I'm in my 50s and I grew up brushing my teeth with plain water. No toothpaste or baking soda.
I have never had a cavity in my life.
A few years back my teeth were a bit too discolored for my liking so I bought a tube of the Crest Whitening toothpaste and I used that whole tube. It worked better than I expected but I haven't bought another one since.
My kids brush without toothpaste. Any time they have sugar - or anything really - I have them swish and swallow.
Ironically I always have drank tap water. They say it dumbs you down but compared to the idiots around me I hate to think how smart I'd be if I didn't drink it my whole life. I give my kids tap water and my daughter is one of the two smartest kids in her school.

Tap has fluoride
