    used to, then I noticed the first cavity of my life after 5 years of it. Switched back, no more cavities, but ds who remains cavity free continues to prefer it.

    My form of flouride free might be a bit shockingly frugal. For the longest time I just brushed with a good natural bar soap.

    Doesn't taste bad, and I much preferred it to that disgusting mint flavour that infests every toothpaste created, unless you like fennel which I don't or cinnamon which I'm not quite used to bumping into.

    I wish there were better mint free alternatives.

    Meanwhile if anyone wants to go flouride and mint flavours free, try a health food store bar soap, all natural.

    NO YOU CAN"T LICK IT FIRST IN THE STORE they WON'T LET YOU!!!! Party poopers!

    All jokes aside, I did use and like bar soap and if it wasn't for the one cavity of my life, which I'm not sure if it was going flouride free or not

    I would still be using the soap instead of gagging on mint.

    Right now I'm using VIVID by Crest which really is whitening and brightening as advertised, but it has flouride too.

    I wish we could, however the cost is just prohibitive for our budget. We have no dental plan so we can't afford to get any cavaties.

    We don't have floride in the water, and I don't want us to get cavities! No dental insurance here either!

    Rachel insists on flouride-free when her OCD is flaring up. Before I knew she had OCD, I caught her eating toothpaste many times. She kept doing it, so I finally showed her the 'drug label' and explained that flouride in large amounts was dangerous. Well, that flipped her out! Gee, I hadn't realized how much better she is now.
