Toothpaste with flouride or without?

[Cocolove]

Dr bronners uses glycerin which coats your teeth and doesnt allow the proper flow of dental lymph fluid, as well as holding in bacteria. 

Other than that it's good

Not green bullshit, since i started practicing her methods the dentists tell me i have almost no plaque and all my 75% of my tooth sensitivity is gone.

 

Use baking soda and salt as toothpaste 

Use plant oils that are crafted intentionally or oral use to influence the mircobiome populations.

I use Dr bronner's toothpaste. I have the spearmint right now. I'm going to switch everything hygiene to Dr bronner's for now. Also I use radius brand toothbrush, what are the best ones you found and use?

I never had issues with fluoride personally.  I use Sensodyne.

Overuse (especially coarse salt or aggressive brushing) can abrade enamel, leading to sensitivity or damage over time. It also lacks fluoride, which is proven to prevent cavities (no strong alternative matches its efficacy). Dentists generally recommend it occasionally, not as a full replacement for standard toothpaste. Once I week I use flouride and the remainder without flouride.

Last time I visited my dentist which was about a year ago, the chef changed his protocol and made a treatment which involved fluoride optional. Point was that new studies seem to suggest that fluoride is toxic in some way. There seemed to be some internal disagreement in the team as well. The chef also seemed to wake up to the new age and I guess everything associated with it.

Does regular brandname toothpaste contain heavy metals such as lead or mercury?

I'm not sure, that's an interesting question. Do you use toothpaste with fluoride?

A little late to this thread, but hydroxyapatite is a very good alternative to flouride (it's literally what the outer layer of your teeth are made out of). 
 

Use black charcoal toothpaste sparingly. It erodes tooth enamel.

I've ordered this one (my earlier one, Dr. Collins Biomin Restore, contained titanium dioxide, which has been banned in the EU for concerns about genotoxicity). Very few ingredients (full list below image):

Full ingredients: Water, Sorbitol, Glycerin, Hydrated Silica, Xylitol, Hydroxyapatite, Calcium Carbonate, Propanediol, Xanthan Gum, Cellulose Gum, Stevia Rebaudiana Extract, Erythritol, Sodium Gluconate.

As for "natty status", water is natty; sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol are natural sugar alcohols found in fruits (Stevia extract is also used for its sugar alcohols), glycerin is in your skin, silica is everywhere (in your food, in your body), calcium is in your body (carbonate too), propanediol and xantan gum are fermentation products of natural starches, cellulose gum is derived from natural starches through a simple chemical process using e.g. acetic acid (but usually monochloroacetic acid which is highly toxic, but yeah, they try to wash it out, but microscopic amounts may remain), the gluconate in sodium gluconate naturally occurs in fruits.
