Great Oral Health: the fluoride-free, dentist-made swaps we use
Once you start reading toothpaste labels, it’s hard to stop. I wanted a cleaner option for our family, without a long list of ingredients I couldn’t pronounce.
Great Oral Health is the brand I came back to. Its oral care is dentist-formulated by Dr Paul O’Malley, and the three products I recommend are fluoride-free, with short, thoughtful formulas.[1][2]
Here’s my guide to the toothpaste, oral probiotics and kids’ toothpaste I recommend, and how we use them.

Why I trust Great Oral Health
Great Oral Health was created by Dr Paul O’Malley, a dentist with a holistic practice in Encino, California. He wanted oral-care products that worked with a more natural approach, rather than a long list of harsh extras.[1]
That matters to me, especially with little ones in the house. I like knowing the formulas were developed by someone who spends their days looking after teeth.
💖 Dentist formulated. Created by Dr Paul O’Malley.[1]
💖 Fluoride-free. The toothpastes and probiotics I recommend are fluoride-free.[2]
💖 Hydroxyapatite. The toothpastes use the mineral that makes up most of tooth enamel.[2]
💖 Family-friendly. There’s a grown-up wintermint paste and an orange kids’ paste.[2]

My Great Oral Health favourites
Pro Mineralizer Toothpaste: my everyday clean
Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring form of calcium that makes up most of your tooth enamel, and it’s the star of this dentist-formulated toothpaste. Great Oral Health uses an 11% blend of nano and non-nano hydroxyapatite, and the brand says this helps support enamel, ease sensitivity and gently brighten teeth.[2]
It comes in a fresh wintermint flavour, contains xylitol, and is free from fluoride and the glycerin used as a filler in many toothpastes. The brand also gives it a low abrasivity score and a neutral pH.[2]

Advanced Oral Probiotics: a minty daily lozenge
These are dentist-formulated chewable mints with Dr O’Malley’s 7-strain blend, combining BLIS K12 and BLIS M18 with five complementary strains, plus zinc. They have a refreshing, sugar-free natural mint flavour, with no artificial flavours, colours or sweeteners, and they’re shelf stable, so they don’t need the fridge.[2]
Each pack contains 60 chewable tablets, with a strength of 2 billion CFU, and they’re vegetarian, fluoride-free and gluten-free.[2] As with any supplement, check with your GP or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Kids Toothpaste: an orange paste they actually like
Choosing a toothpaste for young children can feel surprisingly complicated. Great Oral Health keeps it simple with a fluoride-free, dentist-made formula built around hydroxyapatite and xylitol, in an orange flavour children enjoy.[2]
The brand says it is safe to swallow, which is reassuring for toddlers still learning to spit, and that it is vegan and gluten-free. Use a small smear for toddlers and a pea-sized amount for older children, with supervised brushing twice a day.[2]

How we use them at home
💖 Brush twice a day. A pea-sized amount for older children, and a small smear for toddlers.[2]
💖 Supervise little ones. Stay with them until they’re confident spitters.
💖 Keep it simple. I don’t mix lots of different pastes at once.
Why I wanted a cleaner toothpaste
I’m not here to tell anyone to throw out what their dentist has recommended. For our family, I wanted an option with a shorter ingredients list and a flavour everyone would actually use.
That’s the test that matters in a busy house: is it simple enough to become the everyday habit? For us, these three are.
Your questions, answered
Do I buy from Glowing Healthy?
No. Each Shop button takes you to Great Oral Health on Amazon UK, where you buy directly.
Is there a discount?
There isn’t a Great Oral Health offer I can confirm through my Amazon links right now, so I haven’t listed one.
Are these toothpastes fluoride-free?
Yes. The adult and kids toothpastes I recommend are fluoride-free, and use hydroxyapatite instead.[2]
Is the kids’ toothpaste safe if they swallow some?
Great Oral Health says it is safe to swallow, which is why I like it for toddlers still learning to spit.[2] Supervised brushing is still important.
