Tom's of Maine Natural Whole Care Anticavity & Tarter Control Plus Whitening Gel Toothpaste Review

In my order from drugstore.com I was given a free sample of Tom's of Maine Natural Whole Care Peppermint toothpaste. The first time I had heard of Tom's of Maine was here at Viewpoints so I had never tried their products.

Tom's of Maine produces a variety of natural hygienic products like deodorants, soap, toothpaste, mouthwash and dental floss. Their toothpastes are made for all sorts of purposes. The Whole Care line comes in five flavors - peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon-clove, wintermint and orange-mango. The tube that the toothpaste comes in isn't like your typical Colgate or Crest, it's a soft mailable metal tube. That makes it a little difficult to squeeze out all the toothpaste.

As soon as you take the cap off you can smell the peppermint. When I brush my teeth, the flavor is a little overpowering. Since I only received a travel size sample I'm not sure if all of the claims are true, like it whitening or controlling cavities or tartar.

The price for a 5.2 oz tube is around $4 at drugstore.com. I checked a local grocery store and the price was over $6. If I could have chosen the flavor myself I might of had a different rating. Personally I would have picked the spearmint over the peppermint.

I would buy this product but only if I could get it on sale. I like the fact that it's all natural. That means no preservatives and no animal ingredients. It doesn't have any artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors and there's no animal testing. I am happy with this brand and plan to try other Tom's of Maine products. I recommend Tom's of Maine Natural Whole Care toothpaste.
