"I'm Going to Wash Your Mouth Out With Soap!"

Did your mom ever say that to you? I hope not, but if she did, she was actually onto something.

Do you know what ingredients are in your toothpaste? Did you ever wonder about the “Do Not Swallow” warning on the label or why many toothpastes say they are not to be used by children under six-years of age? Why is there silica in your toothpaste? Medicinenet.com defines silica this way: “Silica: The chief component of sand and a substance responsible for lung disease and cancer.” Read the label on your own toothpaste and I’m guessing you’re going to think twice before you squeeze that tube tonight before you go to bed!

I brush my teeth with soap. Yes, I do, and I will continue to do so. Do you wake up with “morning mouth” and a coating on your teeth? I used to, but not anymore. Now my teeth feel smooth and slick when I brush my tongue across. I feel kissable all the time. It’s great! After brushing only a couple of times with tooth soap, that icky toothpaste coating was gone from my teeth.

If you’d like to read more about tooth soap and what other people besides me have to say about it, here’s your opportunity. Read judiciously and make up your own mind, but do take a few moments to read about Tooth Soap – The Perfect Prescription. Like me, you may be very glad you did.
