"I have been a nurse for over 14 years and have dedicated my nursing career to working in oncology. I have had experience working in both public and private sectors working in the inpatient and outpatient settings, as a nurse specialist, cancer support nurse, a clinical trials coordinator and as a clinical nurse consultant in breast care. Currently, I work as a McGrath metastatic breast care nurse and have the privilege of holding the co-chair position for the CNSA Victoria and Tasmania State Group Committee. I continually further myself through education and have completed postgraduate studies with a certificate in breast cancer nursing and a diploma in cancer and palliative care. I am currently completing a Masters in Advanced Nursing Practice to become a nurse practitioner and continually strive to improve patient outcomes in oncology."

 

Emma

"I have been a cancer care nurse for over 12 years. During this time, I have worked in various nursing roles from direct patient care, clinical nurse educator, clinical nurse consultant and associate nurse unit manager, all connected to the care of patients with a cancer diagnosis. My passion is to deliver the best care possible to cancer patients and their families. This is why I have enrolled in a Master of Nurse Practitioner. Over the next two years, I will be developing professionally and exploring models of cancer care in Tasmania. I am grateful to Craig Jones and the MooGoo team for their generosity in supporting my study. I am so appreciative to have the opportunity."

Fluoride-free oral care

The Healthy, Modern and Tasty Way to Support Strong Teeth

Moothpaste is formulated with micro hydroxyapatite to support enamel remineralisation — comparable to fluoride — plus theobromine (extracted from cacao) to help support strong enamel. It's more than just a "natural toothpaste" — it's a straight swap for the fluoride, SLS and saccharin still hiding in most toothpaste tubes. MooGoo also independently tests for low abrasivity, so it's gentle on gums. And if the toddler treats brushing time as snack time, you can check the ingredient list and find nothing to worry about.

Our Moothwash contains DIM to help support a clean, balanced mouth by targeting the biofilm buildup where decay-causing bacteria thrive.

Ingredients, explained

What's actually doing the work

No fluoride doesn't mean nothing's working. Here's what's in the tube instead, and why it's there.

Ca
Hydroxyapatite (Moothpaste)The mineral your enamel is already made of — supports remineralisation and helps rebuild surface enamel, comparable to fluoride without the fluoride.
Di
DIM (Moothwash)Moothwash's key active — same fluoride-free approach as the paste, in a rinse instead of a tube.
Xy
Xylitol & steviaNatural sweeteners that don't feed the bacteria linked to decay, unlike sugar.
Co
Sodium methyl cocoyl taurateA coconut-derived cleanser that lifts plaque without the foam or irritation of SLS.
Fl
Zero fluoride, zero dramaFluoride toothpaste legally carries a poison-control warning in case of swallowing. Ours doesn't need one — so if brushing time becomes snack time, that's a laundry problem, not an emergency.
