My grandfather unflinchingly included teeth brushing as one of the original 18-in-1 uses of the Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap. I don’t deny that. It works. It will clean your teeth. But it tastes like soap. He had the happy advantage of being able to take his teeth out of his mouth before he brushed them, so perhaps he didn’t notice?
In 2015, Dr. Bronner’s came out with the All-One Toothpaste, with 70% organic ingredients. I still remember those days when the toothpaste was in development and anyone who walked through the office got snagged to try out the latest formulation. I’m sure our dentists were all blown away by our super clean teeth. All the time and care in development was totally worth it – the toothpaste took off and hasn’t looked back.
In true Dr. Bronner’s style, it flouts many cultural norms: it doesn’t produce copious foam, it doesn’t contain fluoride, and it doesn’t have artificial whiteners or anything else. It also contains ingredients you don’t see elsewhere. I mean, coconut flour? Are we making a cake here or brushing our teeth? These differences generate a lot of questions from consumers. These are our teeth we’re talking about after all. We want them to last a lifetime!
Because of this cultural defiance and consumer uncertainty, I sought the input of someone who knows a whole lot more than I do – as many do – on what really matters. Dr. Mariza Muñoz, a dentist and orthodontist, gives us some insight into the whys and wherefores of this toothpaste’s unique ingredients and how they work.
To put to rest any nagging doubts, Dr. Muñoz received no compensation other than what you see at the end of the video. Then again, those were a pretty fine set of soap dentures I gave her at the end…

Safe for dogs?
Desert Essence uses NEEM in their toothpaste that by the way I use to use since I found yours, what could be the difference in quality and teeth fighting natural agents in that? By the way I LOVE CINNAMON 😀👍
I love the Spearmint
What about the Citric Acid?
Doe it prevent cavities?
misinformation. you do not get dental dosages of floride from drinking water, and the little you do isn't applied to your teeth as efficiently as you would when brushing with fluoridated toothpaste.
I wish they cut out the glycerin though ☹️
Ok but you never mentioned weather or not it prevents cavities…
I heard a very elderly dentist say that you don't even need toothpaste… even just water and brushing (and flossing!) is enough to remove food particles that would otherwise harbor the harmful bacteria. Toothpaste is just a massive and long going marketing scam thats been ingrained in our heads since childhood and many dentists hold stock in toothpaste making companies.. it's too big to stop. (Edit- and yes I use Dr. Bronners Toothpaste lol)
Is this toothpaste ok for sensitive gums?
Are you actually a real bronner employee or just a leach?
You do not want flouride intake from of water. Get it from Green Tea if anything
That was unexpectedly entertaining and informative… 🪥🧼🫧
Started using this a year ago based on the lack of harmful chemicals etc
But a year on and my gum/teeth health has deteriorated.
I am not attributing this to the toothpaste but would just like to find out if anybody else has experienced this ?
So does the tooth paste prevent cavities?
But this toothpaste has no expiration date. Kinda weird. How do you explain that?
@5:01 "…and normally children like the Anise one, because…"
I am no child, and I like the Anise flavor.
I purchased the 4-pack (consisting of 1 tube, each, of the 4 flavors (now that Spearmint is available)).
I tried the Spearmint first, and it was very good. It took a few brushings, to get used to the absence of foam (that I was conditioned, over the decades, to expect). Now I prefer the absence of foam.
Next, I tried the Anise flavor.
Initially, I preferred the Spearmint. But like a song that does not initially grab you, the Anise flavor grew on me. I now prefer it over the Spearmint flavor.
I have yet to try the cinnamon flavor or the peppermint flavor. But I expect that they will both taste good (maybe I will discover a new favorite?).
Air pockets:
For decades, I was using popular brands found in the supermarket. Without exception (as far as I remember), they all had air pockets.
So you are squeezing the tube, and suddenly you lose 25% of what you thought was paste in the tube, because that pocket of air suddenly get released.
I have not had any air pockets in my Dr. Bronner's tubes (and I am close to finishing my second tube). So what you see and feel is what you get. No deceptive larger tube, 25% filled with air.
Lastly:
I do not know if it is my imagination, but my mouth feels cleaner. It took a couple of weeks, and it hit me, that my mouth feels fresher and natural.
Cheers!
Lisa, this is the third or fourth video of yours I have watched and I have to tell you, I love that they are direct, simple and to the point without an endless chatter, which as an older adult I respect and admire are! 😂 I just moved into a new home and haven't set up everything yet, as I wanted to make my own to 1. save money, but 2. get rid of all the chemicals and dyes and plastics etc that are in the products these days. Thank you for showing me how to use these products – which by the way I all ready have in my home but wasn't sure how to use. 🤪I'll be looking for more of your videos to learn more. 🤩🥰
I just started using this toothpaste. I miss the foaming action of regular tootpaste, but I like the ingredients.
I just tried Dr Bronner’s toothpaste for the first time when and got the Spearmint—now I’m going to HAVE to try the others especially cinnamon and anise
What if you drink reverse osmosis water, thus not drinking fluoride?
This is the best tooth paste I've ever used. It makes my mouth feel cleaner than ever. Thank you Dr. Bronners!
I really like this toothpaste, it doesn't leave the nasty taste in my mouth like fluoridated toothpaste does. It helps me enjoy brushing my teeth. I couldnt care less that it doesnt foam, because it tastes good. I only wish it had nano-hydroxy apitite in it.
Whats up with the background music? This is different 😂
My toothpaste of choice just wish Walmart would sell it for less money its expensive but its the best in the market.
I look forward to use Dr. Bronner Toothpaste and soaps
Great video and very informative. 💗✨
I'm gonna wait for more flavors and higher fluoride content options. I already could go for the cinnamon but not with so little fluoride.
Hi Lisa,
I started using Dr. Bronner’s recently. I have one suggestion and one feedback:
1) Please ask your research team to study about xylitol. It improves teeth health by a great extent.
2) Bronner’s toothpaste easily falls off of the toothbrush. So, I end up being unable to use the toothpaste for at least 30-40% of the times
Nothing about soy is organic.
I used revitin which is also good but I love the spearmint and mouthfeel. Amazing toothpaste!
