Greater than one weekOk, 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 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 dayBeen using sensodyne for years and had extreme sensitivity after finishing Invisalign and trying to whitening my teeth a little. Tried this for a couple weeks. But for money this didn’t seem to work as well as what I had been using. So went back to my old standby. To be fair sensodyne isn’t completely resolving as it usually does but didn’t see need in my case to pay extra if not much improved.

> 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’ve been using this Boka toothpaste for about a month. I am NEVER going back to regular toothpaste. I was struggling with tooth sensitivity and had a rather large and embarrassing cavity forming between two of my front teeth. I heard hydroxyapatite can remineralize your teeth so I decided to try it. IT WORKS. Within a week I noticed my tooth sensitivity was decreasing. Within two weeks I noticed that my cavity was visibly lighter in color. Now a month in it is smaller, and a light grayish color instead of the dark brownish-black it was. It literally looks like a stain instead of a cavity. On top of that, my mouth just feels cleaner and healthier. My teeth are definitely whiter. And the flavor is nice and mild, unlike some toothpastes that are too minty and burn my mouth. I’m SO impressed. I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone.

> 3 dayI ordered all three to try the different flavors. They are all nice if you like the actual flavor. Mint tastes like what youd expect toothpaste to taste like. The Coco Ginger, if you like ginger, is very good. I was super impressed with the lemon lavender as its light and refreshing.

21-11-2024This is one of the few toothpastes that I’ve found that is free of mints & tea tree oils. Those are known antidotes to many homeopathic remedies.
