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.

Non-issue. It's in the hydroxyapatite that they add. Don't use fluoride toothpaste, use hydroxyapatite toothpaste and don't swallow it. Premio Apaguard from Japan is the shit you want. They use conical nanohydroxyapatite and are the original company that developed the shit for NASA astronauts for some reason.

I might try that out. Is there a better place to get it other than Amazon?

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.
