My toothpaste has country of origin on the box (USA). I've never found a health care product that wasn't labeled for country of origin (and we never buy Chinese).

I buy special toothpaste. For years I had canker sores- those white patches you get in your mouth following any trauma- like a slip with the toothbrush that scrapes your gum? Then a neighbor told me she had completely gotten rid of canker sores by using Nature's Gate toothpaste- which does not have a chemical that apparently irritates canker sores, or gum tissue.

I love the licorice flavor, and I've never had another canker sore (and let me tell you, at one time mine got so bad I went to the dentist- I thought I had a toothache, and it was just that the back of my mouth was inflamed)

vitacost.com

I've got my whole family on this and the mint flavor now.
This is weird- I tried to find out what the chemical is that irriates gum tissue, and this link:
charlesdentalgroup.com
says it is SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate). I can't say why the toothpaste works, if that is the chemical that is involved, but it works for me :-)
