Don't swallow your toothpaste (a little bit doesn't matter, but don't go eating it by the tube). Good thing is, Flouride actually makes you throw up, before you can eat enough toothpaste to die from it. <br />I like cleaning my teeth with soap, but I found that my teeth definitley need the flouride to survive my daily onslaught of coffee and other stuff. We don't have flouridized water here either, which might make a difference. I now use soap in the evening and toothpaste in the morning. It seems to work fine. <br />Give me a shout, if you want me to send you some soap, but I have no vegetarian unfragranced soap left. That one would have to wait for a while. If you don't like it, you can always use it in the shower instead ;-)madpianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076396196989808743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-36089838642452088162010-02-24T14:17:05.349-08:002010-02-24T14:17:05.349-08:00Hi all, as I said I have not made it but love the ...Hi all, as I said I have not made it but love the idea of something with no fluoride in it in particular. See the following link, from the Independent, from which I have copied an excerpt:<br /><br />http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/healthy-living/is-fluoride-safe-780948.html<br /><br /><br />What we do know is that fluoride is toxic – so toxic, in fact, that in 1984, the makers of Colgate, Procter & Gamble, reportedly admitted that a small tube of their toothpaste "theoretically at least contains enough fluoride to kill a small child". <br /><br />Fluoride has been linked to cot death, eczema and Alzheimer's. It has been shown, at low doses, to cause genetic damage. And it has been linked by doctors from the National Cancer Institute and the National Health Federation to cancer. <br /><br /><br />madpiano - I am intrigued by toothsoap I must say - never heard of it - have you found it a good replacement?Sophie Gisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362731913384016146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-12217348071222281902010-02-24T10:54:23.431-08:002010-02-24T10:54:23.431-08:00ummm - if you want to I send you some tooth soap. ...ummm - if you want to I send you some tooth soap. But I am sure you soon will be back to your normal toothpaste. SLS is a thing that many people want to avoid, I give you that, and it's pretty tough finding a toothpaste without it (they are out there, but cost quite a bit more than 2.99). But Flouride is not something you want to not use. I tried toothsoap for a while (as a soapmaker, it was a natural thing to try) and while it left my teeth sparkling clean and got rid of Tartar, my teeth became very sensitive and got stained more than usual by coffee. <br />Using baking soda can scratch your teeth as well. You don't need it. You essentially just need soap for disinfection. The mechanical cleaning is done by your toothbrush. <br />Now don't go and use your bar of Dove. That one contains Fragrance Oils which are probably worse than SLS. You need unfragranced natural soap, if you want to go down that route. It is honestly not as bad as it sounds, doesn't even taste that bad and could be done with a Peppermint soap as well. <br />If you really want cheap toothpaste, Tesco Extra Value comes in at £0.17. It's not the greatest, but it's toothpaste. And let me know, if you want to try some soap ;-)madpianohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02076396196989808743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956590283954337779.post-12748858860932849512010-02-23T13:23:54.285-08:002010-02-23T13:23:54.285-08:00I didnt know you could make toothpaste!
