Toothpaste?

Hey guys,
Does anyone know an alternative for toothpaste? Or maybe a recipe to make your own? Thanks!

 

hey beautiful freak!
this is one my main missions. i have been using natural toothpastes for the last five years or so & am finding out that even those have some not so good ingredients.
i'm doing some research on homemade versions right now....so i'll get back to ya

 

auromere is dank. other than that i havent found a good one. i would say almost all of Tom's products use petrochemicals. but they defend it as natural (a derivitave of petroleum and natural gas) remember that 'natural' is advertisement, not ingredients.

 

ooh josai I can't wait!
yeah tom of mains isn't really natural, that's what I heard too.. I don't think they sell it in the netherlands anyway!
what's auromere?

 

auromere is good & tastes really yummy, but if i remember correctly it has either sodium laureth or glycerine in it (both of which i'm trying to avoid)
i'm trying to find these natural homemade recipesi once had....i'll keep looking & get back to ya

 

oh damn.. what's wrong with glycerine though?

 

baking soda?

 

oh yes I heard that too but I don't know what it is haha! soda is salt right? baking is cooking right? who bakes in salt? I just don't get it.. sorry, dutchie here!

 

supposedly glycerine coats your teeth, leaving a film on them that makes it difficult to absorb the minerals from the food you eat! my mom had turned me on to this research all about it....i'll ask her for a link to send you
not sure if i believe all that & it would be REALLy difficult to avoid glycerine if you were looking for a commercial product (as even almost all the natural ones have it included)....now about baking soda - i think it's just sodium bicarbonate. in the states we can get it at any grocery or pharmacy. most of the homemade recipes will contain it. still searching for some good ones to send you

 

I used to use any toothpaste like colgate, aquafresh and so on... until i learned about animal testing... and then i got the idea that the toothpaste that were AD whatever, aprooved were just to make you have to go to the dentist... also my gums always would bleed after brushing with those brands...
so I started using the natural ones from the health food store.
i havent had to go to the dentist in about 5 years... no bleeding gums, no tooth aches or bad breath, and their whiter than before.
i've used Tom's natural toothpaste, JASON and Natures Gate...
no probs with these...
and they do taste good

It's a good site. I liked the lavendar toothpaste.

Peace & Love

 

My dad has also been using baking soda for as long as I can remember.

Works good, it's cheap, but it tastes pretty funky...

 

Yeah, toothlessness.
