Melaleuca - Their toothpaste ruined my teeth
I ordered their toothpaste, after 6 months of use I started noticing stains on my teeth. Looked it up and saw this was linked to fluoride, too much of it will cause stains on teeth.
So I compared different toothpastes and realized Melaleuca's toothpaste was way more concentrated in fluoride than many other toothpastes!!! And no I didn't put much on my toothbrush but the little I used was enough to stain my teeth!!! Same thing happened to my boyfriend, he used the same toothpaste and stains started to appear on his front teeth after a few months of use, about the same time than me. We are using Pepsodent right now, with a lower level in fluoride and hopefully our teeth will get better.
It's been a month we stopped using Melaleuca's toothpaste and the stains are still there, it's awful. When I think about the marketing executive who was so insistent about this 'wonderful' product, I am so mad.. But then again same old story, they'll say anything to sell their poison. Because fluoride can actually be dangerous...
I trusted him because I really thought he was being honest.
My fault, I shouldn't have. Be careful with the products and do your own research, don't do the same mistake I did.
Reason of review: Bad quality.

There is a non fluoride toothpaste available with melaleuca, that I absolutely love.
I have been using melaleuca toothpolish, without fluoride for over a year, I have had improved checkups, no stains, no sensitivity. Prior to using it I had bleeding gums, sensitive teeth, and a pocket that was a # 5 ( now a 3)! I canโt say enough good about the toothpaste or any of their products for that matter!
Melaleuca doesnโt even use fluoride in their toothpaste.
I've been using their tooth polish since 2008. No stains, no nothing. I'd look into your water quality.
As I understand it, fluoride stains occur during enamel formation during childhood. It seems unlikely that this is the cause of stains on adult teeth.
on tooth paste all company's that produce toothpaste will tell you to only use the size of a pea ill bet that you are also drinking water that has floride in it.
Melaleuca does make a fluoride-free toothpaste and it doesn't cost any more than the regular. That's what I use and it really is good. The melaleuca oil in it has helped heal my gum problems.

One might try rescheduling their supplements to reduce this potential effect. Here's the scoop on flouride issues, potential overdosing, staining, or interactions with vitamins or medications.
It is considered a non-risk or low risk issue to medical community (is also added to municiple water systems).
But yes, sometimes *** happens and it's good to know why and make changes in your diet or health regime (such as pill timing or stop using certain things) to prevent interactions.
I've only been using it for a week and noticed it is helpful in removing coffee stains. Not sure what will happen after long term use but have never seen Flouride (thru toothpaste vs in drinking water) causing stains.
My sister, however, has a permanent front tooth stain (white spot) from using oral antibiotics when she was young. You might want to consider other reasons for this odd staining, but I'm glad to have your tip on this possibility.
