The Best Natural Toothpaste Alternatives for Dental Health

The toothpaste business has been dominated by a handful of companies like Crest and Aquafresh for a long time, but many healthy natural alternatives have begun to cut into their market share in recent years.

With so many unique types featuring a wide array of high quality ingredients including various essential oils in a variety of interesting flavors, there's no better time than now to try a third-party, all-natural alternative.

Here is a list of some of the best brands and flavors on the market today:

Tooth Soap- From 2003 on, the Tooth Soap company has grown into one of the biggest online healthy natural toothpaste retailers and has flourished because of its quality ingredients and wide variety of flavors.

Comprised of essential oils, organic extra virgin olive oil, organic coconut oil and more, there's a lot of goodness packed into these little bottles.

Flavors like citrus, black cherry, and grape along with classics like cinnamon and mint ensure that tooth soap never gets boring.

Eco-Dent- This popular company sells a full line of natural dental care products, but perhaps none are more popular than their basic teeth cleaner, which is based with baking soda and adds a wide variety of other healthy natural ingredients.

For people who don't like the thickness of toothpaste just before bed, which can sometimes aggravate the throat a bit, Eco-Dent is a great healthy natural alternative.

Tropical Traditions- This company comes highly recommended for its grass and coconut-fed meat as well as its top-quality cold-pressed coconut oils, but they also make a mean (read: good) natural toothpaste alternative.

Tropical Traditions also packs essential oils like peppermint and clove into a tiny little bottle with baking soda, coconut oil and more. But the cleaning strength of this product is so impressive that you won't need a lot on your brush each morning to clean your teeth, and each bottle will last quite a while.

The website also runs a number of different specials and deals so check it out.

Desert Essence- Offering classic natural flavors such as fennel, mint and more along with an excellent tea tree oil-based mouthwash product, Desert Essence is a staple in many health food stores in the dental section.

The company also adds neem bark extract to the product for a deep clean that is about as potent as you'll find, making this brand one of the unique on the list of the best natural toothpaste alternative brands.
