Interesting article about teeth (long)

Half water and half vinegar is good for dissolving plaque and candida in your mouth. Soap sounds like a good idea too, but I can't get past imagining the taste!

Vinegar will eat enamel! Always rinse real well if you eat vinegar. Getting past the taste of the soap wasn't hard. I know some people said that was the biggest hurdle, but I really didn't have a problem with it. If you use bar soap just make sure you keep it aside for teeth only. Don't use it to wash hands etc. I just put a couple drops of Dr. Bronner's Liquid Castile Soap on my brush. That stuff it really pure with no additives.

Acids do cause cavities

and the bacteria are only opportunistic. If the acid can get through the

enamel

Exactly! That's why you should always at least rinse teeth with water (if you can't brush) after you eat anything, especially sticky or sugary stuff.. Swish some water around. Get the acids out of your mouth. The soap really isn't bad. Try it 3 or 4 times and see if you get used to it. Some people just spit after they brush their teeth, but I always rinse well with water. You won't even taste the soap after that.

The salt was

like flour in a few seconds. Love it!

That's a great idea, Jean. After I do my soap thing I often use salt water in my water pik. Maybe I'll try your grinding hint and also brush with it every now and then.

Also using a ultra soft bristle brush will not damage the enamel on your

teeth where the harder bristle brushes will.

I use a Sonicare toothbrush which I love. I could never go back to a manual toothbrush! Got mine for $45.00 brand new on Ebay. Usually runs about $99 in stores. I also have an electric one by Oral-B and that has a smaller head and is better for hard to reach places. Just don't apply a lot of pressure. Just guide it around and let the toothbrush do all the work!!

Hi Don,

I thought it might be of interest that I used the coffee mill/herb grinder

to powder the salt for the tooth powder, using baking soda. The salt was

like flour in a few seconds. Love it!

That is what I do as well. Very fine particles.

Okay...question about this....

What ratio do you use to make the baking soda and salt mixture? How much do you use on a tooth brush? What kind of salt do you use?

Now, with the peroxide rinse...do you dilute the peroxide or do you use is straight...and do you simply take a swig and swish and gargle it and then spit it out?

I am wanting to try this but want to make sure I'm doing it right.

Thanks!

Now the trick here is to use a soap that has had the glycerin removed. This usually means a store bought variety. I think this needs a little more looking into, I do like the concept but am a little uncertain about eating soap again. Maybe I will just stick to the baking soda and salt routine. Works wonders for me along with a good peroxide rinse.

===========================

Just so you know, Dr. Bronner's soaps do retain the glycerin. It is not

removed like most commercial soaps. Just a note for those who wish to

brush their chompers and are concerned about the glycerin.

I have some of this tooth soap. It lasts a long long time.

Hi Sara,

You don't have to use Peroxide. This is just what I use. If you have a

mouthwash that is glycerin, and flouride free then go for it but just so

you know the phenol in that mouthwash (if it has it) is a manmade

chemical and not all that good for your body (liver).

I make my own mouthwash by placing a whole bunch of fresh parsley into

the blender with some alcohol (vodka, everclear) and blend it really

well. I then let it sit for several weeks and then strain. I then add

50% distilled water and enough peppermint essential oil to flavor. One

could also use peppermint herb and infuse it with the parsley but I

didn't have any this time around. You can use any mint really. St.

's Wort makes an interesting mouth wash too.

========================

Most of the store bought commercial brands (the usual ones anyway) have

the glycerin removed to be used for other purposes.
