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. :)

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!

If that's gold plated at the instant it must be properly worth so lots greater desirable than that. I have not have been given any theory, however the way he lived, he in all probability might prefer something massive in loss of existence. It fits the desires of somebody who had an leisure park in his outdoor. i do no longer understand. I come from a relatives who isn't massive on funerals and the assumption of an extravaganza for even a pal looks way out. i comprehend many contained in the familiar public prefer to pay comprehend. however the coffin does no longer could be like that, yet some all and sundry is like that. He gave alot to charity so perchance the relatives is making some appropriate contribution to a pair charities, too. Grave robbers are not as elementary on the instant, yet i do no longer understand the rationalization to place extensive quantities of money contained in the floor like that for all and sundry.

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.

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.

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.

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

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
