High-Quality Natural Toothpastes That Reduce Sensitivity and Whiten Teeth (2024)

"As there's an increasing number of patients who are turning more plant-based, Dr. Bronner's peppermint toothpaste is a good vegan option," says Colby Broadbent, DDS, chief of clinical affairs at Spring Dental.

While this natural pick will work wonders to keep your pearly whites, well, white—Dr. Broadbent warns the stuff is pretty runny, so don't squeeze it out of the tube like you would any old toothpaste.

This toothpaste has xylitol in it which Dr. Broadbent says increases salivary flow. That might sound like strange thing to hype up, but it's actually a biggie in fighting plaque. "Creating a little bit more saliva protects against cavities," he explains.

This toothpaste uses a blend of fluoride, tea tree oil, and coconut oil to clean and whiten teeth without any artificial sweeteners or detergents.

Your sensitive teeth will forever thank this natural toothpaste, which uses aloe vera juice, xylitol and Dead Sea minerals to soothe and prevent that terrible, too-cold feeling.

Tom’s of Maine has been around forever and has become one of the most well-known natural toothpaste brands on the market, says Dr. Stanley. This toothpaste protects against cavities because it still contains fluoride. It also contains baking soda, which can help whiten teeth naturally.

Ever tried toothpaste from a jar? This formula is made with mineral clay, pure plant essences and sea salt, and all you need to do is dip your brush into the tub and brush away (much easier than dealing with pushing product up in a tube, if you ask me). Maybe best not to share this with your SO though, to cut back on cross-contamination.

An interesting concept, this natural toothpaste uses sea salt to stimulate salivation, meaning it increases the cleaning power of the product.

Toothpastes don't always need to be extra-minty. This natural pick features all-natural strawberry and watermelon flavoring that'll remind you exactly of the summer-ripe fruit you love so much.

I know, I know, it’s tough to get kids to brush their teeth at all, let alone with a natural toothpaste. This pick has cute and fun packaging that will hopefully pique their interest every morning and night.

This charcoal-based toothpaste doesn’t have any fluoride, synthetic sweeteners, preservatives, or foaming agents—it's as clean as you can get.

This natural fluoride toothpaste not only comes in environmentally friendly packaging, but every purchase also goes toward funding oral health projects for children in need.

If you’re on a budget but you still want a top-quality natural toothpaste, this one contains grapefruit seed extract, tea tree and cinnamon. It’s also free of parabens and phthalates and can help reduce the presence and longevity of canker sores, says Dr. Stanley.

Great for traveling or an on-the-go freshening, these dentist-formulated, vegan-friendly tablets contain nothing but natural ingredients like coconut oil, guar gum, and xylitol. Still, they fight plaque and strengthen enamel just like traditional pastes.
