FAQs

Truthpaste improves oral health by harnessing the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of botanical essential oils. Truthpaste works to protect the whole mouth, not just keep teeth clean. Our carefully chosen natural ingredients work to actively fight plaque buildup and bacteria that can cause cavities and gum disease.

Our current ranges; Original, Charcoal and Kids, do not contain fluoride. 

We are very excited to be bringing our customers a fluoride range in the very near future. This will be available as a Kids range as well 

We feel strongly that there should be a choice of both fluoride and a non-fluoride product and look forward to providing that option.

A 100ml jar of Truthpaste will typically last for 3 months. That means that for less than 10p a day, you can revive your oral care routine! You can always see what our customers are saying by visiting our reviews

Whilst Truthpaste was not specifically formulated to help sensitivity, it is safe to use for those with sensitive teeth. Some of our customers report a decrease in sensitivity when using Truthpaste. 

We do not have a return scheme for our jars. This has been trialled and we found that the eco impact of such a small number of jars being transported and often damaged on the way was not in keeping with the most environmentally responsible and waste free option.

Used jars of Truthpaste can be easily repurposed in numerous ways, which is the most environmentally friendly thing to do with any used jars. Whilst reusing is always better, recycling glass can be done and is not all bad!

Recycled glass saves 50 percent energy versus virgin glass, and recycling just one glass container saves enough energy to light a 100-watt bulb for four hours.

Recycled glass generates 20 percent less air pollution and 50 percent less water pollution, and one ton of glass made from 50 percent recycled materials saves 250 pounds of mining waste.

Truthpaste Original was not developed specifically as a whitening toothpaste. However, many of our customers do mention that their teeth appear whiter after brushing. 

Our Charcoal range works to gently lift stains from teeth using activated charcoal from organic coconut husks.

We have developed Truthpaste Children's range with little teeth in mind. Truthpaste Kids is made with a soothing coconut and calendula base and a mild blend of essential oils which help keep little teeth and gums healthy. Truthpaste Kids flavours are much more mellow than our other ranges and suitable for the whole family to use. 

Truthpaste Kids is suitable for babies who are just getting their teeth to grown-ups that simply love the taste!

Some essential oils used in Truthpaste Original and Truthpaste Charcoal are not suitable and are too strong for children under 7 years of age. We recommend that you keep these products out of reach for small people.

Yes! Our kids formula is suitable for little kids and big kids alike. Some prefer the milder taste and coconut base of the kids, you can always order a travel size to try out before committing to a big pot.

Whilst some of the essential oils used in Truthpaste can be harmful if taken in excess during pregnancy, the levels of concentration do not pose any serious risk.

However, we advise caution and consultation with your doctor or pharmacist before using Truthpaste if pregnant or breastfeeding, or to use Truthpaste Mild Mint.

No! We use Xylitol which is very toxic for dogs, as well as a number of essential oils. Please do not use it on your pets as the ingredients are very harmful to them. If you are looking for a natural solution for your pet's teeth make sure to only use products specifically approved for them.
