Here is a nice introduction from Dr. Chen on SunSmile Herbal Toothpaste.

SunSmile® Herbal Toothpaste

Most toothpastes contain fluoride, a potentially toxic chemical that thins your enamel. Fluoride is so strong it is used to etch glass! When you’re young, you can crush Ice with your teeth But when you are middle-aged like me, even drinking cold water hurts because the fluoride in your toothpaste has eaten away your tooth’s enamel. Regular toothpastes also use sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or a similar ingredient SLS is a grease-cutting detergent that is too strong for the mucus membrane. Its very irritating and can cause your gums to recede Since toothpastes have these strong chemicals, toothpaste makers need to add a lot of other stuff to mask them—saccharin, artificial colors, and artificial flavors It’s no wonder that eating a spoonful of toothpaste will make a child sick.

SunSmile® Herbal Toothpaste is designed to gently, effectively clean your teeth and gums. Instead of fluoride, we use a combination of enzymes and herbal extracts such as neem tree oil and peppermint oil. Instead of SLS, we use baking soda, a nonabrasive cleaner. Our toothpaste contains no sugar derivatives, artificial colors, or artificial flavors. Because our formula is so concentrated, it is naturally green with a clean mint flavor. I achieved this formula after exhaustive research of various herbal and plant combinations.

Our herbal toothpaste is very, very expensive for me to make, but there is nothing else on the market that works as well.
