Tooth Builder SLS Free Toothpaste (Stops Tooth Sensitivity) Prevents Canker Sores, Cavities, Perioral Dermatitis, Bad Breath, Chapped Lips, 4 oz (16 Ounce (Pack of 4), Unflavored)

I believe that this Squigle Tooth Builder Toothpaste and Bone Solid by Country Life were the two most helpful of the natural remedies that actually did repair a tooth that the dentist said (months ago) might need a root canal AND crown. It tastes fantastic too, and my teeth always feel so clean. I will always use this toothpaste from now on because I really want to keep my teeth healthy so this never happens again. WHAT HAPPENED I had a broken (rear upper) tooth for a while and it never bothered me until I had ice cubes in my mouth one hot day. Within a week I needed a crown for it. But the temporary crown they put on did not insulate the upper tooth well enough and I had severe pain while waiting and waiting several weeks for the permanent crown to arrive. Those ice cubes also touched a lower tooth that same day. And when the dentist examined it later with magnifying glasses he said it was cracked in 3 places. Here is what I did for the double toothache... (All of the following are from good, natural supplement companies made from real food sources.) In the first place, you must know that through all this, no Topicals gave me pain relief for more than 5 minutes. NOT Clove Oil, NOT Orajel Severe, nothing. So I looked around for different things that might help as I was literally taking so many Ibuprofens and Tylenols that I had to keep a record of every pill I took so I wouldn't damage an organ. I randomly took different natural pain relievers (listed below) between the Ibuprofens so I wouldn't have to take another so soon. And although I am very grateful for the pain relief (because the Ibuprofen did work better than anything else, so I took it the most often) I did experience some hair loss, memory loss, fatigue, severe dependency migraines, and an abscess on my upper arm as a result of so many Ibuprofens over the several weeks that I took them. (After this was all over, I found all of those Ibuprofen side effects listed on a site.) DIETARY CHANGES THAT HELPED I only changed my diet a little bit according to the websites that say to eat less grains, and more meat and vegetables, and butter, etc. So I started eating less bread, more fish, more chicken breast, more butter (supposed to be organic, I think though)... SUPPLEMENTS THAT HELPED I believe the first three items below actually repaired the lower tooth. The last time there was any pain in it was the middle of September 2014. Update: It is now January 2015. 1. Squigle Tooth Builder Sensitive Toothpaste: I brush my teeth (very carefully now, never want to slip and poke a tooth) but vigorously and for a long time, focusing on that lower tooth and any other tooth that feels the slightest bit sensitive while brushing my teeth. I can just imagine the nourishing tooth rebuilding ingredients working their way into my teeth. 2. Bone Solid by Country Life: One of the few calcium supplements that is assimilated properly by the body (instead of contributing to calcium deposits in the shoulders, for example, like the cheap calcium carbonate can) and the other minerals and vitamins in the capsules help with proper assimilation of all the minerals that the teeth need. 3. Nature's Way Vitamin D3 - One 5,000 I.U. capsule a day: Helps with Calcium assimilation, and many websites say is about the most important supplement for the teeth. 4. Bernard Jensen's Gelatin Capsules: Also helps with tooth remineralization and rebuilding. 5. Vitamin Shoppe: BioCell Collagen II w Hyaluronic acid Capsules: Same thing. 6. Acupuncture: I had never had Acupuncture in my life, but I was desperate so I tried it twice, and after the second appointment (at a different office in a different city while out of town) the Acupuncture did reduce the amount of pain pills I needed. Plus, I have only had one migraine since (which was caused by MSG). JANUARY 2015 UPDATE: Only two or three headaches since last September. 7. Chinese Herbs for pain: I do not know any place to get these besides an Acupuncturist, or maybe a Chinese Herbal Store. I got mine at my Acupuncturist Office. 8. Solaray Butterbur Extract: Really helps with headaches and other pains. 9. Vitamin Shoppe Quercitin w Bromelain: Totally healed a tendonitis episode I had for a week once after doing reverse forearm curls too heavy, so I thought, why not try it for this too? No harmful side effects, and I will not leave a stone unturned when using nutritional remedies for something as serious as this was. 10. Vitamin Shoppe Turmeric w Curcumin: Good for inflammation. 11. Rinsing mouth vigorously with cayenne pepper, sea salt, and clove oil (or separately) in water. I found that warm water made it worse, so I started using a temperature between cool and luke warm and found that was perfect. When rinsing or gargling with cayenne pepper in water, always inhale with the glass not near your face before starting. Don't need to stir with a spoon, just swirl a dash or two of Cayenne in a glass half full of water or less. Black pepper and chili powder are irritating for the system, but Cayenne Pepper is the perfect rinse and gargle, plus drinking it is healthy too. It's naturally antibacterial, helps the circulation, and has no sweeteners of any kind. Also, IF I WAITED TOO LONG TO TAKE A PAIN PILL, I FOUND THAT THE CAYENNE PEPPER RINSE PROVIDED THE FASTEST PAIN RELIEF. I'm still taking the tooth builders, but thankfully the pain has been gone since the middle of September. I also take 1500 mg of sustained release Vitamin C morning and night (good for gums), plus Vitamin Code Multi Vitamins, Osteo Bi-Flex (nothing has ever helped my back more), and a few things that restored my hair last year, and restored it again after the ibuprofen caused hair loss. NOTE I was going to try the fermented cod liver oil with special butter oil that you read so much about on line, but it never arrived. I'm glad it didn't. Now I know that the above items did the job on their own. IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFO FOR YOU Whatever brand of supplements you get, always remember that any company that makes anything with dL-alpha Tocpheryl Vitamin E could be making all their vitamins synthetically, which the body does not utilize. Supplements sold by Health Food Stores are usually made from actual food sources, and supplements sold in Pharmacies, Drug Stores, or questionable websites could be made synthetically. The Vitamin Shoppe (stores and site) is my favorite because of their selection, local stores, and website, low prices, and rewards program. Also remember: Pharmaceuticals have a lot to lose if people start using products made from food sources that are IN-expensive have NO Harmful Side Effects and Really Work Very Well!! So, reps from those companies often post reviews with a lot of untrue information. When you see a radically negative review on a Natural Remedy made by a Good company, always check that reviewers' other reviews to see if they write reviews regularly. I have been studying natural remedies since I was about 19 in 1979, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that nearly any health condition can be totally improved with a simple change of diet and/or natural supplements and natural remedies. And these natural remedies have absolutely no harmful side effects 99% of the time. I have had several successes myself, seen dramatic improvements in others close to me, and have heard many reliable stories over the past few decades. WHY DON'T MOST DOCTOR'S TELL PEOPLE THIS? In up to 8 years of medical school, doctors get only 25 hours of nutritional education. This is still true today, even though nutrition is vitally important to preventing some serious health issues, and alleviating others. For example the ONLY cure for a Candida yeast infection (which can happen to masculine males too) is entirely diet and natural remedies. Same for adult onset diabetes. In addition to their lack of education in these matters, doctors are sometimes bombarded by pharmaceutical representatives to sell their pills (no matter how many negative side effects they may have). They even offer doctors big vacations if they meet a certain quota. And then nutritional remedies, which absolutely do work (with no harmful side effects) are put down by the media, while pharmaceutical pills get free advertising. This is getting better, but still occurs. Do a Google search for... doctors get 25 hours of nutritional education and doctors get vacations for selling pills I found the following on a site somewhere once... ADVERSE REACTIONS TO SUPPLEMENTS, VACCINES, & PRESCRIPTION DRUGS IN 2008 SUPPLEMENTS 1,080 adverse events, of which 672 were considered serious... (What the FDA considers an adverse event can be "anything from a concern that a supplement isn't working to a serious illness following consumption.) VACCINES 26,517 adverse events, of which 3,923 were considered serious. PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AND "THERAPEUTIC BIOLOGICS" 526,527 adverse events, of which 275,421 "had serious outcomes." The prescription drugs figures may or may not include vaccines adverse reactions, since vaccines are technically therapeutic biologics.

I never write a review this fast but MAN am I impressed with this product. I'm telling everyone about it! First I have to tell you that I have always had excellent oral care habits: brush and mouthwash twice per day, floss once per day, dentist visit every 6 months. Unfortunately my whole family members suffer poor enamel. As a child I sustained several cavities requiring fillings. At the time, amalgam (silver) fillings were the only affordable option. It's also worth mentioning that I have suffered in the past from cold sores / fever blisters, canker sores, dry mouth, excessive tongue plaque from Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) and bad morning breath due to being a mouth breather. The reason I have changed my oral care routine is that I have had several problems after two decades with this metal in my mouth and I needed to replace those with the new composite (white) fillings. Since replacing most of my metal fillings, I have experienced sensitivity to cold, hot, and pressure while eating and drinking. I have gone back to the dentist a few times to get my bite checked and have them do minor adjustments to the fillings, however it has not resolved my sensitivity completely. Doing some research and being pretty holistic myself, I ran across several products that have worked for me in less than one week! I will share my my regimen and tell you that it's solved 90% of my problems. I use this product, Squiggle Tooth Builder Toothpaste with my Oral-B electric toothbrush and floss every morning when I wake up and every night before I go to bed. I use this toothpaste exclusively. I also use a tongue brush and scraper to remove the tongue plaque with a little bit of toothpaste on it. In the evenings I use the essential oil based mouthwash for sensitive teeth as I notice it doesn't dry my mouth out. I use the Colgate alcohol-free mouthwash in the morning because it leaves my mouth more fresh with strong mint flavor. I included the carmex lip balm in my photo because I notice it decreases the frequency of cold sores. Since doing this regimen, I have nearly eliminated all sensitivity and noticed my teeth being more opaque (also appear more white without the use of fluoride or whitening toothpaste) with less plaque buildup on my tongue and teeth. I also noticed that my gums appear much healthier! I am so glad that I found Squigle toothpaste and I'm looking forward to my next dental visit. 1 million stars from me!

I had to have some dental work a few months ago to rectify a failed, old root canal and its subsequent infection. Some of the dental work cost me some tooth enamel and resulted in some sensitivity. I decided to try this after reading through the Reviews and I'm glad I did; this WORKS. No more pain and no more cold/heat sensitivity. Unlike conventional toothpastes, this one contains some ingredients that MAY help remineralize teeth (calcium, xylitol). I've been using it by brushing, then doing a 3 minute mouth rinse with crystalized xylitol like this: Now Foods Xylitol, 2.5 pound bag . I just use 1/4 teaspoon & crush it between my teeth, then swish for 3-5 minutes & spit it out. Not only has the sensitivity disappeared, my teeth are visibly whiter. Research xylitol & you'll understand how this works (or leave a comment & I'll explain). The longer you can brush (and the "easier"), the better it is for your tooth enamel, giving your enamel exposure time to these minerals. I'd also suggest taking minerals internally; I use something called tri-salts (calcium, potassium, & magnesium) Tri Salts 200 gm and it seems to have helped, as well. This toothpaste, in my opinion, seems to be a good hedge against demineralization. The flavor's fine (relatively tasteless) & it appears to be beneficial for gum health, too. Highly recommended! --- 4/2/15 UPDATE: Just an FYI to those of you (like me) working to rebuild tooth enamel: keep in mind that in addition to using this external solution AND internal minerals (and Vitamin D3) to assist, you want to remember that the "rebuilding" enamel will take time to harden and reconstitutes itself slowly. As I've learned through experience, I STRONGLY SUGGEST that you avoid acidic juices like tomato, grapefruit, and orange (and lemonade) for a few weeks until your tooth sensitivity subsides. Give the mineral matrix time to re-establish itself and don't overbrush (i.e. too much pressure or very hard bristled toothbrushes). Good luck!

This is a good toothpaste. That said, I wouldn't use it as my only / primary toothpaste. What it's really good at is counteracting high-sugar foods and killing bacteria. I used to get gum infections about once a year no matter how well I brushed and flossed and scraped my tongue, and my breath was not always the freshest either. But since using this toothpaste several years ago (even though I don't use it as my everyday toothpaste), I don't have infections or bacteria breath problems. The toothpaste leaves teeth nice and slippery / smooth. But I guess this is true of any toothpaste high in xylitol. What seems to be relatively unusual though is that this toothpaste doesn't seem to have a lot of added flavorings. It's just the sweetness of the xylitol, which coincidentally kids really love. (Not all kids like mint, but they all seem to love the sugary taste of xylitol.) I like to use this if I want to clean my teeth but don't want the toothpaste to interfere with the flavor of foods I might be eating later. (On the flip side, the toothpaste won't neutralize strong flavors like onions or garlic.) There are 2 main reasons I don't use this as my only toothpaste. The first is that it doesn't scrub away stuff quite as well as other toothpastes. Often after using this toothpaste (rarely after using other toothpastes), I notice a bit of stuff left in hard to reach places. The second reason is that for all the potential problems with fluoride, I think (based on trial and error) my teeth simply do better with a bit of fluoride -- so my primary toothpaste has fluoride. One last note is that the toothpaste -- even when ordered in bulk -- is relatively expensive. I can afford it, but honestly, it probably doesn't make economic sense to use it more than once every few days -- since its benefits last a while.

I've been using this for over a month and I can't imagine using any other toothpaste for the rest of my life (unless they somehow improve upon this one). I have noticed a significant decrease in my tooth sensitivity. My mouth feels clean in a gentle way, not burning the microbiome and irritating tissue with unnecessary things like baking soda or essential oils. I love the sweet taste from the xylitol without some crazy flavor. I honestly feel like I can see signs of remineralization happening. I have been on a natural tooth healing journey for years and this is the best toothpaste I've found. I've made things at home and tried very expensive herbal products that didn't help. This product is worth the money. I'm very glad they have a kid's version I can use with my toddler too. He loves brushing his teeth now.

I bought it because I dread brushing my teeth with minty toothpaste that burns and leaves a minty flavor in my mouth. The insides of my mouth cheeks, tongue and lips are always sore and too tingly after brushing. I moved onto the kid flavors (not mint, like strawberry and bubblegum) and still dreaded brushing my teeth. Thinking about it made me gag. I also don't find it pleasurable to brush with baking soda. I only brush my teeth once a day because of this (pssst don't tell my kids, but I'd sometimes skip a day and use chewing gum). And another reason for buying it is because I have a child on the autism spectrum who fights us with brushing everyday. It's exhausting. When he could verbally tell us what the problem was, it was the taste. We'd tried all the kid flavors, baking soda and then the super mild Sensodyne. It has continued to be a struggle. We got this paste (from "Express Health" fulfilled by Amazon) in the mail today around noon. I couldn't wait to try it. Holy moly! There was no offensive or strong taste (if any...very, very slightly sweet to me), it foamed as other toothpastes, I ended up brushing for the full two minutes and then rinsed my mouth. There was absolutely no pain, no burning and no irritation on my lips. I then called my ASD kiddo to the bathroom to have him brush his teeth. After several minutes of cajoling him he finally did it. He was so scared to try something new. And I could see in his face that he was pleasantly surprised. He had braced himself for something horrible and once he started brushing, I saw his shoulders, arms and hands relax. And then I asked him how was it....he gave me a thumb up (his very good signal) (thumb horizontal means okay, thumb down means not okay at all). We will need several more sessions to see how he copes, though as he also has sensory issues (the brush itself). But for certain we can rule out the obnoxious tastes of other pastes. So that is a huge leap forward for us. Huge! I know this is corny, but I was so pleased with how it turned out to be such a non-event for myself to brush...how easy it was...how I know I will not dread brushing anymore...I smiled...corny, but true. I am blessed with strong enamel and have never had a cavity, but it is so nice to know that I'm doing the right thing by brushing my teeth at least twice a day. YAY! Oh, and my lips...don't know yet, but I'm hoping this will also allow my chronically chapped lips to heal.

No cavities! I've been using this toothpaste for awhile now. Tis expensive though.

This review is not about whether it works for people with sensitive teeth. I don't generally have sensitive teeth, but had a couple waves of my bottom teeth hurting and decided to try it. (I think now that it was a specific sensitivity to chicken broth soup with some lime in it.) In any case, I'm only giving it three stars, because my teeth didn't feel clean in the morning. I don't know if I had bad breath, but it felt like that. I realize this may be wrong. This toothpaste has no scent, no doubt because a person could be sensitive to a scent, and it may be that it is the scent that makes one feel like your breath is clean. I do have sensitivities to acids on my gums - with regular toothpaste if I don't get it entirely washed out of the corners of my mouths, I will end up with a rash there, for instance. I'm also prone to mouth sores (canker sores inside the mouth), which I've discovered for me is the result of coffee, orange juice, or chocolate. I don't get any or they go away in a few days without pain, if I avoid these, particularly if I stick to water. Anyways, it was interesting that Tooth Builder in my mouth felt no different from swishing around some mashed potatoes (not that texture, but my point is no sensation of tingling). So I knew I wasn't showing that allergy/sensitivity to it. Nevertheless, it didn't prove to be needed for me, and I returned after about 4 days to a regular toothpaste for the feeling of clean. I think it's also worth pointing out that the tube does not give all the ingredients. If it's using baking soda, for instance, I've heard that's harsh on the enamel of teeth. Anyways - my two cents and a tip for those who get canker sores.
