Toothpaste - Orange & Clove (100ml)

The Apothecary Orange & Clove Toothpaste is tasty, edible and wholesome toothpaste with a sweet and slightly spicy taste that is especially popular with children and those with sensitive teeth. It cleans gently and effectively; inhibits the build-up of plaque, promotes the remineralisation of teeth and leaves breathe fresh. It's boosted with minerals and trace elements including the homeopathic tissue salt calcium fluoride, the only truly safe form of fluoride, which occurs naturally in mineral water.

The Apothecary relies on the wisdom of nature to provide good, clean wholesome toothpaste that won’t harm you or the planet, will clean your teeth brilliantly, and has many benefits for oral hygiene and general health.

Food for thought

We brush our teeth twice daily, applying toothpaste inside our mouths where it comes into contact with the delicate membranes of our mouth, gums and tongue, rich in blood vessels and neurons, as well as our precious pearly whites. Unavoidably, some toothpaste gets swallowed, especially by children. We should think very carefully about what we put into our mouths.

“Ordinary” toothpastes are awash with dubious and downright dangerous ingredients, such as SLS and other detergents, harsh abrasives such as silica, toxic propylene glycol, and hazardous sodium fluoride, among others.

There are natural alternatives, although many still contain a few questionable ingredients and you should always read the label carefully. The Apothecary Toothpastes and Tooth Powders have been developed over years of trial and research and brings you all-natural, completely benign, delicious products that:

• clean teeth beautifully,
• promote tooth remineralisation,
• fight cavities,
• inhibit the build-up of plaque,
• banish bad breath and help heal mouth sores,
• contain a safe and natural form of fluoride,
• have benefits for overall health and well-being,
• are truly good enough to eat,
• and come in a range of tasty flavours.
