We have been using Tooth Soap for several years now, and I absolutely love it. One jar will last the two of us about 4 months, which is really a good deal. I learned of other products that are also considered as ‘alternative’ toothpaste, but instead it is a powder. I bought it, and it was okay, but not as thorough and cleaning as Toothsoap.

Well, I’m kind of a creator of sorts. That’s why I love to create raw food dishes, writing down the ingredients and quantities, because I create on the fly. The same is true with what I put on my skin and body as well as what I put in my mouth. I make my own face and body cream using 10 different herbs and coconut oil. Are you aware that the FDA does not even regulate the contents of cosmetics, lotions, body wash, face creams, etc.?

(FDA is only able to regulate cosmetics after products are released to the marketplace. Neither cosmetic products nor cosmetic ingredients are reviewed or approved by FDA before they are sold to the public.

FDA cannot require companies to do safety testing of their cosmetic products before marketing. Source: FDA.org)

But really, regardless of the above statement, it is a fact that there are numerous chemicals in your run of the mill, Walmart variety of soaps, shampoos, body wash, shaving cream, conditioners, face cream, and so on. Another topic that is relevant includes the ingredients in cleaning products. Oh my goodness, I’ve heard atrocious stories along that whole topic as well. But let me get back to today’s topic: home made tooth soap-powder.

As my title above says, yup, you guessed it! I have been making my own tooth soap-powder for quite awhile. It works great, and it’s very cheap!

I just made another batch yesterday, and thought that I should share this recipe with all you wonderful readers. If you don’t want to get the ingredients and go through the time required to make it (it really only takes about 10-15 minutes) then I request you, no, urge you to seriously consider trying Tooth Soap. It always feels like I just came from a real teeth cleaning. My teeth are smooth, squeaky, and healthy. (And my dentist can’t believe that I don’t use toothpaste! LOL!!) Plus, I’m keeping fluoride and other unwanted chemicals out of my system.

Here is the recipe for my Tooth Soap-Powder

1/2 bar of organic natural soap

(Get the soap at the Health Food store, or purchase it online. I have a few bars of pure olive oil soap that I bought from someone who had been to Jerusalem. You just want to be sure it is pure and made with very basic organic ingredients. Half of a bar makes enough soap to last for several months.)

6-8 calcium carbonate tablets, crushed to a powder or you can use dried and crushed egg shells, which have lots of calcium.

1/2 - 1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp aluminum-free baking soda

1/4 - 1/2 tsp pure Peppermint oil extract – this is not really ‘cheap’ but one bottle will last several years!!

Grate the soap with the fine grater side of your cheese grater. Finely chop the remaining pieces of soap that you can’t grate without taking off your fingers!

Grind up the calcium tablets with either a mortal and pistil, two spoons, or even a small coffee grinder works well. If using dried egg shell, a small coffee grinder works best.

Put the soap and calcium (or eggshell) powder in a small container, preferably glass, and stir well. Add the salt, baking soda, and peppermint extract. Stir and mix everything well.

You now have your own home made tooth soap-powder. You are probably wondering how to use it since it doesn’t spread on your toothbrush very well! Today’s generation probably never knew that before toothpaste, there was tooth powder. I remember seeing my grandfather using it, and it was probably some pretty decent tooth cleaning powder back then!

I simply pour a small amount into the palm of my hand, pick it up with my my tongue, and then chew it briefly with my front teeth until it becomes a paste. You don’t want the tooth soap-powder to get close to the back of your throat, so keep it near the front of your mouth. Then start brushing with a wet toothbrush. You’ll feel the difference immediately when you rinse out your mouth! Cool, and tingling!

You can adjust the amount of peppermint oil extract depending on how minty and ‘hot’ you like it. Peppermint oil extract is a powerful bacteria fighter and continues working long after you finished brushing.

If you are new to the whole concept regarding the dangers of fluoride and the regular drug store variety toothpaste, you will want to read an excellent book by Dr. Gerard F. Judd, Professor, Chemist and Researcher. His book: “Good Teeth Birth to Death” reveals the false information that is being perpetrated on the American public and he builds a strong case for the use of tooth soap. Much of Dr. Judd’s work is summarized on this page, as well as in a 37 page PDF document that is a compilation of articles, facts about fluoride and testimonials from people who use ToothSoap.

The Ultimate in Mouth Care for Perfect Teeth and Gums for Life!

Weston A. Price and his wife, Florence, wrote a book titled: “Nutrition and Physical Degeneration” sometime before 1939, where they reveal the results of their studies of communities in Switzerland, the Hebrides and tribes of Indians in Alaska. They discovered that these isolated people, whose diet consisted of only natural food, had about 1/15th the decay as people who ate refined carbohydrates.

Recently, a Canadian, Dean Bonlie, DDS, found the same phenomenon in Alaskan Indians and South Sea Islanders. He discovered that people eating a highly refined carbohydrate diet had badly decayed teeth, when they should have had perfect teeth. Yet, tribesmen and islanders who didn’t consume refined carbohydrate products did have perfect teeth. Interestingly, and what is really good news, Dr. Bonlie discovered that when the tribesmen changed their diet and dental habits, bad teeth and gums were completely reversed!

I believe the most research done on the dangers and myths about flouride, toothpaste, tooth decay and gum health has been done by Dr. Gerard F. Judd, Professor, Chemist and Researcher. His excellent book, “Good Teeth Birth to Death” reveals the false information that is being perpetrated on the American public and he builds a strong case for the use of tooth soap. Much of Dr. Judd’s work is summarized on this page, as well as in the free PDF you can download here.

3 Reasons Why You Need to Stop Using Tooth Paste

Reason #1: Toothpaste Contains Fluoride.

Fluoride is a severe biological poison. Being intensely negative, it unlatches positive hydrogen bonds in enzymes and proteins. If you look at your tube of toothpaste, you will see a warning similar to this:

“Warning. Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If more than [sic] used for brushing is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.”

The warning on toothpaste tubes is due to lawsuits in which children were poisoned by fluoride-containing toothpaste. For instance, Keith Cantor, a little boy who lived in McMinnville, Oregon died in the dentist’s chair from ingesting ½ teaspoon of fluoride, and 3 kidney dialysis patients were killed in 1998 at the University of Chicago Medical School, when nurses used unpurified Chicago tap water for dialysis (ref 11).

To add to the problem, most states add at least 1 ppm of sodium fluoride or fluorosilic acid (radioactive toxic waste that contains fluoride) to the water supply, even though it has been proven that at least 113 medical side effects from cancer to headaches are caused by fluoride in the water.

Reason #2: Toothpaste Prevents Tooth Re-enamelization

Toothpaste contains viscous, sticky glycerin, the main ingredient in toothpaste, which coats the teeth and prevents re-enamelization from nutrients in the diet. Glycerin takes over 20 rinses to be removed and leaves your teeth coated! Skeptical? Try this simple test. Start with a clean sink and smear some of your toothpaste on the sink. Rinse it off and watch how the water beads up because of the sticky glycerin. You will have to keep rinsing and rinsing to remove it! Your teeth are similar to a porcelain sink, and your teeth are being coated every time you use toothpaste. Coated teeth cannot re-enamelize from nutrients in the diet!

Reason #3: Toothpaste Contains Silica

Silica, which is sand, can harm gums and abrades (wears away) tooth enamel.

“Your liquid tooth soap is the best product I ever bought on line!” — Marianna R., WI

What Is the Solution for Healthier Teeth and Gums?

How you care for your mouth determines the health of your teeth and gums. Use soap to clean your teeth because soap is an excellent detergent, mixing insoluble oils on the tongue, inner cheek and teeth with the water and rinsing it away. Teeth that are cleaned and rinsed using bar soap are far cleaner than those cleaned with toothpaste, which contains sugar, acid, chalk, silicates (sand), soap, fluoride, methyl benzoate (for a cool mouth) dyes, stabilizers, mixing agents and other contaminating chemicals. These badly contaminate the teeth and prevent good enamelization.

Any soap won’t do. The soap must be free of impurities.

Unlike other toothpastes on the market, Perfect Prescription Tooth Soap contains NO added glycerin, synthetic sweeteners, silicates (sand), fluoride, dyes, stabilizers or other materials that can damage teeth. All batches of Perfect Prescription bar shreds and liquid soap are made in small quantities to insure you are getting a fresh product. Tooth Soap tastes best if used within 3 months of opening the jar. Perfect Prescription Tooth Soap is made in the USA in a commercial kitchen licensed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture and is Certified Kosher by Star-K.

“Thank you for the tooth soap. It is wonderful. I’ve been using the soap for about 2 months now. After an absence of 2 years from the dentist, I went for a check-up yesterday, and my dentist told me that my gums and teeth are so healthy, that there was nothing for him to do. He exclaimed that I’ve been doing a good job of keeping my teeth clean. No scraping and no hurting. And this is from a person who had gum surgery due to pockets in the gums and I still have one pocket that is now clean whereas before my dentist would tsk, tsk, tsk. Thanks again.” — Ara

What did you have for breakfast this morning? Did you have a bowl of fruit, a smoothie or other healthy food? Many people today are more health conscious and are paying attention to what they are putting into their bodies. But, is the same attention being paid to what you are putting on your body?Did you know that the common beauty products that most of us use everyday have poisonous chemical ingredients that are being absorbed, ingested or inhaled by our bodies before we even eat our healthy breakfast? These chemical ingredients are absorbed into the bloodstream, weakening the immune system and slowly poisoning you!

According to the U.S. Government and product manufacturers, the following is a partial list of chemical poisons found in the common beauty products. (Reference: The Politics of Poison, by Nina G. Silver, Ph.D. 2000, Government Agencies, Medical Institutions, and Product Manufacturers)

Product (match the numbers to the ingredients to see a list of side effects)

Acne Medication: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Antibacterial Hand Cleanser: 8
Antiperspirant: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7
Bath Soap: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Facial Cleanser: 2, 3, 7
Foot Deodorant: 3, 5, 7
Mouthwash: 3, 4, 5, 7
Shaving Cream: 2, 3, 7
Toothpaste: 2, 3, 4, 5

Known Poisonous Ingredients and Side Effects

(1) Alcohols: - Acid and Alkali: rashes, muscle weakness, headaches, dizziness, nerve damage, vision problems, insomnia, stomach cramps, depression, respiratory problems, and cancer
(2) Detergents/Emulsifiers: strips skin of protective oils, skin irritation, scalp eruptions, hair loss, allergic reactions, cataract formation, reproductive damage, blindness, and cancer
(3) Synthetic Fragrance and Dyes: allergic reactions, skin rashes, upset stomach, muscular aches and pains, violent coughing and sneezing, hyperactivity, convulsions, Leukemia, Hodgkin’s, ADD, dizziness, depression, and cancer
(4) Heavy Metals: abdominal cramps, nausea, muscle weakness, mouth sores, muscle, joint, and bone pain, cancer, brain disorders, ADD, and hyperactivity
(5) Pesticides and Fungicides: flu-like symptoms, stomach cramps, nervous system disorders, insomnia, memory loss, swelling of body parts, dizziness, birth defects, and gland tumors
(6) Petrochemicals: inhibits skin functions, blemishes, rashes, splitting nails, sensitivity to sun, headaches, allergic reactions, depression, fatigue, intestinal gas, asthma, and respiratory failure
(7) Preservatives (synthetic): headaches, skin rashes, eye damage, asthma, tumors, cancer, digestive problems, mental confusion, organ damage, muscle weakness and cramps, and loss of motor control
(8) Triclosan: Absorption through the skin can be tied to liver damage

Take a moment to look at the ingredient list on your Face Wash, Acne Cleanser, Body Wash, Soap, Shampoo, or other beauty product. Although these toxic chemical ingredients will produce the desired results, they will also be absorbed into your bloodstream and cause undesired side effects.

Even Toothpaste has a Warning Label!

What are the Alternatives?

Companies are beginning to recognize the high consumer demand for natural, organic, botanical beauty products (without toxic chemicals) and as a result, independent distributors, health food stores and some grocery stores now sell these products. Be careful though because sometimes the natural, organic, botanical ingredients are promoted to appeal to the health conscious consumer yet the product still has many toxic chemical ingredients. Read the packaging and ingredient list carefully to protect you and your family!

Natural, organic, botanical beauty products will achieve the same results (or even better results) without risking the health of you or your family!

Check out your local Health Food store for natural soaps, deodorants, body wash, creams, and cosmetics.
