I can’t say I noticed any difference, but yes I do use fluoride free toothpaste and have done so for about 10 years

I use fluoride free toothpaste. I have major problems with mouth ulcers, and toothpastes containing fluoride seem to make them worse.

Having said that, there are other differences between the toothpaste I use now and the Colgate I used to use, so it might not be the lack of fluoride that has made the difference.

This is what I buy - the purple fluoride-free fennel-flavoured one - but there are lots of other options and flavours from the same company, some of them fluoride-free, some of them containing fluoride :

I get my toothpaste from Holland & Barrett - I haven't found any other sources other than online, but having found this on their website I'm not surprised it is hard to find :

Slow Dragon....same one in Waitrose but cheaper than Amazon. Mostly I buy the Dr. organic one from Holland and Barrett. Great discounts if you buy three at once. Their Coconut oil version is my favourite.
