is this toothpaste as good as it claims to be?

Yes, love it. It's the only one I've purchased for the past couple years now. And I've tried so many other natural toothpaste brands that were far too chalky for me.

This product is thinner than toothpaste. I tried using it as toothpaste, but I quickly abandoned that effort. It's better used as a tongue gel. Toothpaste has more substance to it.

I personally have not noticed much of a difference. I may have better results if I pay to have my cat's teeth cleaned professionally and then use this brush as maintenance. I will say that my cat doesn't mind the process and really enjoys the flavor of the toothpaste!

This toothpaste works by itself. Or it can be used after professional whitening. No toothpaste will significantly whiten your teeth but this toothpaste is the best I've ever used, it cleans and brightens your smile nicely.

Gail, thanks to you I have checked on line with Arm & Hammer and found that they have another toothpaste that is free of SLS. Go to their website and look for the one that is free of this acid. I just ordered some from Amazon.com and hope that it will prove to be better -- thanks!!

I have never thought about using this as tooth paste. I have noticed when I use a wet cloth to wipe up any spills of Xanthan gum, the cloth gets a slimy, slippery feeling to it. This texture would bother me so I probably won't try this one for toothpaste. I use natural toothpaste made with essential oils so I am not getting the harmful toxins from commercial pastes. I would be interested in other's responses to this question.

I've experienced teeth whiteneing with this product and it has not caused any sensitivity.

According to the packaging, Gail, it does. Is that a harmful substance? I am not familiar with any reports on it but now that you asked, I will check it out for myself. I have enjoyed using the toothpaste and not found any difficulties with it and several dentists to whom I've spoken have said that it was good to use. I've been using it for several years. Hope this helps.

It did not work on my regular teeth..I don't know why these people are lying about the product. If you want to whiten teeth then go to the dentist and get it done the right way.

I have not but that sounds like an excellent idea that I will definitely try myself, since coconut oil is known for its soothing and medicinal properties. Also, the coconut oil mixed with the powder, if kept cool, would probably provide a consistency more like traditional toothpaste.

Hey Roseanne, I'm not sure of this brand, but it looks like another knock off like the diamond Ultrasonic tooth brush I bought from Groupon a couple years back, which went in the trash six months later. Here's what I've learned about Groupon on things like this. Groupon is great for deals on certain things, but if it involves your health just pay the extra and buy a quality product. You might be saving $50 bucks and it could be a decent tooth brush, but if it's not you'll pay the difference in filling cavities. So my advice, pay the extra and stick with a brand you know works.

If you require deep cleanings usually, this product won't do that job. But it does help a lot in removing built up plaque that is superficial. I have used it for at least once-twice a week and then flossing every day and my teeth feel super clean!

I have this model and so far no issues with it. I feel it cleans my teeth plenty good enough, not disappointed.

I have read that it will whiten teeth, I personally do not know from experience.

Yes, it helps. I've been using it for several years and it has reduced the cleaning time at my dentist visits and has maintained my oral health. My dentist and hygienist have commented on how healthy my teeth and gums are.
