I just use Tom's, I've heard that charcoal is really hard on your teeth, so I decided not to try it. I you want to use something more natural, however, I would recommend baking soda. I also have a friend who is Inuit and lived up in Canada on a Native American reserve before moving to the US. The reserve was in the middle of the woods, so they basically lived a pioneer lifestyle. He said that they used to brush with a special type of salt from a river nearby, and their teeth were just as healthy as the average Americans teeth. So, clearly there are plenty of natural teeth cleaning solutions.
"I've heard that charcoal is really hard on your teeth, so I decided not to try it" That seems to be some counter advertising done by the regular toothpaste makers, the abrasiveness of charcoal is actually less than the abrasiveness of ordinary toothpaste.

You know, you are probably right. I don't know why I still trust the "experts".
Wading through the soup of bs is difficult..
