No, human toothpaste should never be used on cats. Fluoride is present in most toothpastes and is toxic if ingested, especially to such a small animal like a cat. Cats cannot spit out toothpaste while their teeth are being brushed. Pet toothpaste is free of Fluoride and is completely safe for an animal to ingest.

Try to get a natural toothpaste. I suggest tom's toothpaste!:) Well some of Tom's of Maine toothpastes are SLS free, but not all of them are. Be sure to check the ingredient list before you buy anything. Squigle Enamel Saver toothpaste is another good choice, most probably the best when you're struggling with canker sores. Find the link in the related links section if you need more options.
Not all towns fluoridate the water; Sacramento, CA, for example, does not. Most bottled water is fluoride-free. However, fluoridated water causes very few health problems.
While you can never restore your tooth enamel back to its original form, you can restore some of it by the use of fluoridated mouthwash, like ACT. Fluoride catalyzes the diffusion of calcium and phosphate into the tooth surface, which in turn remineralizes the crystalline structures in a dental cavity and damaged tooth surfaces.
Practically yes, if you discount the beneficial effects of fluoride.AnswerYes, it is basically the same. There are lots of arguments against fluoride, too. Everything I have read so far, by googling, in answering this question for my girlfriend, is that brushing is far more important to do than what you brush with. As well as flossing. There is lots of warnings about getting too much fluoride, and considering that it is toxic like chlorine is, in different forms, no swallowing, and only use pea size for kids, contrary to the big dollop the ads would have us use...I don't like using fluoridated stuff, especially with it in the water. There is a big story as to how it got into our water, which I need to research further (wartime company with tons of toxic fluoride material from some manufacturing, found supposedly that it prevents decay by hardening teeth, which some dispute now, and so sold it to the legislators (bought them off) and now we have it in water).Anyway, lots of dentist sites say that brushing is the main thing. The gunk in most toothpaste (foaming stuff), etc that now has some bad press itself as it may cause cavities, too, etc, shows that really, flossing and brushing a good long time are the key to keeping cavity free. One dentist says that no toothpaste brushing for 20 minutes is what will keep plaque away. with toothpaste is ok, but to avoid cavities and dental bills, do the brushing and flossing. Doesn't matter then what toothpaste you use, really.
Many people use toothpaste as a homemade glass scratch filler. You should use inexpensive toothpaste that is white, and that does not have anything added. For example, extra whitening, or tarter control. Just use plain toothpaste. Use a very soft and lint free cloth to apply the toothpaste to the scratch.
Sodium lauryl sulfate is the detergent ingredient in toothpaste, it's what makes it foams when we brush our teeth. You can easily make your own homemade tooth cleaner with baking soda to avoid this chemical or check in your organic grocer's for lauryl sulfate free toothpaste.
Toothbrush, toothpaste, fruit, floss, sugar free candy
There has been no evidence that sugar free gum actually whitens your teeth. Regular toothpaste does that.
