The beloved FDA doesn't want us to claim that our toothpaste is remineralizing toothpaste unless it goes through their "drug" approval... and we're not really supposed to tell you that the cavities you have can heal, or that your gums can grow back by using mineral-rich toothpaste like ours.
So... we'll just say that our toothpaste "supports" the remineralization & regenerating process... (You're welcome come up with your own interpretation of what that means ~ insert face palm here).
No matter what you believe about that, the truth is, any positive changes you make to the products you use on & in your body will naturally cause you to be in a less toxic, & more healthy state. And as you become healthier, your tooth & gum health will be happier as well.
Lots of brands of so-called "organic toothpaste" are actually super harsh on teeth & gums, because they still contain ingredients that are... well... harsh.
And we know that finding a toothpaste for sensitive teeth and gums can be a real challenge.
But because Perfect Pearlies™ is a completely non toxic toothpaste & is low on the RDA (abrasiveness) scale, that means it contains ingredients that are not only healthy ~ but gentle.
Those would include wonderful ingredients like marshmallow root, myrrh gum, willow bark, & arrowroot, which sooth inflammation.
If you or your child struggles with either, it can be a challenge to brush teeth due to taste and texture.
Our sensory & autism friendly toothpaste is just that; because it's not only foam-free, but it's also a purposefully fluoride free toothpaste, available in a fun variety of yummy but mild flavors (We even have a flavorless toothpaste now!), which makes it the perfect alternative to conventional toothpaste.
We honestly did not expect it, but we've had multiple parents reach out to let us know that our Perfect Pearlies™ is the ONLY toothpaste their autistic or sensory sensitive child will use!
We offer discounted sets & bundles for (1) stocking up, (2) gift giving, (3) traveling, and (4) sampling. You can choose several of the same item, or a combination of different items, and it makes shopping fun! In addition to our toothpaste, we also have baking soda free deodorant cream, softening & soothing body butter, & "beyond" organic lip balm.
GREENWASHING.
Have you heard of greenwashing?
If not, it's a sneaky, nasty little thing... Greenwashing is tricking consumers into believing a product's natural & non-toxic claims, without it actually being natural & non-toxic. It's the epitome of "body & home" product deception.
In the pursuit of a dazzling smile, people overlook the potential health risks lurking in conventional toothpaste "big guy" brands like Colgate, Crest, and even some so-called "natural" toothpaste companies.
Well known household names promise "minty freshness!" and cavity protection, but a closer look reveals shady big corporation practices (usually backed by big pharma) and nasty ingredients that may compromise oral and overall health.
As awareness grows about the importance of holistic well-being, the demand for alternative options such as fluoride-free, naturally remineralizing, and non toxic toothpaste from small businesses hand crafting their products (instead of outsourcing) is on the rise.
WE UNDERSTAND THE CONCERNS
One of the primary reasons people look for alternatives to conventional toothpaste is the presence of fluoride. While fluoride has long been championed for its “cavity-fighting properties!”, research shows that fluoride exposure leads to adverse health effects, particularly in children.
Fluoride free toothpaste options provide a safer alternative for those concerned about potential toxicity and fluoride ingestion.
Not to mention the fact that “big guy” toothpaste often contains super abrasive ingredients and synthetic chemicals that can erode tooth enamel and irritate sensitive gums. Non toxic remineralizing toothpaste formulations, on the other hand, are designed to strengthen enamel and promote oral health. By supporting the remineralization process, these toothpastes not only protect against decay but also help restore tooth structure, making them ideal for individuals with sensitive teeth & gums or those seeking a gentler alternative.
ADDRESSING UNIQUE NEEDS: AUTISM & SENSORY DISORDER
For individuals with specific health considerations such as autism or sensory issues, choosing the right toothpaste can be particularly challenging. Mainstream toothpaste products often contain strong flavors & textures that can be overwhelming for individuals with sensory sensitivities, and it can be hard to find truly healthy toothpaste for sensitive teeth, not to mention toothpaste for sensory issues and autism.
Fortunately, there are toothpaste options specifically formulated to cater to these needs, offering a milder taste and friendlier consistency for sensitive mouths.
Parents of children with autism & sensory sensitivities often face difficulties in finding oral care products that accommodate their child's preferences and needs. You may even be reading this yourself and saying, “Yep. That would me.”
Traditional toothpaste usually contains artificial sweeteners, flavors, and harsh chemicals that can trigger aversions or discomfort in sensitive individuals & those on the spectrum. However, toothpaste for autism, specially crafted with mild (but yummy!) flavors and natural ingredients, provides a solution tailored to unique needs.
By prioritizing sensory friendly formulations, autism friendly toothpaste aims to create a positive oral care experience for individuals with autism, fostering independence and promoting healthy oral hygiene habits. Our products provide parents with just that! ~ A trusted option for maintaining your child's dental health without unnecessary stress or sensory overload.
This was an unexpected quality about our toothpaste, that multiple parents started telling us about, and we cannot tell you how happy we were to hear that we could serve this struggling community!
