“Are ayurvedic toothpastes better than flouride?”

Flouride has a proven scientific record of helping the population control the extent of dental caries. Some people "believe" that fluoride is harmful to humans. It is true, that too much flouride intake is not recommended either, but you only ingest very minute amounts of toothpaste when brushing your teeth. I am familiar with one holistic toothpaste, called Tom's of Maine. I know that there folks that do well with its use. As far as being "better" than a flouride toothpaste, I cannot say that it's comparable. I believe that flouride has helped the population keep dental caries under better control than without it. If you are an individual that has a very low caries index, then the ayurvedic toothpaste may be just fine. But if you are prone to acid and sugar attacks and get cavities frequently, then I think that the flouride toothpaste would be in your best interests.

You can be sure that a fluoridated toothpaste is the most effective way according to the American Dental Association to clean and maintain good oral hygiene.

Nothing is better than fluoride in preventing cavities.
