Natural teeth cleaners

[Paula]

My family is about to turn me over to the authorities. My son saw a page I printed out about using baking soda and salt to brush your teeth with and he just shook his head. His mama is going crazy.

I've decided that if I'm going to stop using so many commercial-type cleansers/cleaners, I have two options. One is to buy the all-natural expensive stuff that costs twice as much as what I'm using now - OR - I can go the cheap route and make my stuff myself. Right now, I'm going the cheap route. I think it's probably healthier or at least as healthy as the expensive stuff anyway.

Does anyone use this type of teeth cleaner? Am I crazy to consider it? Is it too abrasive? Anything else I need to consider or any other options?

Thank you!

My grandma only used that to clean her teeth. every other single kind of toothpaste broke her mouth out somethin' fierce! i remember her keeping it in a plastic yogurt container on the shelf in her bathroom and she would just wet her toothbrush and dip it in the container. It was a 'treat' for me to use that when i visited her it doesn't taste too bad, kinda different and salty, but kinda good in a wacko kinda way, LOL....

I say go for it, at least on a trial basis.

Does your walmart down there carry Tom's of Maine tooth paste? My skiatook walmart just started carrying but the owasso one, the bigger of the two, does not. it was about the same price as a small tube of Crest...about 2:60 or so...but i think the tube was smaller than a regular paste the same cost.

I use baking soda, salt and peroxide. It keeps my teeth very white and it is a great gum tightener. If you have amalgam fillings, you can use colloidal silver in place of peroxide.

Thank you, Samantha and Tina.

Sam, I loved your visual about the yogurt cup in your grandma's bathroom. It brought back good memories of my own grandparents' houses - sewing notions in old candy tins, the old metal bread boxes in the kitchen, the "chewin' tabackie" in the cabinet (oops, did I just let out a family secret? It was my grandmothers, not my granddads!) - and all those other wonderful memories that I miss so much.

Tina, where would I find colloidal silver? I hate these amalgam fillings but can't do anything about them.

Thank you so much!

Any health food store should have it.

Simple enough. Thanks, Tina.

Paula I miss my grandma too!

Tina, so are you saying we shouldn't use peroxide if we do have amalgam fillings and only use colloidal silver? If so, how come? Thanks

[Mom2boys]

Yes, no peroxide with amalgams. Peroxide breaks down the amalgam which can cause mercury toxicity.

Here's a good link about natural tooth paste.

Could you give a "recipe" for mixing baking soda, salt and colloidal silver? Thanks

HEALTHY GUM "SECRET" RECIPE:

The Secret consists of both DRY AND WET ingredients.

Dry ingredients:

• Baking Soda (sodium bicarbonate) – either regular or pharmaceutical grade (available at our office). If you are sensitive to sodium, then use potassium bicarbonate. AlkaMax is a good substitute.

Plus ONE of the following:

• Bio-Salt (available at our office), or

• Himalayan salt, or

• Celtic salt, or

• Regular table salt, or

• Parkelp, a granulated kelp, available in a package or bulk at health food stores, or

• Sodium-free (potassium) salt for salt restricted diets.


Combine your dry ingredients in a small jar with a lid:

• three (3) parts Baking Soda
and
• one (1) part salt

Shake this dry mixture to blend well. Keep this dry mixture in your bathroom. You will be using this every day.






When you’re ready to apply the SECRET RECIPE, pour between a teaspoon and a tablespoon of this DRY mixture from the container into your palm.

Wet ingredient:

Liquid will be added to the dry mixture in your hand to create a paste each time you’re ready to do “The Secret.”

For liquid, you can use either:

• Colloidal Silver - safe if you still have mercury amalgam fillings, or

• Hydrogen peroxide - only if you have no metal (mercury/amalgam) fillings in your mouth, or

• Aloe Vera

Adding such products as Amazon Herb’s Una de Gato (a natural antioxidant) will help too.

Drop a bit of the liquid into the dry mixture in your palm to create a thick paste. You will learn from experience on how much of your RECIPE to use.

Again, the key items are Baking Soda, Salt, Hydrogen Peroxide (or Colloidal Silver if you have metal amalgam fillings).

a. Load a bunch of the mixture onto the soft brush. Angle the brush 45 degrees to where the tooth meets the gum (the sulcus junction).

b. Push the loaded brush as far as you can into the area where the tooth meets the gum (sulcus). Do not cause yourself pain.

c. Use a vibrating motion (very small wiggling motion) so that the bristles that are forced into the sulcus remain there as you vibrate. It’s an agitating type of motion. Do not use wide circular motions like scrubbing a floor or washing a window. Repeat this action as you move along the gum line for three to five seconds at each spot on both the cheek and tongue side. As you apply more of The SECRET mixture to the brush, be sure to continue where you left off on the gum line. Repeat this procedure until you have completed both upper and lower gum lines. Whenever necessary spit out the mixture and saliva. There is no need to rinse afterwards, unless you want to.

The soft brush is the applicator/loading instrument that is used to get the recipe into the sulcus. The recipe does the work, not the brush; the brush forces the recipe into the sulcus.

Doing the above on a gradient approach will obtain healing in the sulcus. Do it once a day until you can gradually increase to twice a day. When you are able to do it twice a day for two weeks in a row, your gums should have become very tough (this is good) and should have a pink-white color (this is also good).

The healthy gum recipe creates an environment in and around your teeth in which the harmful bacteria can’t live (they can’t stand oxygen and/or silver water). The recipe neutralizes the acid environment in the sulcus (which is created from the waste products of the bacteria). These harmful bacteria don’t like the alkaline, or neutral, environment created by the salt, baking soda, colloidal silver and/or hydrogen peroxide.

Wow! Tina, you have such a wealth of information!

I use an anti-oxidant powder, but it is a bit expensive... I am going to try this new approach!

I was using baking soda to turn my teeth white but that did not work for me. So contacted to dentist Torrance for my dental issue. He really helped me by providing teeth whitening kit. Within 2 weeks now I am happy to get best results.
