A member asked:
Docs can you explain, is there a natural toothpaste without fluoride for babys?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Paste for babies?: Babies do not need tooth paste with fluoride. They don't even need to brush their teeth. Talk to your dentist or pediatrician about some tablets for children, but not for babies, with Fluoride to prevent cavities in the future.

Dentists, is natural toothpaste an effective alternative to fluoride based toothpastes? Or will natural toothpastes like "Jason" be ineffective at fighting off cavities? I use natural because of a canker sore sensitivity to the SLS in normal pastes.
