Rashmi Gill 7/18/2019 9:05 AMThanks for this Stephanie. I found a toothpaste WOO BAM BOO that is natural plus the packing is green. I find the actual paste good but often find I need to go to my "regular" paste for a deep clean at least every other day. -
stephanie lucas 7/14/2019 3:47 PMI am not impressed with it. It sort of gets stuck in your teeth and doesn't brush well. There are some powdered toothpaste products that I'm going to try next. -
