpaste a shot since I figured that Japan seems to have pretty good health and safety standards in general. And so if they trusted Hydroxyapatite, then it was probably safe and effective. I also asked my dentist about it, and he gave it the thumbs up. I was so happy when I used it the first time and experienced ZERO irritation. No stinging, which I always experienced with normal toothpaste, and, most importantly, NO SKIN PEELING ON THE INSIDE OF MY MOUTH. I was thrilled, and surprised. I couldnt believe that I finally found a solution to this chronic allergic reaction to normal toothpaste that Ive been experiencing for my entire life, and only after one use! And so this toothpaste gets a 5 stars from me for that alone. To rate the other aspects of the toothpaste, the mint taste seems more mild and natural. And so thats a plus as well. But theres a couple of minor downsides. 1) its a bit pricey, but thats not a deal breaker for me since I only use a pea sized amount twice a day; whereas with other toothpastes I used to use about an inch of toothpaste. 2) the twist-off cap is slightly annoying since Im worried about dropping it and having to wash it. I much prefer the always-attached flip cap design on more mainstream toothpastes. And 3) I prefer the metallic bodies of old school toothpaste tubes since it makes it easier to roll it up as you use it and get every last drop out of it. But again, those 3 minor gripes arent enough to prevent me from giving this toothpaste 5 stars. Ill always be grateful for this company and a loyal customer for creating a toothpaste which cured a chronic health issue that I had been dealing with ever since I was a kid. Please never stop making it!

I’ve switched this to become my every day toothpaste. It comes in several flavors so I decided to try 2 to start off: the mint and the lemon lavender (which, by the way, is also very nice), trying to switch to all natural can be challenging but this made switching to a natural toothpaste more exciting, as I really wanted to try the different flavors. It doesn’t really foam up clean but you can def feel it deep cleaning! I’m not sure if it truly builds the enamel over time but I love the way it makes my teeth feel and look. It’s worth a try to see if it’s your style! For me it’s become an essential. Hope this was helpful!

One of the best alternatives to mint flavored toothpaste. Will buy it again. Highly recommended!

I really like the mint toothpaste

I have an allergy to Fluoride so I was looking for Xylitol toothpaste. This one has been really good. My teeth are whiter and my mouth is always so clean (with the help of an electric toothbrush as well). I will say the taste is VERY strong. VERY Minty. But I love it

I have a lot of trouble with brushing my teeth, because of sensory issues. Toothpaste flavor is one thing that can make or break whether or not I can stand to brush them for the full two minutes, or do a rush job to get it over with. Most toothpaste is too strongly minty, and kids flavors are too sickly sweet. This is perfect. Its a very light touch of orange and vanilla, just enough to keep me distracted without overpowering my mouth. And it doesnt leave the lasting aftertaste as well, so I can go and have coffee or orange juice or whatever right afterwards. Definitely be using this from now on!

This may be working IDK, but it does not leave a clean taste. I use regular toothpaste first.

I’ve gone through some of the other paste by boka, and really am enjoying this particular scent/flavor. When brushing, the reaction is refreshing and the aftertaste is of an orange creamsicle from my youth.
