Several that you can find at your local pharmacy. Some include charcoal. Some with no fluoride. Some with essential oils.
Manuka Honey from New Zealand helps heal wounds, both inside and outside of the mouth, and it can act as a barrier, contributing to the prevention of infection and keeping wounds moist while healing. As early as 1201, there are records of honey being traded in Riga, Latvia, and used for healing. Today, the use of honey as a salve helps heal canker sores or minor gum and tongue sores.
The American Dental Association just came out with a study that states toothpaste WITHOUT fluoride has the same efficacy (effect) as not brushing your teeth. Please make sure your "Natural Toothpaste" has fluoride.
They are so many different brands in Whole Foods or Amazon.
I would recommend Tom's of Maine toothpaste. They make great products and I have used their toothpaste on my children.
