Anyone knows where I can buy toothpaste without fluoride? If it is not available in HK I better bring some from Europe.

Thanks

What's wrong with fluoride?

[gita]

all toothpaste have flouride?! that's not what i have been told. how about sensodyne, organic ones like tom's of maine (which i use) - i am quite sure they don't contain flouride. avoid colgate, aquafresh and similar ones and you should get a good choice to choose from. try mannings, watsons, city super, health stores (healthgate) and others.

You can get unfluoridated toothpaste in Indian stores, but fluoride is really something you want if you want to keep your pearly whites clean Tom's of Maine and Sensodyne both contain fluoride.

sensodyne and tom's of maine does?! oh i didn't know that, there's no mention of it on the packaging and ingredient list. even the original sensodyne, hehe? what should i be looking for? thanks!

Can someone explain this sudden backlash against fluoride? Is it the latest trend to avoid it due to some conspiracy? Did Al Gore say it was bad for the environment?

Anti Fluoridism has been around for a while and actually quietened down a few years back.
Do a search and you will see both sides badmouthing each other.

Anyway the New Zealand Focus store carries 'Nature's Best' non-fluoride refreshing mint, aloe vera toothpaste gel(sic)
Be warned that this store tends to charge like a wounded bull so be prepared to shell out $40 for a 70gm tube.
Its in our water as well

How about no teeth and no brushing? Saves me a lot of time every morning.

I'm sure the arguments are right in line with the anti-aspartame and anti-sodium lauryth sulphate morons

The arguments against flouride make sense to me. Too bad it is everywhere.

Can anyone tell me if the Sodium Fluoride in toothpaste is the same Sodium Fluoroacetate in rat poison?
