Toothpaste

[Guest guest]

Hi Gillian,

Well, that's a good way to clean the bacteria out of your nose........by

sneezing the anti-bacterial toothpaste out your nose, haha!! I won't

touch the one about your orifices being all connected up wrong!!!

Take care,

I don't know about toothpastes helping mouth sores, but for ones caused by

MTX, folic acid seems to do the trick for me. I take 5 mg a day and haven't

had one since I went up to that amount.

Do you take folic acid? This seems to halt the mouth sores from the Metho.

If you don't, ask your Dr. about it.

Just wondering if anyone has used Orajel toddler training toothpaste. It

is fluoride free and the active ingredients are poloxamer and simethicone.

Are these something to be concerned about if swallowed?

The appealing part is it tastes good and there is a picture of Little Bear

on the tube. Also, it is a clear gel, so no food dyes either.

we use the toddler toothpaste with no probs at all. My son (30 months) does not

know how to spit so he swallows this stuff all the time. It tastes like berries

and he will brush alittle better when we keep putting it on the toothbrush. So

we go through a lot of the stuff

FORWARDED TO ME.....WANTED TO PASS IT ON. See additional note at bottom.

There is a tooth paste for dry mouth. It doesn't make your mouth less dry but it

does help your teeth and gums. Biotene Is made for people with dry mouth. Many

things can cause dry mouth, medications, diabetes, Asthma, Radiation Therapy,

Sjogren's Syndromeand Kidney Dialysis. This tooth paste has Antibacterial

enenzymes in it to help protect your teeth and gums from germs that cause tooth

decay and gingivitis. You can buy Biotene at Wal Mart or any major Pharmacy. It

is more expensive than regular tooth paste but it is worth it to keep your teeth

and gums heathly.

If you can't find it there is a 800 # on the box you can call and probaly they

can tell you where to find it. 1-800-922-5856

First, let me just say that I found it very worthwhile to search

until we found a dentist that didn't disapprove of everything we

believe! Our local dentists were worthless, but in traveling about

an hour we have a fantastic pediatric dentist who went so far as to

say not only is fluoride not that important, its the brushing not the

paste that matters. My daughter recently had 3 babyteeth removed by

him using only novicane (not anesthesia like our local dentists

insisted would be necessary) and he called me on a Sunday night to

check on how she was doing! Wonderful doctors are out there I'm

so glad that your son's teeth are doing well!!! You definitely

should tell your dentist its thanks to your good parenting and not

his advice that your son's teeth are so healty. My daughter is

cavity free as well

Dentist, although happy about what good shape my son's teeth are in,

complained about my using an herbal toothpaste. One that didn't

contain fluoride and a host of other no-no's for us. He said to mark

his words, if we didn't switch back, and soon, we'd have cavities at

our next visit. Well, November, the 6 mo. appt. came, and went. Our

Dentist, due to family issues, cancelled 3 of the following appt.s as

well. So here it is, a full year has gone by and we finally get to

see him. Now one thing that I brought up at our last appt. was this

discoloration on a few of ph's teeth. Some spots that were ultra

white on his front teeth. Perhaps they were everywhere, but I could

only see them well, on his front teeth. Anyway, the Dentist didn't

have an answer, and since fluoride chelates much needed selenium, I

continued on with our herbal toothpaste. The only change ( and this

was due to enzymes lessening his sensory sensitivities) was I began

flossing his teeth when I brushed them. The result? A year has gone

by, white spots on his teeth are gone, and his gums and teeth are in

great shape. Not only doesn't he have any cavities, but the Dentist

said there isn't even any shadowing, which I learned is a precursor

to cavities. He said whatever we were doing, to keep it up. The

weenie that I am, I never mentioned keeping the herbal toothpaste, so

he gets to keep his illusions about the much overplayed benefit of

fluoride. I guess I just wanted one local doctor that didn't roll his

eyes when he see's me. So parents out there, I can say for us,

happily, we've sacrificed nothing by throwing away our Crest

toothpaste, and we've perhaps gained a great deal.

Hi Jerry,

I am unable to view Channel 5 News, however I really want to thank you for

posting the information on toothpastes. I am going to send a copy to all my

friends who are not on the Dr. Group.

Thanks Again,

Toothpaste Danger

I don't know if any of you watched Channel 5 News last night, but they did

an investigation on dollar stores (including Dollar Tree, Greenbacks & 99

Cents). They discovered the Crest, Colgate and other brand name

toothpastes weren't the same as from Wal-mart, grocery stores etc. The

toothpastes were manufactured in many other countries and are not approved

by the American Dental Association (ADA). There was even some from South

Africa and the fluoride is ten times stronger than what we're allowed in

the U.S.(prescription strength). They're allowed stronger because they

don't have fluoridated water (like we do). So if we (or our kids) use it

often and occasionally swallow it, we could be poisoning ourselves. The

dollar stores declined to comment and a full investigation has begun. So

stick to paying full-price at the grocery store and send this e-mail to

anyone who shops at dollar stores.

This was sent to me by a friend, and I pass it along to you.

The only toothpaste or powder we recommend is Peelu.

Jerry,

I have been using a product called " Microbrite " which is from Royal Body

Care, an MLM company and I absolutely love it. Your mouth is super

clean and the formula is loaded with an antioxidant. I am not a

distributor, nor do I have any financial interest in the company, but

simply a very satisfied customer. I never have plaque on my teeth anymore.

Just thought I would inform you of a great product.

Hi Jerry,

My wife & I changed to Tom's Natural Care Toothpase [natural propolis & myrrh]

and we love it. It is all natural!!

Most of Tom's toothpastes have flouride in them now, since they went

mainstream and are sold in groceries. They do still have one or two without

flouride, that you can get at a healthfood store, but the healthfood stores

also sell the ones with flouride, so read your labels carefully.

I use something called " Oregano Toothpowder " , distributed by Wholesome

International. PO Box34701, SanDiego, CA 92163-4701 . You can order it

from the Dr. site. I dilute and sweeten it with some xylitol. Works

great.

Joy and All,

Always check for abrasives - which can affect the cementuum on the root

surface just beyond the enamel. It's dangerous. Be safe and preventive.bi

Use Peelu all natural fibers. We like Peelu Dental Fibers powder.

I second the soap recommendation. I use pure olive oil bar soap from

I have a 14 yr old and have always had this problem. I've been using

Clenzology tooth drops from Garden of Life. It only takes a drop. The

ingredients are: coconut oil, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, thyme

oil, sweet marjoram oil, myrrh oil and clove oil. It's very " minty " if

your child has taste issues.

I get mine from a place in NC that sells for 30% off retail and free

shipping on GOL products and you also save on tax, if you're out of

state. It's about $7.00 for .5 oz and I'm on my first bottle, so I

don't know how long that lasts. The website is www.celtic-seasalt.com.

>> Hi. What's the best way to clean teeth for a kid who will not spit

I've used a little bit of baking soda and water. That is, if your child

tolerates the tastes of baking soda.

You might check if some of the kid's toothpastes are fine swallowed,

and then just use a very little bit. The dentist might have ideas.

We use toothpaste by Burt's Bees and it doesn't have anything in it like

flouride, artificial sugars or petroleum. Tastes like orange cream, my boys

love it. We just use a little and I rub it all over the bristles so it looks

like there is more. Mine don't spit either, unless it is at each other!

Hi Tina. I believe I can help you. The toothpastes do not need to contain

mold in order for them to cause us symptoms as you described. There are a

number of chemicals in commercial and even so called " healthy " toothpastes

that will cause symptoms to those who are sensitive to them. Some

toothpastes are now adding chemical antimicrobials which are can cause

adverse symptoms.

Prior to my illness had a health practice and had a number of clients with

similar adverse symtoms after brushing their teeth. Once they switched to a

toothpaste without those chemicals they had no further symptoms.

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and Sodium fluoride are two known such chemicals

and when avoided we often see improvment with our gums and teeth. Take a

look at:

http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/brands?tbl=brands & id=3005\

032

This is a very useful data base to find ingredients in common household

products and also description of the ingredients.

Don't laugh but the most effective and safest dentrifice I have found is

plain old soap. Unscented, made from lye with the just the base oils needed

for soap. Cannot be glycerine based soaps. I brush my teeth with the soap,

rinse well about three times and have clean teeth with no film or coating

and no irritation.

I don't know if there is a fungi problem with toothpaste but I did see

a list of the 10 most dangerous products and toothpaste was number 10.

If I can find the article I will post it. I also have trouble and I

use baking soda a lot. Usually have good checkups even though I don't

go regular enough.
