Review on Redmond Earthpaste - Non-Fluoride Spearmint Toothpaste - Natural Formula - 4oz Tube by Teresa Brady

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It takes a while to get used to, but when I eat or drink after brushing my teeth, the food tastes just like it should.

I bought mint because it doesn't have xylitol, which we didn't want in our toothpaste. I believe some other flavors contain xylitol. This toothpaste is different from any I've used before and honestly it took a little getting used to. It doesn't foam, doesn't bubble and isn't too sweet. As a result, once I started using it, it seemed dull and boring. After using it for about a week, I grabbed my old toothpaste and decided to brush it, thinking I was missing that minty freshness — I almost threw up. My old toothpaste was too sweet, my mouth was watering and it felt like I was brushing my teeth with melted caramel. I returned to Redmond and found that mint tasted just like mint without the sugar substitute (xylitol). Я понял, что мой рот стал чище после его использования, чем когда я использовал зубную пасту своей старой торговой марки - я просто не осознавал этого, потому что я так привык к этому подавляющему сладкому мятному вкусу во рту еще долго после того, как я закончил Brush teeth. Redmond just keeps my teeth and mouth clean - he does. Now I'm used to just being clean. My mouth feels clean after brushing my teeth, just as my body feels cleanest after a shower (before applying sticky deodorant, perfume, and makeup). Just clean. I like it. Another perk of Redmond's, (@at least the taste I got) is that I don't get a film on my tongue or taste toothpaste in my mouth after rinsing - everything I eat or drink after brushing tastes that way , as it should. For example, lemonade tastes like lemonade - my old toothpaste makes the lemonade taste sour. So no, I don't miss the overly sweet toothpaste I used to use because it leaves my mouth really clean and allows my taste buds to work properly when I'm done. However, this takes some getting used to. Update: I ordered another tube of this because I love it and because my recent dental exam was better than expected. We lost our dental insurance when my husband lost his job. New job and now we have insurance, but it's been almost a year since I've been to the dentist and in that time I've developed a discoloration that I was convinced was tooth decay (although there was no pain). So when I went to the dentist he said there was a hole in the old filling that was starting to dissolve and there was a stain in the hole. That's not tooth decay, but he doesn't know how I can NOT have tooth decay there because the hole exposes part of the tooth. So, the bad news is that I now have to replace the filling, but the good news. no cavities. When my husband found out about this, he decided to try a transfer to Redmond. He has very sensitive teeth and uses a special toothpaste that has worked for some, but he has still had sensitivity issues. So he didn't want to change. I suggested brushing his teeth with his old toothpaste in the morning and Redmond's toothpaste at night to help with the adjustment, but he ignored me - he was ready to "get over it". He started using Redmond for all types of brushing and was initially surprised that his sensitivity stayed the same within the first week - it didn't deteriorate as we expected. After the first week he noticed LESS sensitivity. This toothpaste does more than just be special. As for taste, he says nothing tastes better than his old brand, which was like brushing your teeth with cough syrup, so Redmond doesn't bother him at all. Now he can drink coffee while it's still hot. This may not seem like a big deal to most of you, but for those of you with sensitivity issues, you'll appreciate that it makes a big difference. He hasn't tried ice cream yet, but he's sure it won't be a problem. He says his mouth hasn't been this pain free since he was a kid. I don't know why this toothpaste helped his sensitivities but he is definitely eating more since he no longer has sensitive teeth and gums. I hope he doesn't gain the weight he's been trying so hard to lose :-)
