Toothpaste Has Heavy Metals?! What You Need to Know Before You Brush Again


Toothpaste has heavy metals

Let’s talk about something that might make you drop your toothbrush: most commercial toothpaste has heavy metals in it.


Yep. The stuff we’ve been told to use every single day—twice a day, religiously—is often filled with toxic junk that doesn't belong anywhere near your mouth, let alone inside your body.


The Shocking Truth About Toothpaste


Toothpaste has heavy metals


A recent investigation found that over 90% of popular toothpaste brands are contaminated with heavy metals like lead, arsenic, and even cadmium. Yes, the same stuff that’s linked to brain fog, hormone disruption, kidney damage, and more.


These toxins don't just hang out in your mouth either—they absorb into your gums and bloodstream, slowly building up in your body over time.

And the best part? (Just kidding—it’s the worst part.) Most of these metals aren’t even listed on the label. Why? Because they're considered “trace contaminants” from the manufacturing process, and not “intentional ingredients.” So even though you're not signing up to brush your teeth with poison, you're still getting a dose of it daily.


Fluoride, Artificial Sweeteners, and… Paint?


And it’s not just the heavy metals. Many commercial toothpastes also contain:

  • Fluoride – a neurotoxin in high doses, banned in several countries.

  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) – a foaming agent that can irritate the skin and gums.

  • Artificial colors – because apparently our teeth need to be entertained?

  • Titanium Dioxide – used to make toothpaste whiter, and also used in—you guessed it—paint.


Are we brushing our teeth… or painting a wall?


How Heavy Metals Harm the Body

When your body gets exposed to heavy metals daily (like through toothpaste, tap water, or processed foods), it can’t easily get rid of them. They store in your tissues, brain, liver, and bones. Over time, this toxic load can lead to:

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Brain fog

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Gut issues

  • Autoimmune flare-ups


As a health coach, I can tell you firsthand: detoxing these heavy metals can completely change the way you feel—mentally and physically. But the first step? Stop putting them in your mouth every morning.


So What Do You Do Instead?


Simple. Ditch the store-bought junk, and make your own natural toothpaste at home. It’s fast, effective, and way better for your long-term health.
