What do you use for toothpaste?

  I use Tom's of Maine, tried making my own for a while, it turned out to be easier for me to just use Tom's.

  Yeah avoid Toms of Maine at all costs. And to just throw it out there Burt's Bees products too. I use Nature's Gate fluoride-free and sometimes Desert Essence fluoride-free. I also just use plain baking soda here and there. That good o' tooth powder sounds interesting. I might give that a try.:)

  I mix ground horsetooth, organic baking soda, peppermint & clove therapeutic grade essential oils, & a little water.

  My dental hygienist says my teeth and gums are very healthy, people regularly compliment me on my teeth ;)

  I added the clove EO because I chipped a tooth and it hasn't been fixed yet, but I want to keep it infection free.

  this is an interesting thread. i read somewhere awhile back that there is bacteria living in our mouths that we constantly ingest and that these bacteria contain B12. now, for years i've heard how i cannot get enough B12 because i'm vegan and the only place to find it is in animal matter. i've also heard that is bull and that it's in nutritional yeast and even sesame seeds.

  but this is the first time i've heard this about the bacteria.

  apparantly using toothpaste kills the little bacteria and then you don't get the B12 and have to take supplements.

  anyone else ever heard anything like this?

  the alternative suggestion was to brush your teeth with a dry toothbrush. also, i know that having bad breath is a direct result of what you eat. so if you truly are eating a healthy raw, vegan diet your breath should be super duper. supposedly...

  Uncle Harry's jar toothpaste.

  No fluoride, no glycerin, nothing you can't actually eat.

  My teeth are whiter, and I'm telling myself daily that my teeth are remineralizing :)
