Avoid essential oils for pregnancy/nursing. Avoid dental care sweetened with xylitol (lethal to pets – if you chew gum which often contains it, use a gum drop bin to avoid littering). Do not compost floss, as it would tangle (essential oils can harm compost creatures).

You can recycle toothpaste tubes at Boots or Superdrug boxes.

Should you use fluoride or not?

Holistic dentists say flouride is not needed, just avoid refined sugar and soda, brush teeth regularly and have regular check-ups. Conventional dentists recommend fluoride, it’s up to you.

Spit out flouride toothpaste, and supervise older children (only use for age 7+).
