You can easily make your own, just baking soda and peroxide. If you want to give it flavor, add a drop of mouthwash.

Boiron makes a fluoride free toothpaste called Homeodent. This is found at health food type stores. Also if you go to iherb.com and search for fluoride free toothpaste or no fluoride toothpaste a lot of different ones are found.

No need to spend a fortune at health food stores; most supermarkets carry fluoride-free toothpaste. Aquafresh makes some, Jason Cosmetics and Burt's Bees make it too, and those are usually found in the "natural skin care" section of the supermarket.

You can get Tom's of Maine at CVS, it's pretty mainstream and they have six different varieties, including a children's that has real strawberry juice in it for flavoring.

I used to buy Tom's and liked it OK, but it's kind of expensive. These days, I use a bar of Kirk's Coco Castile soap. The taste might take getting used to, but it's got no additives and it gets your teeth REALLY clean. And a bar of that stuff will last forever. (Mine is in a plastic soap case and is used exclusively for brushing). I also floss pik with the pik dipped in hydrogen peroxide, then mouthwash is a little sea salt and baking soda in water.

Baking soda makes my teeth extremely sensitive and it makes my gums start to recede. It does whiten my teeth nicely though so I use it occasionally.

I ordered a package of 6 tubes of Nature's Gate natural toothpaste, peppermint. It's really good. Amazon's got a variety of brands to choose from.
Amazon.com: non fluoride toothpaste

Vicco's suggested retail price is $4.50 for 3 ounces. That's pretty expensive. Also, I don't know who works in their factories or what country the factories are in, but Vicco is a product of Lotus Brands, which is run out of Wisconsin.

Don't waste you money on toothpaste. It all contains glycerin which sticks to your teeth preventing your saliva from naturally remineralizing your teeth.

My son has been using mouthwash to brush with...and he has not needed a dentist in 30 years.

Also get a Zapper. It will kill dental caries and the bacteria that causes bad breath.
Do the research.
