> 3 dayI cut dyes out of my daughters foods, but never thought to look into other products. Well recently I became aware that toothpaste has not only dyes, but SLS (sodium laurel sulfate). Ive always known that toothpaste has a neurotoxin known as flouride, but not how it could be effecting my toddlers teeth. After we started using flouride (about 18 months old, when she could understand you cant swallow the toothpaste) she developed dark staining on her front two teeth. I immediately took her to the dentist, and they told me it was from sugar sitting on her teeth after nursing. I never argued that, until we switched to BOKA. A month after boka, my girls staining was less noticeable. My husband also uses this kind because mint makes him gag (on the spectrum) and he says his teeth have never felt so clean. I have ocd with my teeth, and this is the first Flouride-free paste that feels like it cleans my teeth well. No grittyness or film is leftover. I have always suffered from sensitive teeth, and our dds has suggested letting sensodyne sit on my teeth. Again, I never questioned it. After 2 months of using boka, I dont even think twice about eating ice cream or drinking a cold drink. Our dds confirmed that our teeth are in tip top shape, and a soft spot I had last visit (6 mos ago) is no longer soft, just dark. After our exam, I told her we switched to flouride free and she was speechless. I have never in my life gotten a good report at the dds, and always chalked it up to bad genetics- after all I brush and floss at least 2x a day! This stuff is a miracle product, I tell everyone to switch from traditional toothpaste!!!! Wish it was available in stores, hopefully I can recruit enough customers that it will be!

> 3 dayI never thought I’d be a person with a favorite toothpaste, but I’ve been using this stuff for years now after seeing a TikTok praising nanohydroxyapatite and I will not use another brand. It works great, tastes clean and my teeth always feel better after brushing.

> 3 dayI purchased this toothpaste on a recommendation from our daughter. We were visiting and I noticed how healthy and white her teeth looked. Our dentist told us years ago that because of a high fever in an illness as a toddler had caused her teeth enamel (emerging teeth) to not develop properly. Shes had issues with this over the years. And cannot use commercial whitening products. But her teeth appeared so healthy and white that I noticed. She then told me about this toothpaste. Both my husband and I are very pleased. It does a superb job of cleaning (we use elec. brushes) and I have noticed that my teeth are whiter. Its a natural white not artificial. Our teeth/gums appear healthier. It is a bit more expensive than drugstore brands but less expensive than dental work! One may have to get accustomed in that it does not foam very much and has a pretty mild taste. These are relatively small matters to me as the investment in my overall dental health is worth it. Also, the results appear over time. Weve been using this toothpaste for about four weeks. Our daughter gifted us with a tube to try out before making the purchase. I am very pleased with this purchase.

> 3 dayFor decades Ive suffered from skin peeling on the inside of my mouth after brushing my teeth. I thought it was a normal part of brushing your teeth since Ive experienced it for so long. I just assumed that it happened to everyone and was a sign that the active ingredients in the toothpaste were doing their job and cleaning your mouth. It was only after a dental hygienist took a huge piece of gooey and disgusting dead skin out of my mouth and showed it to me that I realized that this wasnt normal. She asked me what toothpaste I used, and I told her Crest 3D White. She told me to try using toothpastes free of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) since thats a common irritant. I tried Arm & Hammer Essentials toothpaste since its SLS free, and while it helped a bit, I was still experiencing quite a bit of skin peeling in my mouth. I thought this was the most I could hope for and resigned myself to always suffering from this problem for the rest of my life. Fast forward several months and I randomly came across an article online written by a dentist which included the top 5 toothpastes that he recommends. And in that article he recommended Boka toothpaste as his top choice for a fluoride-free toothpaste and went on to explain that the active ingredient in Boka toothpaste was something called Hydroxyapatite - which has been the gold standard anti-cavity ingredient in Japanese toothpaste for decades. Ive never really been paranoid about avoiding fluoride, but I decided to give Boka toothpaste a shot since I figured that Japan seems to have pretty good health and safety standards in general. And so if they trusted Hydroxyapatite, then it was probably safe and effective. I also asked my dentist about it, and he gave it the thumbs up. I was so happy when I used it the first time and experienced ZERO irritation. No stinging, which I always experienced with normal toothpaste, and, most importantly, NO SKIN PEELING ON THE INSIDE OF MY MOUTH. I was thrilled, and surprised. I couldnt believe that I finally found a solution to this chronic allergic reaction to normal toothpaste that Ive been experiencing for my entire life, and only after one use! And so this toothpaste gets a 5 stars from me for that alone. To rate the other aspects of the toothpaste, the mint taste seems more mild and natural. And so thats a plus as well. But theres a couple of minor downsides. 1) its a bit pricey, but thats not a deal breaker for me since I only use a pea sized amount twice a day; whereas with other toothpastes I used to use about an inch of toothpaste. 2) the twist-off cap is slightly annoying since Im worried about dropping it and having to wash it. I much prefer the always-attached flip cap design on more mainstream toothpastes. And 3) I prefer the metallic bodies of old school toothpaste tubes since it makes it easier to roll it up as you use it and get every last drop out of it. But again, those 3 minor gripes arent enough to prevent me from giving this toothpaste 5 stars. Ill always be grateful for this company and a loyal customer for creating a toothpaste which cured a chronic health issue that I had been dealing with ever since I was a kid. Please never stop making it!

> 3 dayOk, I’ll admit it. I’m 30 years old and I have always hated brushing my teeth. That is almost 11,000 days of my life I have struggled with brushing my teeth. Like, I still did, but not everyday and I hated it. I know I need to. I want to! I want pretty, healthy teeth. I thought long and hard about what I didn’t like- I didn’t like the foamy mess that often made me gag, I didn’t like how mint affected the taste of food, I didn’t like the “tingly clean” sensation that lasted for hours, especially when I went to bed. I bought nearly every non-mint flavor of toothpaste on Amazon and tried them. Boka changed my life. I have brushed my teeth twice a day (or more!), every day since I tried this stuff. My teeth are whiter and cleaner. Now that my morning routine is complete, instead of a nagging “you still need to brush your teeth,” my days start strong. I’ve decluttered my entire house. I’m on top of my professional work. My laundry is all washed and folded. Wtf. This stuff is magic. I think the ginger flavor is slightly better than the lemon flavor, but they’re both dope.

> 3 dayLove the taste also the fact that it can be left in your mouth after brushing and is safe to swallow.
