Hey NLJabbari,
Both are by prescription. For the toothpaste, I went to my local pharmacy first and asked about it. They told me they didn't have it, but a compound pharmacy should be able to make it for me. I then contacted my insurance company and found out which compound pharmacies it covers. I then contacted the compound pharmacy and they told me what the prescription needed to say and I asked my doctor to write one for me, and the toothpaste was ready in about a week.
As for the mouthwash, that too is by prescription only but you can actually make it yourself. Magic Mouthwash contains Nystatin, Maalox, Benadryl, and Lidocaine. Since I didn't like the feeling of the Lidocaine, I just purchased the Maallox and Benadyrl at my local drugstore and mixed equal parts and swished for about a minute. I think the Nystatin is by prescription only as well, but I only mix that in if I feel like I have any oral thrush-- I feel that the Maalox and Benadryl is what really does the trick in the mouthwash!
