COCKTAIL FACT Scientists have yet to identify about half the bacteria that live in our mouths. LIKE THIS TIP? Then check out . . .The SF Dentist TipThe Turn off the Faucet Tip RATE THIS TIP How useful is this tip?(5 is the highest) 1 2 3 4 5 Want better $%@#@$ teeth cleaners? The Bite Watch your mouth - and check our picks for eco toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, and mouthwash. They forgo less-sustainable ingredients and sure beat washing your mouth out with eco-soap. The Benefits Swallow your words, not chems. Give good grin without conventional ingredients such as triclosan, an antibacterial which may react with the chlorine in your tap water to create the carcinogenic chem chloroform (though in small enough amounts that you won't pass out). Environmentally correct brushing. In the United States, 50 million pounds of toothbrushes end up in landfills each year - try a replaceable head brush to minimize plastic use. Personally Speaking Toshio used to get canker sores all the time, but they're rare since he switched to toothpaste without the foaming agent sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Wanna Try? Radius Source Toothbrush - replaceable-head toothbrush; you can keep the recycled plastic handle forever ($6). Tom's of Maine Clean & Gentle Care - peppermint, SLS-free version of Tom's toothpaste ($5). Tom's of Maine Naturally Waxed Floss - nylon-based floss that avoids the petrochemical waxes used in most flosses ($4). Miessence Freshening Mouth Wash - supertingly formula (with clove, peppermint, and spearmint oils) lets you feel it's actually working ($13).
