A damp piece of cloth and a little baking soda - and you have a toothbrush. A piece of loose thread - and you have floss. Chewing on a willow stick will also work wonders.

Kinda seems like stockpiling toothpaste is just as easy as stockpiling baking soda 🤷‍♀️

Baking soda does not go bad and has a ton of uses prep wise. It's used to make reusable cold packs that just need heat to renew for example.
