Verve Ultra SLS-Free Toothpaste with Fluoride, 4.5 oz.

What a lifesaver! I seemed to have developed a random allergy to mouth care products recently and couldn't put my finger on the culprit for the life of me, so I was stuck brushing with baking soda and foregoing everything else. No bueno in the long-term, obviously!For those who might be experiencing something similar, I was developing mouth ulcers on my tongue and the insides of my mouth, and my lips and tongue were burning to the point that I couldn't eat or drink without pain. Eventually I realized that it might be my toothpaste. Sure enough, stopping the toothpaste (yuck, I know) healed my mouth. I went through probably five different toothpaste brands, trying to find the culprit, before I tried this SLS-free brand. Lo and behold, I'm probably two weeks in to a twice a day brushing routine with Verve and no pain! Praise the toothpaste gods.ABOUT THE ACTUAL PRODUCT:I really don't understand the negative reviews about consistency and difficulty squeezing. It takes a LITTLE more effort to squeeze the toothpaste out of this tube than, say, a tube of regular Colgate, but it's definitely not the an Olympic test of strength like many are making it out to be. However, it might be a little much for people with severe arthritis or other conditions that limit dexterity/strength/etc.The consistency is thicker than Colgate, Arm & Hammer, and the like, and it takes a little longer to dissolve in my mouth and get that consistency I'm used to. Doesn't bother me, though.The taste is great for me. Still minty and fresh but with a little less burning intensity than most mint-flavored pastes.Leaves my mouth feeling clean and fresh.I am officially a convert. Highly recommend! Feel free to ask questions if you wish.

The media could not be loaded. Nice minty smell and taste. Not foamy because it's SLS free. Helped with my symptoms almost immediately. Only downside is the lid is hard to open. Though you can leave it slightly open and the toothpaste stays fresh.

I've used this toothpaste for a few years now. I hardly ever get canker sores anymore where they used to be an annoyance maybe 3-4 times a year. I can bite my cheek and not worry about it turning into an ulcer! I really like that it doesn't get foamy and that the mint taste isn't overwhelming. My boyfriend is put off by the pasty texture but I don't mind it. I will never go back to normal toothpaste lol

The flavor is mild and the toothpaste doesn't burn my mouth at all. It is impossible for me to squeeze the paste out of the tube in a normal fashion. I have to put it on the sink and bear down with the heel of my hand to get any product out. If it were easier to get out, I probably would have given it a 5.

Wow! I just got and tried this toothpaste for the first time today and its the best I've ever used! It left my mouth feeling fresh and clean and felt good on my teeth and gums also. Every toothpaste I've ever used, including sensitive, natural, etc left my mouth feeling dry and salty. No matter the flavor. This left my mouth refreshed and healthy! I will definately be ordering again!

My dentist told me to use SLS free toothpaste for the health of my gums. I found this toothpaste and really liked its fresh, mild taste. Then I looked at the list of ingredients on the tube and learned that, in addition to being SLS free, it contains BLUE DYE and SACCHARIN! My mouth does not want blue dye ( a known allergen for some) or SACCHARIN, that can cause tumors in laboratory mice. How hard can it be to find a toothpaste that is truly healthy???I want to contact the manufacturer and ask them to consider formulating this SLS free toothpaste without dyes and artificial sweeteners. Then it would be a total winner.I do congratulate Amazon for their great selection of dental hygiene products. So nice to have a choice.

Canker sores run in my family. All of us used to get them several times a month, often several sores at a time. After using this for just a month, I saw a huge difference. Now 2 years in, I can say confidently that this works. My mother, my sisters, my son, and myself all saw a huge drop in the number of canker sores we get. When we do get one now, it disappears quickly, within a day or two, and we're only getting canker sores 3-4 times a year now. There is no foaming, so you do have to use more toothpaste on your brush than you might be used to. You also have to get used to brushing your teeth with your mouth closed, so that the liquid doesn't dribble out of your mouth, but it is all worth it to live free of painful mouth sores. This is not a cure though. When I had to switch to regular toothpaste for just a week on a trip, the canker sores did come back. Like any allergy, you just have to cut SLS out of your life for good. SLS seems completely unnecessary though, as none of my family members, nor myself, have had any cavities nor any dental issues since cutting out SLS.

This toothpaste is perfect for those who have an allergy to SLS. It is the only one I found that has fluoride. It does not bubble up like other toothpastes because that is what SLS does, but that is what is great about it for my son and me who are allergic to SLS.
