Tom's of Maine - Review & Giveaway

My husband is one of those conspiracy theorists. He has a lot of crazy ideas and we don't always see eye to eye. Maybe because I'm too much of an optimist. But there is one thing we agree on, and that's the fact that the chemicals in most dental hygiene products aren't good for our children. Do I believe it's the first step to government brain control?...no. But I do feel that natural is best in all things and I don't like allowing chemicals into my family's bodies when it's not necessary. That's one of the reasons why I love Tom's of Maine. They have a whole line of natural oral care products for kids and adults. We were lucky enough to try out a few of their newest products and they make mom, the kids, and even conspiracy theorists happy.  Here are our thoughts on a few of their newest items.

Children's Anti-Cavity Fluoride Rinse

Made just for kids, this mouth wash comes in a Juicy Mint variety. It leaves your mouth minty fresh without the burning sensation that occurs with some other brands that can be to intense for little mouths. This rinse provides a protective coating of fluoride to help prevent cavities. It's made without any dies, there is no animal testing and they maximize recyclability with this and all their products.

Wicked Cool Toothpaste

This toothpaste is designed for kids eight and older and is perfect for my tweens. They've outgrown the bubble gum and berry flavors and this the perfect transitional toothpaste. The mint flavor freshens their breath and gets their teeth clean, but it's not as intense as adult toothpastes. It is also available in a fluoride free variety.

Children's Silly Strawberry Toothpaste

The Silly Strawberry Toothpaste again comes in both fluoride and fluoride free varieties. The yummy strawberry taste and cute design are the perfect way to encourage younger children to brush their teeth. My kids have been much more enthusiastic about brushing their teeth since we started using this. They love the great taste and I love that it's made with all-natural ingredients I can feel good about using.

Anti-Plaque Floss

The Anti-Plague Floss is perfect for adults as well as kids who are old enough to start flossing. The easy-glide design and wax coating slides easily between teeth with minimal bleeding. It has a light spearmint flavor and really helps to remove plaque in those  hard to reach places.

Naturally Clean Toothbrush

This toothbrush has extra soft bristles that reduce bleeding even with sensitive gums but still gets the job done. The bristles come in multiple layers, allowing them to get in-between teeth to the hard to reach places many toothbrushes can overlook. The really exciting thing is that this brush is not only good for your teeth but also the environment. Its made from plant based materials that can be recycled.
