      Thanks for this Stephanie. I found a toothpaste WOO BAM BOO that is natural plus the packing is green. I find the actual paste good but often find I need to go to my "regular" paste for a deep clean at least every other day.

       I am not impressed with it. It sort of gets stuck in your teeth and doesn't brush well. There are some powdered toothpaste products that I'm going to try next.
