Are there any natural ways to promote teeth health? (besides brushing)

I home cook so Chloe's food isn't as hard as a dry food diet would be. Would bones be a good idea? If bones are good, what kind and do they have to be completely raw? I'm worried about the bacteria on a completely raw bone.

I gave her Nutri-Dent chews 1 time and they did clean her teeth but they got all squishy and gross looking. I'm looking for other options because when she eats her food she eats it pretty quick without needing to chew it a lot so I'm thinking maybe a bone would be good but I'm not sure.
