Gums

Conventional Products for Gums

Avoid conventional gum products made with synthetic and petroleum derived ingredients such as artificial flavors, SLS and fluoride.

❌ Fluoride: according to Fluoridealert.orgFDA requires a poison warning on every tube of fluoride toothpaste now sold in the USThe FDA requires this warning because children who swallow too much fluoride toothpaste can suffer acute poisoning, even death.

Greenwashing Products for Gums

Avoid greenwashing gum products made by brands that pretend to be organic, natural or safe when they are not. They may use marketing tricks to convince you to buy their products. They may contain controversial ingredients:

Nano  Hydroxyapatite not recommended: synthetic and toxic 

Micro Hydroxyapatite: The larger particle sizes can apply more pressure on various areas of your face or body. However, this can lead to irritation and discomfort if you have sensitive skin and should be avoided if possible! It’s likely more able to create sensitivity in your teeth than nano-HAp.

Carrageenan: The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the National Research Council of the US both have determined that carrageenan is a carcinogen.
