Boka Natural Toothpaste Fluoride Free Reviews Summary

Flavor

Pros:

• "The mint is very mild and not overpowering like most toothpaste brands."
• "Light, refreshing lemon taste. Not overpowering."
• "The lemon/lavender tastes great."
• "The taste is very smooth and pleasant with light tones of lemon and faint lavender."
• "The flavor is amazing! The other brand uses a mint flavor that is WAY too strong and artificial tasting."
• "I love the flavor, it’s a light mostly lemon flavor with a hint of lavender. It’s not over powering."
• "This lemon lavender tastes like so good and the after flavor reminds me of a cup of earl grey tea which is my favorite flavor ever!"

Cons:

• "I accidentally got the lemon lavender when I meant to get the mint. It smells so good but is so hard for me *personally* to tolerate for some reason that it makes me gag."
• "It tastes like a mix of the candy lemon heads and actual fresh cut lavender."
• "However, i could barely manage the ELLA MINT flavor."
• "Also, I found the cherry blossom flavor unpleasant in general and overly sweet."
• "The flavors--Ela Mint and Coco Ginger--were tolerable but unsavory."
• "This toothpaste taste horrible and my teeth don’t feel clean at all after I brush."
• "The sting minty flavor makes me gag."

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "I've suffered with extremely sensitive teeth for many years, but this tooth paste has mitigated the issue, almost completely."
• "Tastes great, makes teeth, gums and mouth feel clean, fresh and healthy. Foams well, only a little needed to get the job done. Well worth the price."
• "I had a few molars removed and the surrounding remaining teeth had receded gum line. That made the area of that tooth quite sensitive. After using this for about 2 weeks, I don't feel the pain there anymore."
• "It has remineralized teeth and helped very small cavities to even heal."
• "I used to have sensitive teeth and couldn’t eat anything cold without being in pain, but now I can bite directly into an ice cream cone and no issues!"
• "This worked like magic on my sensitive teeth and gums."
• "It helps my extreme sensitivity, removes my coffee stains from my teeth, and it tastes great!"

Cons:

• "It seems my teeth are becoming quite sensitive and they are yellowing at a rapid rate when they otherwise weren’t terrible in color."
• "There is something about this toothpaste that made my gums feel like they keep getting more flappy over time."
• "But then my gums became swollen and irritated after a couple of weeks of use."
• "The paste is not abrasive enough and it does not clean the teeth very well, my gums started bleeding and they seem swollen."
• "It doesn’t do very well whitening already damaged teeth, however, if you use a whitening kit, this will maintain the white."
• "After using this toothpaste twice a day every single day for the past year, I can say that it has done absolutely nothing whatsoever for my tooth enamel."
• "This toothpaste does not do a good job of cleaning my teeth."

Customer Service

Pros:

• "I reached out directly to BOKA through their website contact page, asked them to correct the problem with me as their customer if the tube I opened was an aberration, and despite a return message stating, “Thanks for contacting us. We’ll get back to you as soon as possible”."

Cons:

• "I have not heard back."
• "If a company doesn’t have a customer service base to reply to concerns then I have to question how much do they really stand behind their product??"

Value

Pros:

• "I’ve been using it for 3 years and haven’t thought twice about the price, it’s an instant repurchase every time."
• "A bit expensive but a little goes a long way."
• "Worth the few extra bucks!"

Cons:

• "It is a bit expensive, in my opinion, especially because it didn't really work that well for me."
• "Very expensive for still having nasty chemicals inside. Disappointed"
• "Just pricey.. would like to see it cut down 40-50%."
• "However, I wish it wasn't so expensive."
• "The price is the only bummer about the product."

Ingredients

Pros:

• "No fluoride so no burning sensation to my gums."
• "I love this! Even at the cost it's worth it for me! Good fresh clean teeth, nice taste (I got cinnamon) clean ingredients, MY GO TOO!"
• "I'm tired of the poison in regular toothpaste. This is a cleaner way to go."
• "The ingredients were what sold me."
• "Happy to have found a non-toxic toothpaste."

Cons:

• "Also if you look online for what the color toothpaste strips indicate (blue, green, red and black) the black strip means it is a chemical compound toothpaste."
• "Glycerine gel flavored with bubble gum( says it is cherry blossom). Most definitely not good for children."
• "False advertising saying this is 'natural'."
• "I was hoping this toothpaste was surfactant free, and was badly disappointed to see they included Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate in their formula."
• "Fluoride is the only useful thing in toothpaste. Without it, your teeth will not remineralize, you’ll be more prone to cavities."
