This is inadvisable. Trust me, go a few years without flouride in your toothpaste, and you'll begin to notice. |

Put together one part peroxide, one part water and mix it with baking soda to make a paste. The baking soda will clean your teeth and the peroxide will kill the germs and whiten your teeth |

Better than baking soda is TheraBreath. I was doing some research on dental crowns and somehow came across the site. I get their toothgel and love it!!!! It's not harsh like regular toothpaste and makes the mouth feel so fresh. I got the rinse too and tongue scraper, so worth it. You can read about the science of dental health there. |

baking soda or pumice powder. Forget the vinegar one, vinegar is fermented therefore contains sugar. |

I agree with 3ebfan, you should definitely try Tom's of Maine toothpaste. It is the best "alternative" toothpaste that I have tried. |

Although my answer is pretty much the same as everyone else's here - BAKING SODA, I have a little story behind my answer I'd like to share.
I used to work as a Resident Assistant at a local CBRF (Community Based Residential Facility). One of my residents who was 80-years-old at the time, had each and every one of her original teeth (and boy, was she proud of this fact!). I asked her what her secret was and she replied, "Growing up in a big family (12 children all together), my mom couldn't afford toothpaste for all us kids, so we always brushed our teeth with Baking Soda and water. And look - I still have all my original teeth!" LOL
If that's not proof that Baking Soda is good for cleaning teeth naturally, I don't know what is! ;-)
P.S. I've tested the "Baking Soda brushing" and although it tastes extremely salty, it does work and leave my mouth feeling clean. Just takes a while to get used to it! |

Have you tried Tom's of Maine toothpaste? They sell it at most drugstores. I use it and it is a great, all-natural toothpaste and it is just as effective, if not more than other popular brands. It doesn't have all the unnecessary chemicals added to it like Colgate and Crest. You should try it, you might like it. I've been using it for years and I can't imagine going back. |

Hi Tanya-I tried to e-mail you this question, but it wouldn't go through-if you read this, please reply:
I almost bought Vicco the other day, but decided not to because it didn't have any neem in it. I was very surprised because neem is used in India for gums. Anyway, have you used Vicco and what has your experience been? Have you ever brushed with neem toothpaste?
Thanks, B
And Tikibumba-an e-mail to you said "opps" too.
Where can I find neem and babool twigs? I was looking for neem products last week and could only find toothpaste and was surprised that the toothpaste from India Vicco, did not even have neem as one of its ingredients. So, where do you get the twigs?
Thanks, B |

i use a mixture of baking soda and salt. the salt is good for the gums and the baking soda has a bleaching effect on the teeth. continuall use of the two will help streanghtn your teeth. It may taste a little funny to start with but once you get use to it, its not so bad |

Baking soda. Also, there's an african wood which is gotten from the bark of a tree. It's very good also. |

There are herbal toothpastes available on the market. The main ingredient is aniseed and licorice root (licorice tightens the gums and keeps them stable). A good brand of herbal paste is called "Vicco". Its available through health stores here in Australia. It may not be available where u are (seeing it was made in India) but go to your own health food store and ask to find out more alternatives. |

baking soda, followed by a peroxide rinse. Peroxide has many uses, whitens teeth, prevents plaque build up fast, protects gums as well. :-) |

You should go with the natural toothpaste recommendations you got here on this page. Of interest:
"The earliest known reference to a toothpaste is in a manuscript from Egypt in the 4th century A.D., which prescribes a mixture of powdered salt, pepper, mint leaves, and iris flowers..."
If you have the ingredients, who knows, you could try it. :) |
