Aloe Vera Toothpaste that doesn't cost a fortune

Hello,

I used to buy Aloe Vera toothpaste from H&B, but now times are hard and I can't afford to waste £5 on a toothpaste. Can anybody suggest me where I can buy a toothpaste with a decent amount of aloe vera for a bit less, either on the high street or online.

Also recommendations for an Aloe Vera gel (for oral use) are welcome. Thanks.

    I got a Beverley Hills formula toothpaste with Aloe Vera in from the 99 pence store.
    Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.

    Why on earth do you want aloe vera in a toothpaste for?
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.

    I have to admit (and I have no knowledge of anything dental) that was my first thought!

    Agree, it's just overpriced toothpaste
  • I use Kingfisher Aloe vera and fennel toothpaste. They used to stock them fairly cheaply on Amazon for a pack of 3, but they have since gone up in price. Try eBay, or your local health food/wholefood/hippie store. Normally costs me about £3 for mine.

    The aloe Vera and fennel toothpaste is fluoride free so is completely useless in combating decay. Many of the kingfisher products are fluoride free so always check.
