Penny, you can find 'natural' tooth pastes, sometimes at the
grocery/discount stores. If not there then at a health food store.

A cheap and easy alternative to tooth paste is baking soda. You just put a
bit in the palm of your hand or a small container. Add a dash of water until
it's a paste, wipe on the tooth brush and go.

It's salty tasting but not offensive.
Molly would rather do that then use a 'mint' paste as those burn her mouth.

We use baking soda on occasion as a good cleaner for smooth teeth. Jim uses
pumice every now and again for the same reason.

Yes, it's an abrasive so you don't have to rub very hard.

Same thing with corn starch. I used to put it into a powdered sugar
sprinkler and used that to 'powder' the kids.
No talc and a WHOLE lot cheaper than the manufactured stuff. Although, I do
adore that baby powder smell.  ;0)
