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.

I love this product, and it helped my wife's "geographic tongue" issues disappear.
