Dental check ups- toothpaste question

[Guest guest]

Is there a Pecan group decision or advice on doing dental cleanings for

people on the SCD diet? I noticed on earlier messages that you can

bring in your own SCD legal toothpaste and ask to have it mixed with

Dental pumice. Also, do most people on the SCD diet use special

toothpaste?

There is no SCD official position on toothpaste or cleanings because

the paste or pumice is spit out. We would only be concerned if the

child swallows toothpaste. I am not sure what proportion of people

use what , but some use regular toothpaste, some use natural

toothpaste like Tom's of Maine, some use baking soda, and some just

use water.

Hi I was wondering if the ingredients in Tooth Soap are okay. This is what

my family uses. We have been using it for years. Its made in the US. We

started using it because it is a whole lot healthier than most.

Ingredients: Specially formulated soap made from saponified coconut, palm,

extra virgin olive oils and pure essential oil. NO added glycerin,

sweeteners, silicates (sand), fluoride, dyes, stabilizers or other material

that can damage teeth. Certified Kosher by Star-K.

If that is actually the ingredient list, then it looks okay. I had

to look up " saponified " . It just means " made into soap " . There may

be some other ingredients involved in making the oil into soap. But

again, you don't swallow it, so not a problem.
