The Best Natural Vegan Toothpaste Brands

Waken Sensitive Care Toothpaste is one of the best on the market (it’s the only xylitol-free one in the range, the others are okay for pet-free households).

Never use brands of toothpaste, gum or mouthwash sweetened with xylitol near pets (if they lick leftovers from around your mouth or sink, it could be fatal – there should be pack warnings). 

Always supervise children using fluoride toothpastes (only for over 7 years) and encourage them to spit out the rest. You can recycle the tubes at kerbside or Boots stores.
