Which Aloe Dent toothpaste is right for you?

The main decision when shopping the Aloe Dent range is whether you want a toothpaste with fluoride or without it. From there, you can narrow the range according to sensitivity, whitening, flavour and other ingredient preferences.

Aloe Dent is particularly popular with shoppers looking for SLS-free toothpaste. SLS, or sodium lauryl sulphate, is a foaming ingredient found in many conventional toothpastes. Some people simply prefer a toothpaste without it, while others find heavily foaming formulas uncomfortable or irritating.

Fluoride or fluoride-free Aloe Dent toothpaste?

Aloe Dent makes both fluoride and fluoride-free toothpaste, so it is important to check the individual product rather than assuming the whole brand follows one approach.

The fluoride formulas are the place to start when you want the cavity-protection benefits of fluoride while still choosing an SLS-free Aloe Dent toothpaste. The range includes options for whitening and sensitive teeth.

The fluoride-free range offers more variety, including everyday mint toothpaste, sensitive, whitening, coconut oil and activated charcoal formulas. These products suit shoppers who have made a personal decision to avoid fluoride, but fluoride-free toothpaste does not provide the same established protection against tooth decay. Your dentist is the right person to ask when you are unsure which option is appropriate for your teeth.

Aloe Dent toothpaste for sensitive teeth

Aloe Dent offers sensitive toothpaste in both fluoride and fluoride-free formulas. This means you do not have to choose between your fluoride preference and finding a toothpaste made with sensitive teeth and gums in mind.

Tooth sensitivity can have many causes, so toothpaste may only be one part of the answer. New, persistent or worsening sensitivity should always be checked by a dentist rather than continually covered up with a different product.

Aloe Dent whitening and charcoal toothpaste

If tea, coffee, red wine or smoking has left visible surface staining, look at the Aloe Dent whitening toothpastes. There are fluoride and fluoride-free whitening options, allowing you to make that choice separately.

The Triple Action Charcoal Toothpaste is another fluoride-free option for shoppers who enjoy the strong mint flavour and feel of an activated charcoal formula. Whitening and charcoal toothpastes primarily help with surface stains; they will not change the natural underlying colour of your teeth in the way professional whitening can.

A gentler-tasting option with coconut oil

The Aloe Dent Coconut Oil Toothpaste is fluoride free and combines coconut oil with aloe vera. It is worth considering when you want something different from the brand’s stronger mint and charcoal options.

Aloe Dent toothpaste for children

The Aloe Dent Children’s Toothpaste has a strawberry flavour and is made without fluoride or SLS. The smaller tube is designed specifically for children rather than being an adult toothpaste with child-friendly packaging.

Always follow the age directions on the tube, supervise younger children while brushing and teach them to spit the toothpaste out rather than swallow it. Ask your child’s dentist when you are uncertain about the most appropriate fluoride choice for their age and individual dental needs.

Completing your routine with Aloe Dent mouthwash

The Aloe Dent Aloe Vera & Tea Tree Mouthwash is an alcohol-free option with a cool mint taste. It can be used alongside brushing and cleaning between the teeth when you want extra freshness, but it should not replace either step.

Follow the directions on the bottle and avoid swallowing mouthwash. When using a fluoride toothpaste, dental professionals may recommend using mouthwash at a different time of day rather than rinsing immediately after brushing.

Aloe Dent is not only toothpaste

The Aloe Dent range also includes an aloe vera lip balm for dry lips. It is a useful little addition to a dental care order, particularly for people who experience dry lips during colder weather or spend a lot of time in air conditioning.
