Review: Eco-Dent Res-Q-Dent Natural Gel Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth

Natural toothpastes often get poor reviews from dentists, as there is the perception that they can leave teeth sensitive. When my dentist told me I had sensitive teeth due to receding gums, I was determined to find a natural toothpaste that worked. I didn't find a lot of options, but fortunately, I found one that effectively densensitized: Eco-Dent Res-Q-Dent Natural Gel Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth.

Pros:
  • Uses same tooth desensitizer as traditional toothpastes (5% potassium nitrate)
  • Very natural
  • Mild minty taste
  • Cleans well
  • Nice and foamy

Cons:
  • May feel a bit powdery when finished

Summary:
Eco-Dent Res-Q-Dent Natural Gel Toothpaste for Sensitive Teeth rates a remarkably low 1 on the EWG Skin Deep database. Please keep in mind that, as with any sensitive toothpaste, the product should be used exclusively for 2-3 weeks to see results. I found that this toothpaste worked with almost exactly the same effectiveness as my dentist-recommended, animal-tested alternative. I was happy to see that this is likely due to the use of the same tooth desensitizer (5% potassium nitrate). The texture is very similar to traditional toothpastes and it lathers well. I highly recommend this toothpaste for any looking for a natural alternative to conventional sensitive toothpastes.

Also available on Amazon.com.
