WHY DO I NEED A NATURAL TOOTHPASTE? More and more research is emerging about the impact of fluoride and other common toothpaste ingredients on both our oral and gut microbiome. As we use toothpaste everyday, we need a more natural solution that&apos;s microbiome friendly. WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS? <span id="isPasted" style="font-family: Inter, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">We are really proud that our toothpaste is composed of 100% natural ingredients. No artificial sweeteners, additives or preservatives, but added benefits of anti-inflammatory properties and probiotics. It is also vegan friendly. Here is the full list of ingredients: GLYCERIN, AQUA, HYDRATED SILICA, HYDROXYAPATITE, GLYCOLIPIDS, XYLITOL, CELLULOSE GUM, CALCIUM CARBONATE, MENTHA ARVENSIS LEAF OIL, STEVIOSIDE, MENTHOL, AROMA, MENTHA PIPERITA OIL, EUCALYPTUS OIL, LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS, LACTOBACILLUS PARACASEI, LIMONENE. ARE THESE INGREDIENTS SAFE?&#xA0; Yes, we&apos;ve sourced ingredients based on research from nutritionists and made sure all ingredients are safe to use. We also run stability testing on each batch of toothpaste.It&apos;s important to note that people may still be allergic to natural ingredients - you can find full allergen information here: <a href="https://help.gutology.co.uk/en-US/gutology-oral-care---allergen-information-425004" id="isPasted">https://help.gutology.co.uk/en-US/gutology-oral-care---allergen-information-425004</a> WHY HAVE YOU INCLUDED GLYCERIN?&#xA0; We&apos;ve included glycerin in our product to prevent the toothpaste drying out. You may find the below article interesting, written by functional dentist Dr Mark Burhenne, with whom we recently spoke on the podcast. <a href="https://askthedentist.com/should-i-avoid-glycerin-in-toothpaste/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; background-color: transparent; color: var(--main-primary); text-decoration: none !important;" target="_blank">https://askthedentist.com/should-i-avoid-glycerin-in-toothpaste/</a>&#xA0; 7 DAY FREE TRIAL&#xA0; If you&apos;ve signed up for a free trial of the toothpaste, you&apos;ll receive a 15ml tube which will last you for 7 days. After that you&apos;ll enter our auto-ship program and be sent a full 120ml tube after 7 days. It will automatically ship you a new tube every 30 days. You can cancel or amend your frequency anytime in your customer account or simply by asking us in the chat.&#xA0; WHAT ARE ORAL PROBIOTICS?&#xA0; We use two oral probiotics: Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Lactobacillus Paracasei. WHAT IS HYDROXYAPATITE? This naturally occurring mineral is what gives your teeth and bones their hardness and strength. Osteopathic studies have also shown how hydroxyapatite can strengthen and rebuild bone material and dental enamel &#x2014; which is also referred to as remineralisation &#x2014; without any side effects. WHAT QUALITY &amp; HOW MUCH HYDROXYAPATITE DO YOU USE? We&apos;ve specifically selected Biomimetic Hydroxyapatite which is more effective than other hydroxyapatite and has higher remineralisation. It&apos;s simply more effective at binding to your teeth. <span id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(56, 71, 79); font-family: Inter; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">We source this from natural minerals (Natural Calcium Carbonate), avoiding any animal ingredients.&#xA0; Biomimetic Hydroxyapatite is also very effective at reducing sensitivity &amp; whitening teeth. There&apos;s a lot of talk around % use of hydroxyapatite in toothpaste but this can be misleading. The most important thing is the type and quality of the hydroxyapatite and making sure that clinically effective levels are added - like with Gutology Probiotic Toothpaste.&#xA0; <span data-offset-key="1dt0n-0-0" id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(56, 71, 79); font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Hydroxyapatite particles are&#xA0;<span data-offset-key="1dt0n-0-1" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(56, 71, 79); font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; font-style: italic;">biomimetic<span data-offset-key="1dt0n-0-2" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; color: rgb(56, 71, 79); font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">, meaning they mimic natural enamel. IS THIS TOOTHPASTE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN? <span id="isPasted" style="color: rgb(56, 71, 79); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; float: none; display: inline !important;">Yes, as this is a fluoride-free toothpaste, it&apos;s suitable for children. There are no ingredients that should be an issue, however, for younger children and babies, just be mindful of the dosage, as it&apos;s quite &apos;minty&apos; and could a bit much for sensitive tastebuds.&#xA0;

It&apos;s not just hayfever, that can get us sneezing. Foods, medications &amp; even cosmetic products can cause issues for many people. Some people even have an allergy to toothpaste. At Gutology, we strive to remove ingredients that we don&apos;t believe should be in our bodies everyday but some people can react to natural ingredients like Mint.&#xA0; WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF AN ALLERGIC REACTION Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts and starts creating antibodies when it comes in contact with a normally harmless substance. That&apos;s why your nose might start running when you breathe in pollen, or you might break out in hives when you eat a peanut.However, the most common toothpaste allergy symptom is cheilitis, which means inflammation of the lips. Cheilitis might display as dermatitis around the mouth, including a rash and dry, cracked lips. In some cases, you might also experience sensitivity or a mild burning sensation.With toothpaste allergies, symptoms inside the mouth are very rare. You should see your dentist, GP or call 111 (in the UK) immediately if you experience any itchiness or swelling in your mouth. You might have a food allergy or a different oral health problem instead. POTENTIAL ALLERGENS IN NATURAL TOOTHPASTE We strive to use natural ingredients in all our products but in rare cases people can react to the following:&#xA0; <div data-block="true" data-editor="cr91k" data-offset-key="1tifv-0-0" id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; widows: 2; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><div data-offset-key="1tifv-0-0" style="box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; position: relative; direction: ltr; text-align: left;"><span style="color: rgb(44, 121, 118); font-family: Inter, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">FLAVOURINGS&#xA0;- like spearmint &amp; peppermint. <span style="color: rgb(44, 121, 118); font-family: Inter, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">ESSENTIAL OILS -&#xA0;<span style="color: rgb(56, 71, 79); font-family: Inter; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">such as limonene &amp; menthol oil.&#xA0; HUMECTANTS&#xA0;- like Glycerine which are derived from vegetables.

If you think you&apos;re allergic to your toothpaste, then switch immediately. Try a different flavour or brand to see if the symptoms resolve.If the problem persists, then reach out to your dentist or primary care physician. They might refer you to an allergist, who can perform tests to determine which ingredients or materials are causing the irritation. You might learn it&apos;s not your toothpaste at all, but a new chapstick or facewash. Once the offending ingredient is identified, you can avoid it in the future.A toothpaste allergy should not get in the way of great oral hygiene. If you&apos;re having trouble finding a toothpaste that works for you, your dental professional would be happy to help you find the right product. That way, you can get rid of unwanted allergy symptoms and take care of your oral health.
