Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yes, it is a bar soap and one that does not contain glycerin. Barbara What kind of tooth soap have you been using? Is it in bar form? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I noticed on Etsy.com that someone was selling "toothsoap" a while back. In the description she added that her dentist reccommended it, etc etc. Personally, I am using a baking soda mix (peppermint flavouring, sea salt, and a smidge of glycerin to make the powder more managable) for toothpaste. My teeth are actually whiter... but now I need to find out what to do about the sensitivity... ~Kriscyndikrall wrote: Barbara, is it especially for teeth, or is it a generic bar soap?Cyndi In a message dated 3/13/2008 4:01:03 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 You're welcome, lol. The tooth paste "dilemma" has been bothering me for a while now, but I just recently got around to trying to find a better alternative. I've tried some things and not been happy with them. I'm going to go look for a tooth "soap" now and I'll report back. LOL. Cyndi In a message dated 3/15/2008 8:19:51 A.M.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I read somewhere that baking soda is too abrasive to use on your teeth every day. I'll try to find the site again. Glycerin is one of the ingredients that makes tooth paste bad. It is a cheap filler. I have sensitive teeth too. I'm interested to see what tooth soap does for me.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 Did you read Dr. Judd's article? Glycerin is one of the 'bad guys' in conventional toothpaste.... Here is an excerpt: 4. Teeth re-enamelize when clean. To make teeth clean one brushes with any soap. Soap washes off in just 2 rinses. What about toothpastes? Glycerine in all tooth pastes is so sticky that it takes 27 washes to get it off. Teeth brushed with any toothpaste are coated with a film and cannot properly re-enamelize.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 I saw that too. "Retained glycerin" is a natural byproduct of the saponification process, and is nothing at all like synthetic, added glycerin. Apparently, they can remove the retained glycerin for a drier product, or leave it in. The only thing I'm not sure about is the citric acid. i have no idea if this is good for teeth or not.

I'm sure there are more hits, but i didn't look too far. It looks like there are people who love it and people who hate it. I think even in baking soda toothpaste, it's pretty diluted.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Really? I never get tired of researching stuff. I am constantly amazed at the amount of information out there. I like being able to get a wide array of opinions on everything. It helps me form opinions. And when everyone is out to make a buck, and pushing their own agenda, we need to get as much info as we can. It is time consuming, though. Cyndi In a message dated 3/15/2008 6:30:46 P.M.
