    Squigle. I cannot recommend this toothpaste enough, it literally changed my life. I used to be plagued regularly by canker sores (Painful ulcers inside the mouth, not to be confused with cold sores which occur outside the mouth), which occurred more frequently when I was stressed or sick, and lasted for a week or more. I switched to Squigle about 1.5 years ago and literally have not gotten a single canker sore since. Not an exaggeration, went from several per month to NONE, immediately.

    • American company, based in Pennsylvania
    • No Sodium Laurel Sulfate
    • Has Flouride (I live in Portland where the woo woo crystal healing crowd doesn’t let us fluoridate the drinking water)
    • Has a large amount of Xylitol, which has been correlated with canker sore reduction.

    I order this stuff by the pack because I’m terrified of them suddenly going out of business one day.

      Sounds great.

      Just wanted to point out really quick that xylitol is toxic to dogs; probably less of a concern with toothpaste but puppies are dumb and chew everything.

        Yeah definitely worth mentioning, I only forgot to because I don’t have a dog.

        Actually while we’re on the topic of lesser-known pet toxins, minoxidil (Rogaine and it’s generics) is super toxic to both cats and dogs in very small doses (Like, residue quantities) but has a month+ delayed effect so a lot of pet deaths attributed to it go unreported. Like it’s bad enough that if you or anyone you’re close with has a pet you shouldn’t be using it at all.
