Dr Sheffields Certified Toothpaste Extra Whitening Reviews Summary

Flavor

Pros:

• "Really like the peppermint flavor, it's strong enough to give it an interesting flavor but not overpowering like some others are."
• "Pleasant, mild, hot-chocolate flavor."
• "It’s a mild minty cinnamon flavor that is very pleasant."
• "Tastes GREAT, no fluoride, and the ingredients are good."
• "The flavor is incredible, too."
• "This has a wonderful refreshing burst of cinnamon flavor."
• "It tastes like chocolate milk!"

Cons:

• "I really wish it was more minty and less sweet."
• "The cinnamon was too strong and immediately burned my mouth."
• "It just tasted awful, not like berry anything, and had a pasty gross texture too."
• "Ordered peppermint and tastes nothing like peppermint."
• "It smells like tootsie rolls, but does not taste like them at all."
• "I bought this toothpaste with the hope of getting a cinnamon taste. However, after using it, I realized that it tasted more like hot mint."
• "I don’t love the flavor (chocolate), but it’s better than mint, so that’s something."

Packaging

Pros:

• "Dr. Sheffield's packaging is wonderful."
• "I love the aluminum-style casing and the tip is like a pastry tip—it adds little very oddly pleasing grooves/ridges as it comes out of the tube."
• "That being said, it comes in a fully recyclable package."
• "Love the silver foil tube (sort of a throw back to old days)."
• "Okay, the packaging is so pretty. I love it, it looks like lotion, and is just generally fancy."
• "Actually, I kind of like the unusual packaging, it isn't plastic which is good... just hoping I can get all the toothpaste out."
• "I was OK with all the ingredients in this until I saw Carrageenan in it."

Cons:

• "You either can't get toothpaste, or half the tube comes out & is wasted."
• "The top of the tube gets a grayish tinge from the leaching of metals into the paste."
• "Both tubes started leaking out of the bottom and middle of the tube, where tiny tears appeared as the tube was squeezed."
• "The packaging I’m not happy with. Wish the description would have mentioned that it’s plastic and can’t be recycled."
• "The tube/lid is horrible! It screws off & on and the toothpaste constantly comes out."
• "The tube is INCREDIBLY difficult to squeeze the toothpaste out."
• "The aluminum style tube cracks if you don't squeeze your toothpaste just right and toothpaste then comes out of the holes you've now created."

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "I love how the smooth paste feels in my mouth - the paste is soft and spreads nicely around my mouth."
• "No foaminess, a little gritty but not unpleasantly so (like baking soda toothpaste but without the baking soda flavor)."
• "It’s thick, creamy, luxurious."
• "I love this toothpaste’s texture— it feels like it really cleans my teeth."
• "This toothpaste has the most perfect consistency as any I’ve ever used."
• "I've tried natural and fluoride free toothpastes in the past and didn't like the taste or texture. However, this is smooth and creamy."
• "This tastes incredible like pure chocolate fudge."

Cons:

• "It feels like I am brushing my teeth with cake icing.. a very cheap tasting cake icing at that."
• "The consistency is unpleasant though. It's too thick."
• "The flavor of this product is great. However, its consistency is poor. It is very thin and runny."
• "It's thick like regular toothpaste (almost too thick - it's really hard to squeeze) and doesn't have a super sweet taste."
• "It tends to dry out halfway through the tube and I wind up cutting the tube in half and then scooping the paste out."
• "Paste is kinda thick so it takes a bit to work it properly into the brush."
• "The aluminum style tube cracks if you don't squeeze your toothpaste just right and toothpaste then comes out of the holes you've now created."

Health and Safety

Pros:

• "Healthy paste without unnecessary chemicals, very refreshing."
• "Great, gentle toothpaste for kids and people with autism/sensory issues."
• "I'm a fan of this toothpaste. After discovering what's in traditional toothpastes marketed by Corporate America, I couldn't continue to use them."
• "This is the most refreshing, fluoride free toothpaste that I have ever used!"
• "Glad to have found Dr. Sheffield's when I was looking for ANY toothpaste that does not contain titanium dioxide."
• "It is great to find a toothpaste that has no fluouride or other harmful ingredients that make your mouth sore and still cleans your teeth well."
• "What I was looking was the all natural as well as fluoride free toothpaste, this product has great flavor, as well as if you have any reaction to fluoride I would recommend this toothpaste."

Cons:

• "Product contains xylitol which is highly toxic to dogs."
• "Aluminum has been linked to dementia. Will not use anymore."
• "Toothpaste great. Liked very much. Will not continue to use because of the aluminum packaging for an in-your-mouth product. Plastic not good either for environment."
• "The Sensitive version of this toothpaste burned my mouth and lips."
• "Contains xylitol, stevia and carrageenan, maybe you don't mind these, but to me, they just about make me sick."
• "The takeaway: this toothpaste has glycerin in it and glycerin coats your teeth which stops the remineralization process."
• "I just went to reorder this for the third time and saw it now comes in an aluminum tube! Woo hoo! I'm buying this brand to eliminate SLS and other toxic chemicals found in other toothpastes. So what do they do? Put in a container made of aluminum, that has been shown to cause Alzheimer’s disease and respiratory problems."
