Boka Natural Toothpaste, Fluoride Free - Nano Hydroxyapatite for Remineralizing, Sensitive Teeth, & Whitening - Dentist Recommended for Adult & Kids Oral Care - Ela Mint, 4oz 1 Pack - Made in USA

Love the smell and taste, my toddler loves it and it’s so easy to brush his teeth! I looked for months for a good ingredient toothpaste and I finally found it with this one, 10/10 recommend

For about a year, Boka Ela Mint was always out of stock when it was time to re-up on toothpaste. I ended up getting the ginger flavor, even though I was so-so on it without a basis for comparison. Finally got the Ela Mint, and it is fine, but a little strong. I prefer the Ginger and will order that flavor again when this runs out. I was slightly worried about the erythritol, but that recent study has a shifty methodology. People with those health conditions had elevated levels, but the body produces it and there is no indication that participants consumed it from other sources. I still try to minimize swallowing—it is toothpaste, after all. Edit: The Ela Mint flavor does not contain erythritol. Ginger does, but I stand by my preference.

I wanted a n-ha toothpaste and this one did not disappoint. Its helped with sensitivity and helped eliminate some surface level cavities.

Its only been about 3 weeks since I’ve started using boka, but I can say it makes my teeth a little extra smooth, which I’m guessing is a notion of clean. The other differentiating benefit I’ve seen is that the little aches in my gums (sensitivity) have subsided and my teeth feels alot stronger when biting and chewing food and fruits. Like other reviewers I havent seen the calcification yet, but I guess that takes time. I’ll write an update in a month.

Myself and my 3 kids ranging from 1 to 6 all love this toothpaste! I kind of miss that minty after taste but, it leaves my mouth still feeling fresh. I love that my kids and I can all use the same tube and that I can brush my teeth before breakfast and not have the food taste weird.

No need to choose between toxins and gum health or getting cavities. This gem leaves your teeth with a clean feel without the chemicals. We’ve been using this for several years now and not had a single cavity. My husband has also seen improvement in gum health since switching.

So far it’s been working well for me after a few months of usage. I don’t know if it’s actually reminderalizing my teeth as I heard glycerin counteracts the effects of the hydroxyapatite but I do feel better about not using SLS and fluoride on a daily basis. Pleasant taste and good consistency. Even my kids love it!

Update: 06/23/2023 I’m not that much of a fan of the Cinnamint. I think I was lead on to think it would taste like cinnamon. It tastes like cloves. Nothing is wrong with cloves, but it was not what I expected going by the flavor’s name. I use these toothpastes exclusively. Update: 05/15/2023. Ive been using mainly Boka toothpaste since Oct of last year. I went through a stage of lowering my sugar intake and everything started tasting too sweet. You know how when you eat a perfectly ripe apple and it will taste sweet. Then you eat an apple pie and its even sweeter. If you go back and take another bite of the apple, it wont taste as sweet anymore. Well, I got rid of all the sweets and the Coco Ginger and Lemon Lavender became way too sweet for me. For a short stint, I went back to Sensodyne because I had it at home already. Then I eventually switched back to the Boka and tried the Ela Mint. Before making the switch back to Boka, I tried the Elims toothpaste. It wasnt sweet. Unfortunately, it taste like mild soap and doesnt clean very well. Ela Mint will be a great introduction to anyone just starting hydroxyapatite toothpaste. It tastes pretty much like a regular mint flavor, and I think it cleans the best out of the 3 flavors Ive tried. My teeth just feel smoother. It was also nice to not have an overly sweet toothpaste. The Ela Mint toothpaste tube that shipped came in perfect unlike the other two flavor. It was not covered in scuff marks nor looked like it was trampled over by an elephant. Im not sure why this flavor is treated so different. Also, I havent had a cavity in years since I found out the wonders of floss. Im going to exclude the small one that started when I went through chemo at the start of the pandemic. So roughly the 6 months (Im minusing the Sensodyne time)of using this toothpaste, I havent had any cavities nor gingivitis at my cleanings. I cant say that my teeth look whiter though. I am a coffee drinker. I use to smoke spliffs and drink coffee and I felt my teeth look whiter back then. In fact, people would comment on how white my teeth looked. However, I use to oil pull and just brush with a slurry of baking soda. Ill update again, once I quit coffee to see if this type of toothpaste makes a difference. Older Review Ok, we all know what Boka toothpaste is suppose to do. It’s suppose to help remineralize the teeth with nano-hydroxyapatite, and then there are a whole heap of benefits that come with that. Since no one is going to be able to see the benefits right away, let’s talk about things I can evaluate in the here and now. First, let’s talk about the taste. It actually tastes like sweet coconut oil and ginger. It has a health food and green living vibe to its flavor. It’s not bad, but I was surprised it seemed kind of herbally. The flavor is mild and enjoyable. My mouth tasted nice after spitting it out. I don’t think it messes with the flavor of food right afterwards. Second, the paste turns to liquid in the mouth. There is no foam. I needed more than a pea size to feel like I adequately covered all of my teeth with it. Since I switched my toothbrush and floss, my teeth typically feel really clean after brushing. My teeth continued to feel clean after using this one. It’s cleaning capabilities are still the same as others. For those worried about the abrasive used in this toothpaste, ask for the RDA ranking of this paste. Even Sensodyne Pronamel uses hydrated silica and it’s rda rating is below 40 for all but the whitening ones. Lastly, this felt good in the mouth. There was no burning. My tongue also didn’t feel numb afterwards. Overall, it’s a decent toothpaste at face value. It is very crunchy-granola in its brand values, as well as its flavor. What it purports to do makes it seem great, but it’s too early to see those benefits. I’d just have to take their word for it. Edit: I recently purchased the Lemon Lavender flavor off of Target because they are out of stock on the Boka website. If you thought the tubes off of Amazon looked streaked up and dirty, the Target ones have them beat. Oh my, my tube looks beat up. This is a sweet and soft flavor that dissipates to the flavor of nothing. It reminds me of lemon short bread cookies with a hint of lavender, but very soft. Its definitely not as sweet and intense like Tanners Tasty Paste in Vanilla Bling, but it still tastes good. I can see children liking the Lemon Lavender flavor much more than the Coco Ginger.

The coconut ginger flavor is milder than I expected but that also means that my son can use this too (he doesn’t like a standard strong Monty toothpaste much). This left my teeth feeling cleaner, looking whiter and my breath smelling better. I have been having a little sensitivity due to some unaddressed cavities and this has helped with sensitivity much more than the toothpaste I was using before. I also really enjoy the packaging. I am looking forward to using this up and trying one of the other flavors!

We have been using this toothpaste for over six months and are happy we found it!
