i appreciate that this is SLS free and yet still contains flouride. which is hard to find. Gentle yet protective.

I used to get canker sores in the mouth regularly, then I started using Tom's of Maine Clean & Gentle SLS-Free toothpaste. I have used it for years and I have noticed a drastic decrease in canker sores while still maintaining good oral hygiene.

I have bought my last Tom's toothpaste - All your 'new' formulas are just not close to the one I've always liked - the baking powder formula. I'm sorry you've changed them.

Being allergic to SLS has made brushing my teeth a challenge. I have tried the ones in the grocery store, but they do not feel as great as Toms. Lovely flavor and so soft on my gums. I found my toothpaste for life.

I have purchased the simply white Peppermint fluoride free toothpaste a few times. I am not a fan of the after taste and after feel it leaves in my mouth and now I find out it contains SLS. I wont be buying your products again until this is removed

I have found a number of SLS-free, fluoride-free options in other brands, but I've had a hard time locating an SLS-free paste that contains fluoride. Tom's Clean&Gentle is perfect for me! I can find it locally, and I like the mild peppermint flavor.

I tried this toothpaste recently and like it. It's great to not have my mouth burn and my eyes tear up. My only complaint is the flavor--the mint is too sweet. I'm not sure why it doesn't come in other flavors--I like spearmint and winter mint.

This used to be a great product, once. I can deal with losing fennel flavor, but not with also losing my fluoride-free option. I'll be finding another SLS-free paste with xylitol before you get rid of those features, too. Goodbye, Colgate.

My doctor advised me to only use SLS free toothpaste. I need to find out if you make travel size. I had to pay to check my bag on the airline because I had the 6 oz tube.

This is an outrage! You guys had a wonderful product that was both SLS Free and Flouride Free, and now it's gone! It blows my mind that Tom's of Maine would put flouride in toothpaste that already has Xylitol in it (a tooth decay preventer). The flouride free version was the only one we used. Make the right choice Tom's of Maine and dump the fouride version, not the flouride free one!

Where is the Clean & Gentle Spearmint, SLS-free, Flouride-free version? Has that been discontinued? That's nothing short of a disaster for us. The kids can't handle the Peppermint version.

I have used the spearmint flavor with great success at getting rid of canker sores. However, I can't stand anything pepermint and wish you would bring back the spearmint flavor. I need the SLS-free and wish you had more flavors.

Best toothpaste ever. Mild peppermint flavor is a dream. I hate the strong flavors that burn up your mouth and ruin your taste. It has superior cleaning power and the latest ingredients for over all mouth hygene. Thank you Tom's

We are very sad to see that the Fennel paste is no longer offered. We have since tried several of the new flavors and none has come close to working. Unfortunately, many who are SLS sensitive are also sensitive to mint flavors. It is really disappointing that we can no longer use Tomâs of Maine products because they donât offer an SLS free option that is not minty.

I have used TOM's Clean & Gentle since it became available. Plainly put: it makes my mouth happy! A non-flouride version would be great since I like to alter how often I use it, but this is the best toothpaste I have ever used!

I use to get canker sores inside my mouth all the time. The ones in the back of my throat were torture. Because this toothpaste avoids using SLS, a forming ingrediant this inflames nicks and cuts inside the mouth. It has a excellent chance of healing

What happened to the one without SLS and without fluoride?!? Nobody carries it anywhere. :( SLS-free is necessary for my son's mouth to not burn, and I will not allow him to be exposed to fluoride, a carcinogen.

My kids love it and don't seem to mind that Tom's might be owned by Colgate, a (horror of horrors!!) right-wing company.

The new packaging had me confused; bought a tube of spearmint "clean and gentle" since I couldn't find or figure out what the old spearmint baking soda toothpaste would be packaged as now. This stuff tastes HORRIBLE!!!!!!! I hope the spearmint-baking soda toothpaste still exists; doesn't seem to at our co-op.

Tastes gross, I had to switch to a different brand natural SLS-free toothpaste because this "mint flavor" tastes too anise-like and has a funky texture. Not to mention that Tom's is now just Colgate's (a right-wing company) natural branding line.

I used regular Colagate for years, then started to have an itchy roof of my mouth after I brushed. A gal at my co-op reccommended this SLS-free toothpaste and it has been awesome. My dentsit loves the fact that it has xylitol and I have noticed less plaque and buildup since using this product.

I used to get canker sores constantly... for years. I read about the potential cause being SLS and thought I'd try toothpaste without. I wanted to try Tom's because I read it was the best online, but Tom's is in my area... just not the SLS free ones. First I used Burt's Bees because it is in my area SLS free... and the sores reduced, but not enough. I then searched for this website to order myself. My first purchase was 3 tubes.... INSTANTLY the canker sores I had healed and then for the duration of the tubes I didn't get a single canker sore!!! Thank you Tom's, you are an improvement on the quality of life.

I had an allergic reaction that resulted in a breakout around my mouth that was awkward and painful. I was diagnosed with perioral dermitis. Not knowing the cause of the allergy, I immediately switched to the Clean & Gentle Tom's and in a few days, the rash was gone. I'm a lifetime customer now!

I love love love this toothpaste! I became allergic to SLS after my son was born. This was the only brand I could find that sells an SLS free paste that tastes and feels just like regular toothpaste.
