AI Summary
Natural, herbal, and organic toothpastes are increasingly available on shelves and are often marketed as healthier alternatives to conventional products. These toothpastes may include ingredients such as aloe vera, neem, or green tea. A key consideration before switching is whether the toothpaste contains fluoride, a mineral that protects teeth against decay. Some natural toothpastes include fluoride, while others do not. The labeling on the tube does not indicate whether a product will provide this protective benefit.
