RE: 'Bouncing' Back about Fluoride

A few years ago I switched from "normal" (ie, Crest, etc) toothpaste to

a couple different types of Weleda brand toothpaste that I get from our

local hfs. I started with the "Salt and Baking Soda" one because I remember

my mom telling me that brushing with baking soda was good for your

teeth/mouth. I used to do that occassionally when I was growing up.

I also use their "Pink Toothpaste" which contains the Ratanhia you mention.

I use the salt at night to scrape the day out of my mouth, and I use the

pink in the morning to scrape the dragon breath out (it tastes fresher

than the salt, thus I like it in the morning).

 

The thing that drove me to look for a new toothpaste in the first place

was that my teeth were getting ever more sensitive to hot/cold/sweets

and I absolutely abhored the idea of the "numbing" pastes that my

dentist was recommending. I also don't like the whole fluoride thing.

Using the natural stuff, my teeth started feeling better. I knew I was

on the right path when, at my next visit to the dentist, the hygienist

commented on the fact that I was "lucky to be one of those people that

naturally didn't collect much tartar"! I guess she had forgotten over the

6 months that I was the person that normally had to take up TWO

cleaning periods just to get my teeth cleaned! It was a complete turnaround!

Hi yo'all

 

Well, I seem to have been bounced, hard ones as well as soft ones.It now appears to have been rectified?

 

Anyway, back to a subject. I have been trying to replenish some dental floss and have found to my horror, that fluoride is now incorporated into the major brands. Have found one, though that appears to have none and should be compatible with my Ratanhia toothpaste( supposed to be a powerful astringent that grows naturally in the Peruvian Andes, Krameria plant).

 

Using this toothpaste regularly for the last year has put my teeth and gums in tip-top condition.

 

But my question is this:- what is everyone else using? Can anyone tell me what 'natural' toothpaste is being used and if anyone has experienced any problems.

HOW TO MAKE A HERBAL TOOTHBRUSH - by David Hoffman - The Holistic Herbal

 

Choose a straight Marshmallow root and cut it lengthwise into 5 inch/12 cm

pieces.

Peel the ends and boil in water together with Cinnamon sticks and Cloves until

the sticks

are tender. Put the pieces carefully, as they break easily, into brandy and let

them

soak for a day.

 

Take them out and let them dry. Before you use them soak the ends for a short

time

in hot water. You will not even need to use toothpaste, since all the necessary

ingredients are in the root.
