Regular toothpastes can contain chemicals and compounds that can harm the environment and, for some, are incompatible with their oral health needs. The vast majority of regular toothpaste brands contain fluoride, which although proven to help prevent tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel, can lead to fluorosis in children younger than 2 when combined with community water fluoridation schemes (Source: Ullah et al, 2017 and CDC). Additionally, most regular toothpaste tubes are made of mixed materials such as aluminum and plastic, making them difficult to recycle and often end up in landfills (Source: Recycling International).
