User questions & answers

Question:	Agave is sugar right? Whay brush with sugar
Answer:	Yes, it is organic . smell is good
Question:	What are the ingredients (does it contain glycerin
Answer:	It depends. Are you using it for a castor oil pack? If so, it still depends on the individual. How long you leave the pack on, how much toxins you have in your body. I leave castor oil packs on overnight, and I have to throw them out after 2 uses, otherwise I start itching really badly. Opinions differ on how many times you should use the same piece of flannel for a castor oil pack.
Question:	Is this toothpaste SLS free
Answer:	You don't want to clean it after each use. It's more effective with the castor oil soaked in the fabric. It should be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator after each use to keep it from going rancid.
Question:	What are the “flavors” exactly? Aren’t Natural flavorings, artificial flavoring and even organic natural flavors technically a mixture of chemicals
Answer:	My understanding is it is good for hair growth. Check the internet. Google it.

Coconut Oil, What's The Deal?

For thousands of years coconut oil has been utilized as a natural way to maintain a healthy mouth. After insistent inquiries about a coconut oral care solution, Dr. Ginger, a leading cosmetic dentist, found nothing she liked. So she locked herself in the lab with a bag of coconuts intent on finding a solution and this delicious coconut oil toothpaste is the result!

No really, it's delicious!

Who said natural has to taste bad? A smooth and silky blend of coconut and mint, with a hint of sweetness from xylitol will leave your mouth tasting pleasant (and will leave bacteria behind).

What's with the xylitol?

Dentists know fluoride hardens the teeth - but xylitol is a different approach that makes the teeth slippery so the bacteria can’t stick. Oh and when the bacteria eat it, they can’t digest it.

Never run out of toothpaste again.

Brushing twice per day, the average 4oz tube of toothpaste lasts around 60 days. Try setting up a recurring delivery for every 2 months to save even more on your oral care.

Set and forget, and never run out of toothpaste again!

Question:	Is there supposed to be a seal on the toothpaste under the cap
Answer:	I love this toothpaste. I’ve always used crest products but this is my favorite and the mint taste better than some others I’ve used
Question:	How many grams of Xylitol
Answer:	Vanilla mint
Question:	Why does this product have a Proposition 65 warning
Answer:	Xylitol is one of the most amazing ingredients known today. When bad bacteria - the ones that cause cavities and gum disease - eat Xylitol, they die. Together with Coconut Oil, they also make the teeth slippery, discouraging the bacteria from sticking to the teeth. In addition, Coconut Oil has been scientifically proven to fight bacteria. These two powerful ingredients will help you maintain a healthy oral environment. The Team at Dr Ginger's

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this help with cavities? It doesn't state anywhere that it is anti cavity
Answer:	Depends on which flavor but most should whiten
Question:	Is tea tree a salicilate
Answer:	Warm the closed tube briefly under warm or hot water. This will liquify the coconut oil in the product and allow it to flow freely once you remove the cap.
Question:	Is this good for veneers
Answer:	Dr. Sheffield Toothpaste is not tested on animals. We love all animals!
Question:	Do you have a product that doesn’t contain glycerin
Answer:	To anyone who is concerned about Carageenan here is the science about it. Hope this helps!! Carrageenan (CGN) is a common food additive that has been widely used for decades as a gelling, thickening and stabilizing agent. Carrageenan has been proven safe for human consumption; however, there has been significant confusion in the literature between CGN and the products of intentional acid-hydrolysis of CGN, which are degraded CGN (d-CGN) and poligeenan (PGN). In part, this confusion was due to the nomenclature used in early studies on CGN, where poligeenan was referred to as “degraded carrageenan” (d-CGN) and “degraded carrageenan” was simply referred to as carrageenan. Although this nomenclature has been corrected, confusion still exists resulting in misinterpretation of data and the subsequent dissemination of incorrect information regarding the safe dietary use of CGN. The lack of understanding of the molecular weight distribution of CGN has further exacerbated the issue. The significant differences in chemistry, manufacture, and protein reactivity of CGN versus d-CGN and PGN are reviewed, in addition to the in vivo toxicological profiles of CGN, d-CGN, and PGN. As CGN cannot be hydrolyzed to PGN in vivo, concerns over the use of CGN as a food additive are unfounded, particularly since current studies support the lack of oncogenic and tumorigenic activity of CGN in humans.
