Boka Natural Toothpaste, Fluoride Free - Nano Hydroxyapatite for Remineralizing, Sensitive Teeth, & Whitening - Dentist Recommended for Adult & Kids Oral Care - Ela Mint, 4oz 1 Pack - Made in USA

Update: 06/23/2023 I’m not that much of a fan of the Cinnamint. I think I was lead on to think it would taste like cinnamon. It tastes like cloves. Nothing is wrong with cloves, but it was not what I expected going by the flavor’s name. I use these toothpastes exclusively. Update: 05/15/2023. Ive been using mainly Boka toothpaste since Oct of last year. I went through a stage of lowering my sugar intake and everything started tasting too sweet. You know how when you eat a perfectly ripe apple and it will taste sweet. Then you eat an apple pie and its even sweeter. If you go back and take another bite of the apple, it wont taste as sweet anymore. Well, I got rid of all the sweets and the Coco Ginger and Lemon Lavender became way too sweet for me. For a short stint, I went back to Sensodyne because I had it at home already. Then I eventually switched back to the Boka and tried the Ela Mint. Before making the switch back to Boka, I tried the Elims toothpaste. It wasnt sweet. Unfortunately, it taste like mild soap and doesnt clean very well. Ela Mint will be a great introduction to anyone just starting hydroxyapatite toothpaste. It tastes pretty much like a regular mint flavor, and I think it cleans the best out of the 3 flavors Ive tried. My teeth just feel smoother. It was also nice to not have an overly sweet toothpaste. The Ela Mint toothpaste tube that shipped came in perfect unlike the other two flavor. It was not covered in scuff marks nor looked like it was trampled over by an elephant. Im not sure why this flavor is treated so different. Also, I havent had a cavity in years since I found out the wonders of floss. Im going to exclude the small one that started when I went through chemo at the start of the pandemic. So roughly the 6 months (Im minusing the Sensodyne time)of using this toothpaste, I havent had any cavities nor gingivitis at my cleanings. I cant say that my teeth look whiter though. I am a coffee drinker. I use to smoke spliffs and drink coffee and I felt my teeth look whiter back then. In fact, people would comment on how white my teeth looked. However, I use to oil pull and just brush with a slurry of baking soda. Ill update again, once I quit coffee to see if this type of toothpaste makes a difference. Older Review Ok, we all know what Boka toothpaste is suppose to do. It’s suppose to help remineralize the teeth with nano-hydroxyapatite, and then there are a whole heap of benefits that come with that. Since no one is going to be able to see the benefits right away, let’s talk about things I can evaluate in the here and now. First, let’s talk about the taste. It actually tastes like sweet coconut oil and ginger. It has a health food and green living vibe to its flavor. It’s not bad, but I was surprised it seemed kind of herbally. The flavor is mild and enjoyable. My mouth tasted nice after spitting it out. I don’t think it messes with the flavor of food right afterwards. Second, the paste turns to liquid in the mouth. There is no foam. I needed more than a pea size to feel like I adequately covered all of my teeth with it. Since I switched my toothbrush and floss, my teeth typically feel really clean after brushing. My teeth continued to feel clean after using this one. It’s cleaning capabilities are still the same as others. For those worried about the abrasive used in this toothpaste, ask for the RDA ranking of this paste. Even Sensodyne Pronamel uses hydrated silica and it’s rda rating is below 40 for all but the whitening ones. Lastly, this felt good in the mouth. There was no burning. My tongue also didn’t feel numb afterwards. Overall, it’s a decent toothpaste at face value. It is very crunchy-granola in its brand values, as well as its flavor. What it purports to do makes it seem great, but it’s too early to see those benefits. I’d just have to take their word for it. Edit: I recently purchased the Lemon Lavender flavor off of Target because they are out of stock on the Boka website. If you thought the tubes off of Amazon looked streaked up and dirty, the Target ones have them beat. Oh my, my tube looks beat up. This is a sweet and soft flavor that dissipates to the flavor of nothing. It reminds me of lemon short bread cookies with a hint of lavender, but very soft. Its definitely not as sweet and intense like Tanners Tasty Paste in Vanilla Bling, but it still tastes good. I can see children liking the Lemon Lavender flavor much more than the Coco Ginger.

Nice product

I had a few molars removed and the surrounding remaining teeth had receded gum line. That made the area of that tooth quite sensitive. After using this for about 2 weeks, I dont feel the pain there anymore. Also, this does wonders on re-strengthening your teeth when you use whitening strips. I highly recommend this and have bought my mom a tube because all her teeth are sensitive. Works way better than sensodyne.

These definitely help with sensitivity. Make sure not to rinse with water after you are done with brushing.

I gag with mint toothpaste and this cleans the teeth great

I have an allergy to Fluoride so I was looking for Xylitol toothpaste. This one has been really good. My teeth are whiter and my mouth is always so clean (with the help of an electric toothbrush as well). I will say the taste is VERY strong. VERY Minty. But I love it

I cannot recommend this enough!!!!!

I love this toothpaste! It leaves my teeth feeling ‘after dentist clean’. I brushed my teeth four times the first day it arrived. My initial thoughts were that it looks, feels, and smells like lotion. The taste was mild, but very good, not overpowering. A little goes a long(er) way than one might initially think because it is so flat when you put it on your toothbrush. It doesn’t foam, which also contributes to the feeling of needing more. Edit: after using this toothpaste at least twice a day, I have noticed that, while my teeth do feel cleaner, they are not as white as they used to be and are a more sensitive. I will continue to use, but will likely use in addition to my regular toothpaste.

Not a fan of the flavor but I still like it nonetheless. Rebought in a new flavor and it’s much better. But would still recommend for the hydroxypatite

I tried switching to another hydroxyapatite toothpaste (David’s) and both me and my boyfriends teeth started feeling terribly painful by the end of the tube. Immediately after my first brush returning to Boka, my sensitivity felt significantly better. It’s an incredible product. When I was using it consistently for months, my sensitivity was completely gone and my enamel looked regenerated. I can’t recommend it enough. I just tried the lemon lavender flavor and it’s sooo pleasant
