Common questions

Is Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint healthy?

Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Tom's Whole Care & Antiplaque (CaCO3 + zinc citrate). It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint?

Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint lists 10 ingredients, starting with Calcium Carbonate, Glycerin, Water, Xylitol and Hydrated Silica. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint?

Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint compare to other toothpaste?

At 15/100 Tom's of Maine Antiplaque and Whitening Toothpaste Peppermint scores worse than most toothpaste we have scored. A higher-scoring option in toothpaste is Pepsodent Herbal Fresh Mint Sage Chamomile Myrrh Toothpaste at 100/100.

This product is scored with the worst result for each contaminant across those tests. Those results are in the family's Contaminants section above; its own results may differ.
