The only toothpaste I bother with

Grind is my favorite toothpaste. If you're stuck in the Colgate/Crest loop, this toothpaste will change your mind about what toothpaste could and should be. The toothpaste literally sparkles and has whitened my teeth substantially, and without peroxide or other chemicals. It tastes great and is less overwhelmingly minty than common commercial brands. I started getting positive feedback from my hygienist almost immediately when I started to using Grind and have been using it for years now. I cannot recommend it enough.

Made in America and small business

Loving this toothpaste... Made in America made me buy it! First, no fluoride, second taste's great and leaves my teeth feeling clean.

Finally, effective protection without fluoride!

Grind is the first hydroxyapatite toothpaste I've ever tried, and I don't think I'll go back! It leaves my teeth feeling clean and glossy without irritating my gums or mouth at all. Lots of brand-name toothpastes dry out my mouth or cause a mild skin reaction, but this one cleans gently and effectively. No sulfates, parabens, peroxide or other harsh chemicals - it's got lots of nourishing natural ingredients instead. The mint flavor is nice and refreshing but not overly harsh. What sealed the deal for me was reading research on the effects of hydroxyapatite compared to fluoride. Both are equally effective at protecting teeth from cavities and decay, but hydroxyapatite (unlike fluoride) is biomimetic - meaning it is the same compound the body uses to repair enamel naturally. There's a decent amount of research to back up its use in dental health, and I'm really not sure why it's not more popular in American toothpastes! Many natural / fluoride-free toothpastes don't choose ingredients that prevent cavities in the same way, and the handful that do are expensive and hard to find. If you're used to heavy-duty whitening toothpaste, the activated charcoal in this formula won't give you the same "glowing" effect, but I find it very effective over time to remove stains on teeth. It's also a little pricier than most drugstore brands, but I'm happy to pay the premium for a product with an ingredient list I can understand and trust... ESPECIALLY for a product I'm putting in my mouth twice a day. I hope it's back in stock soon, I really don't want to switch back to anything else!

Love this toothpaste!

I love this toothpaste! The mint flavor isn't too strong, it cleans my teeth well, and my teeth are slightly whiter. I drink a few cups of coffee each day, so a whitening toothpaste is very important to me. I've used it for a year now and won't be changing any time soon. The hydroxyapatite in it is also great for strengthening your teeth!

Hydroxyapaite is better than fluoride.

Hydroxyapaite is what teeth are made of, it remineralizes teeth better. The xylitol sweeter helps fight bacteria. Every ingredient either fights bacteria or helps to remineralize. Don't let the black color dissuade you, it whitens teeth, and the charcoal removes plaque. My wife said it leaves black spots on the sink, I pointed out that white tooth paste leaves spots also you just don't see them. You can't clean what you don't see, so it helps us keep the sink cleaner.
