Tom's of Maine Whole Care

The anticavity Whole Care formula lists sodium monofluorophosphate at 0.76%, equivalent to 0.13% fluoride ion. Its label says it helps protect against cavities, so check the tube if you are looking at a fluoride-free Tom's variant.

They are abrasive cleaning ingredients that help scrub away plaque and surface stains during brushing. They do not make the paste a peroxide bleaching treatment, and the ingredient list also includes calcium carbonate.

That depends on the flavor and version: the current DailyMed Whole Care Spearmint label lists lauryl glucoside and disodium cocoyl glutamate, not sodium lauryl sulfate. Older Whole Care labels and some flavor listings include sodium lauryl sulfate, so the tube's ingredient panel is the safe check.

The label gives directions for adults and children age 2 and older, with a pea-sized amount and supervision for ages 2 to 6. Children under 2 should receive advice from a dentist or physician, and the product should be kept out of reach of children under 6.
