Lead Safe Mama, a small business focused on lead-poisoning prevention, sent 51 toothpaste products to an independent lab for testing.

The lineup included household names like Crest, Colgate, Sensodyne, Orajel, Burt’s Bees, Tom’s of Maine, and Hello.

A staggering 90 percent tested positive for lead, 65 percent contained arsenic, 47 percent had mercury and 35 percent were found to have cadmium. Many products were found to have more than one of these toxins.

I have to ask my wife where she gets it. I don't think it's amazon.

Also, get a water pik and use it after meals on the high setting if you want to keep your teeth.

I already floss daily. I'm not concerned on that front. The dentist always says there's hardly anything for him to do when I go in for a cleaning.

I try to stay on top of my teeth these days. They cost me a fortune years ago due to neglect, lack of insurance, and a horrible dentist.

She gets it online from japanese vendors. She didn't have a specific one to mention. Direct shop is here: https://sangishop.jp/
