Coconut Oil Toothpaste! What's the deal? As a cosmetic dentist of over 35 years, Dr. Ginger had been repeatedly asked by her clients about a coconut oil oral care solution. After finding none she liked, Dr. Ginger created her own. Not only does the organic Coconut Oil mimic ancient Ayurvedic practices of "oil pulling," but when paired with Xylitol, it tackles oral health in a completely new way. Dr. Ginger's unique Coconut Oil + Xylitol combo coat the teeth in a luxurious-feeling, smooth coating that plaque and bacteria cannot stick to, creating a clean and healthy oral environment without the need for extra chemicals found in other toothpastes. Not only is it a healthier approach to oral care, but it also tastes really, really good too.

Taste is off putting
This toothpaste performs well. I drink tea and it helped to remove the stains. The ingredients seem pretty straightforward except for the "natural flavor." I think that's what makes it taste bad. Please remove the natural flavor! Also, the formula dissolves quickly. I use more than I typically would with other toothpastes.

Possibly not authentic
This brand carries two types of toothpaste. I was not shipped the type I selected. Also, possible not authentic Dr Ginger’s.

Amazing tooth paste
I am blown away with this toothpaste. It’s the most enjoyable brushing experience I’ve had since I was a kid with that three stripe tooth paste with the pump haha. Effective and tastes amazing!

Chemical taste, over priced
This toothpaste tastes disgusting- like straight up chemicals! I was looking for a clean toothpaste- this contains titanium dioxide, which I somehow overlooked. Totally overpriced. I will never buy again. Gave 2 stars bc my mouth feels clean, however the taste is awful.

Glad I tried it!
Really love this! Doesn’t get all bubbly like regular toothpaste, but it’s not dry and gross either. Teeth feel very clean. My gums are looking better, and sensitivity is gone!

Save your money
Felt like simply brushing with coconut oil would do as much good. Teeth did not feel particularly clean after brushing with this, even though when using my SonicCare. My dentist recommended toothpaste with ADA certification because they have high standards for delivering on the marketing promises a company makes, and for quality and consistency, so I switched to another cruelty free/vegan brand that is ADA certified and like it much better.

My dentist was impressed
This toothpaste is seriously the best natural toothpaste ever — and I’ve tried a lot! Another reviewer mentioned that she never got calculus build up again after switching to this. Because of her review, I bought some because I struggle with that — and she was right!!!! My dentist, who insists on seeing me every 3 months due to advanced gingivitis, told me she actually didn’t need to see me again for 6 months the next time I saw her. She said “your teeth are really clean.” THATS SO COOL! You know your teeth are really clean when your DENTIST doesn’t even have enough to do. I’m very very happy with this toothpaste and I’m very grateful for the original review that encouraged me to try it.

Great Toothpaste!
I am a hygienist and love recommending this toothpaste for kids and people with sensitivity. It is the best tasting and most effective toothpaste of the natural toothpastes that are out there!

It's okay just not for me.
I love Dr. Ginger products but this tooth paste was a little weird. It doesn't foam up like the Dr. Ginger's Coconut Tooth paste with White Charcoal one does. That one is amazing. This one also feels warm when you're brushing your teeth. None the less, it still gets the job done.
