In light of recent concerns raised by Lead Safe Mama about potential heavy metal contamination in Revitin Prebiotic Toothpaste (fluoride-free, citrus flavor), I have reached out to Purity Laboratories Inc for clarification.
Below is the full text of my email sent on 9/30/25. This post will be updated with any responses or follow-up correspondence. For the complete investigation and ongoing updates, see the main article: [Link to Main Blog Post].

| Dear Laboratory Director, My name is Dr. Trino Nuño, and I am a dentist practicing in Nebraska with a focus on biological and integrative dentistry. I recently became aware of a report by Lead Safe Mama LLC alleging that one sample of Revitin Prebiotic Toothpaste (fluoride-free, citrus flavor) tested positive for heavy metal contaminants, including lead. As part of my commitment to patient safety and accurate public health communication, I am seeking to better understand the testing performed by your laboratory. If possible, I would appreciate clarification on the following points: 1. What specific analytical method(s) were used (e.g., ICP-MS, XRF)? 2. What was the limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for the analysis? 3. How many toothpaste samples were tested, and were they from a single batch or multiple lots? 4. What quality control measures (calibration standards, blanks, duplicates) were implemented to ensure accuracy and reproducibility? 5. Has your lab conducted or do you plan to conduct any replicate or confirmatory testing on additional samples? My intent is not to challenge your work, but to gather accurate, technical details that will help me advise my patients and present this information responsibly. Understanding your methodology and scope will also allow me to compare your results with any data Revitin may provide regarding their own internal or third-party testing. Thank you for your time and for the important role you play in advancing transparency in product safety. I would be grateful for any details you are able to share.

| Dear Purity Laboratories Team, I am reaching out with a final follow-up regarding my prior inquiries, for which I have yet to receive a response. I want to express my disappointment, as I had expected timely professional correspondence given the nature of the questions and your role as an independent testing laboratory. The information I requested is critical—not only for my own understanding, but for the clinicians, colleagues, and patients who rely on laboratory data to make informed, health-conscious decisions. Independent labs play a vital role in upholding scientific integrity, transparency, and public trust. My intent has been to better understand your testing protocols, analytical methods, and interpretation standards so that any references to your data can be communicated responsibly and accurately in clinical and educational settings. Please consider this a formal request for response within 7 calendar days. If no reply is received within that time frame, I will need to consider the lack of communication as a reflection of your organization’s commitment to transparency and evidence-based accountability. I remain open to dialogue and hope to receive your clarification soon. Please see the forwarded message string for reference to the initial email sent. Respectfully, Trino Nuño D.D.S Founder & CEO of MiBöca Dentistry www.mibocadentistry.com www.drtrinonuno.com Connect with Dr. Trino: Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | |
