Dear Mindy, After listening to the oral health summit, Dr. Cole recommended that we use a prebiotic toothpaste that does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate. So I looked up the brands available, and Tom's Toothpaste is one, but it contains the SLS. It also has carrageenan and glycerin in it, which I think you would not recommend either. Would you happen to have a recipe for prebiotic toothpaste??
Just checking, Thank you! Lois

I am sorry Lois, I don't have a prebiotic toothpaste recipe.
