We’ve been using Uncle Harry’s Remineralization Toothpaste as a family, and we absolutely love it! It has a strong, minty, herbal taste that leaves our mouths feeling super fresh and clean. The texture is definitely different from typical toothpaste—it’s more of a natural, clay-like paste—but we got used to it quickly and now actually prefer it. What I really appreciate is that my kids use it too and they don’t mind the taste at all. It’s great knowing they’re using something with clean, natural ingredients that help support their teeth without unnecessary chemicals. I feel good about what we’re putting in our mouths every day. The quality has been excellent, shipping was fast, and a little goes a long way with this toothpaste. It’s definitely become a daily staple in our home for both me and my kids, and I plan to keep using it long term! Read more
I’ve always struggled with sensitive teeth. Every dentist I went to recommended Sensodyne which I was already using for years, insanely enough. I switched to this stuff for the purpose of remineralizing and natural disinfectant qualities. Voila! All sensitivity GONE, even during routine dental cleanings. I always get a good review of gum and dental health when in the past, while on sensodyne, I always had at least one cavity and significant sensitivity where I needed breaks in between teeth while cleaning. It was awful. I can’t believe this simple switch solved all my dental ailments. Taste is not delicious but I don’t care. I want natural and efficient. I also buy the dropper slurry solution from this same brand and use every once in a while. When I get lazy and decrease on flossing, I get some gum irritation when I do get back to flossing regularly but I make sure to also add the dropper solution to help minimize irritation. Works like a charm. Fresh breath, strong healthy teeth and gums, no sensitivity, and my kids telling me my teeth look white, what’s not to love. I’m on my third order of multiple jars. This last order was the 4 jars since now my boys are using it too. Read more
I've been using this for years. My teeth always feel extremely clean after using. My husband and I haven't had any new cavities since switching to Uncle Harry's 3 years ago. My husband and I haven't had any issues with gum soreness or tooth sensitivity since we started using this product. I haven't noticed any significant change in the whiteness of our teeth, but that wasn't our motivation for switching to Uncle Harry's in the first place. Take heed if you are allergic to or sensitive to cinnamon, peppermint, or spearmint because Uncle Harry's does not go light on these essential oils! Some people are concerned about the lead warning, but the lead is not readily bioavailable. This of course depends on your nutrition and health status, route of exposure, particulate size, etc. Instead bentonite clay has a poly-cationic nature which allows it to act as a detoxifying agent that draws out toxins if/when ingested. Various studies have actually been conducted throughout the years to this effect. If you are interested in the science of bentonite clay, continue reading. There's tons of scientific peer reviewed literature available on PubMed, NCBI, EuropePMC, Google Scholar and many more. At the end of the day, you have to make your own informed decision. 1. Calcium Montmorillonite Clay (UPSN) has been safely administered orally to children suffering from adverse effects of aflatoxin (AF) exposure in Ghana. After the 14 day study, hematology and serum mineral analysis were conducted. Statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the placebo group were noted for serum Na+ and Cl− which significantly increased (P < 0.01), decreased Ca+ levels, and decreased Mg2+ levels. However, levels in all groups remained well within the normal US pediatric range.

In pigs, the feeding supplementation of montmorillonite for 100 days, reduced lead concentration in blood, brain, liver, bone, kidney and hair. Yu DY, Li XL, Li WF. (2008).

Consistently in sheep, it was concluded the dietary Cu bioavailability could be decreased by oral supplements of bentonite. Ivan M, Dayrell Mde S, Hidiroglou M. (1992).

Adverse effects such as fibrosis arise from inhalation of the clay particles especially if dispersed as a spray. Elmore, Amy R.

I went to the dentist recently after using this toothpaste for a few months, they had been keeping an eye on a cavity that was starting, and this time they said I have NO cavities! I love this toothpaste, it's consistently a great flavor and so easy to use! The ingredients are super clean and healthy and it naturally whitens your teeth! It smells and tastes good, but you do need to know it does not foam up and it does not taste like regular toothpaste! It's very salty, but it works sooo good. Great value for the cost, I got two in this set, and it lasts longer than a tube of toothpaste because you don't have to use as much each time you brush. It's always consistent when I purchase it too! Love this and love how it protects my teeth without flouride! Read more
