If you're using a toothpaste that doesn't contain any fluoride, such as most Aloe Vera Gels, then your teeth are not protected.
It is a common procedure at the dentist for children to have regular fluoride varnish applications applied to their teeth by the dentist to help strengthen their new adult teeth and prevent them from decaying as easily. All the dentist does is brush a gel onto the teeth using a small brush, it's very quick and easy (plus they usually taste really nice too!)
By brushing teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and using a fluoride mouth wash after meals you're teeth are getting continuous protection to prevent the risk of tooth decay.
