I just looked on the toothpaste I am currently using and discovered it has sorbitol in it. Should I discontinue using it?
Thanks!

K:
The only toothpaste I recommend is Crest Cavity Protection toothpaste ( for a number of important reasons to do with its texture and main active ingredients).
This type of Crest paste does have a tiny amount of sorbitol in the recipe ( I wish it did not - but they are not going to change this paste any time soon!)
If you are using my Complete Mouth Care process - the sorbitol in this paste is going to be washed away by the following mouth rinses - so its presence does not affect the outcome!
The main concern with sorbitol is in sugarless mints and gum ( like Trident and Orbit) that some people eat all day - thinking they are harmless to teeth.
On the second or third mint, plaque bacteria learn how to use the sorbitol as an energy source, to grow and multiply - and thicken up as dangerous plaque - ugh!!
