Tooth Soap-Cool Kind Of Clean For Teeth!

When I think of "soap," I generally think of a solid or liquid cleanser that you use to wash your skin, or clothes, or inanimate objects. I don't think of soap as something I'd want to put in my mouth. In fact, that used to be the ultimate punishment, having your mouth washed out with soap for saying something "naughty!"

I was a bit shocked, therefore, to receive a soap for teeth! That's right, Tooth Soap by Vitality Products, Inc. It comes in liquid (glass bottle with dropper) or solid Shreds (tiny shreds of a solid, waxy substance in a glass jar). It cleans teeth and gums, removing oils and other contaminants from the teeth so that teeth can "re-mineralize" from nutrients in the diet. When you put the "soap" in your mouth and start brushing your teeth with a wet toothbrush, it becomes quite foamy, allowing you to brush your teeth and gums.

According to the Tooth Soap web site, areas of decay in the tooth structure are caused by the calcium and phosphate ions leaving the tooth. The acids and toxic waste products leach these minerals right out of the tooth and they go into the saliva (which normally has high concentrations of calcium and phosphorous in a healthy person with a healthy diet). When these calcium deposits leave the tooth structure and they're in the saliva. When a cavity begins to form, some of the calcium and phosphorus ions are eliminated, but some are re-deposited. If calcium and phosphorus are eliminated faster than they're being re-deposited, the cavity, grows. However, if calcium and phosphorus are being deposited faster than they're being leached out of the tooth, that is a good thing!

Confused? I was, at bit. While the Tooth Soap® web site has not been expertly written, I did get the idea that Tooth Soap helps to keep your teeth and gums, healthy, without a lot of chemicals and other ingredients that can be harsh on skin, teeth and gums. Tooth Soap liquid, for example, contains organic RAW honey and organic natural flavoring contains saponified organic extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil, filtered water, organic raw honey and organic natural flavoring. The company doeesn't add SLS (Sodium lauryl sulfate, often used in industrial products including engine degreasers, floor cleaners, and car wash soaps; as well as in household products such as toothpastes, shampoos, shaving foams, some and even bubble baths. It also doesn't include glycerin, stabilizers, preservatives, silicates, fluoride or other materials than can damage teeth. The lack of preservatives means that each bottle or jar of Tooth Soap has a shelf life of about 12 months from the "made date" on the bottle, and each jar of Tooth Shreds is best used in three months from the date you open it.

Many toothpastes on the market not only have ingredients that can irritate your teeth and gums, they often have a very strong taste that not everyone loves. While most of us are used to flavoring in our tooth cleansing products, Tooth Soap's scent and flavoring is very subtle. As the soap foams in your mouth, you can taste a bit of whatever flavor you've tried, but it isn't overpowering...it's really quite pleasant. The company uses wild-crafted or organic essential oils such as: peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon bark, citrus and ginger.

Another thing that Tooth Soap doesn't have is Flouride. The Tooth Soap web site has a fair amount of information (IN LARGE CAP LETTERS) about how Flouride is a "severe biological poision" and how bad it is for you. This bothers me. I'm not a dentist, but Flouride has been associated with the prevention of cavities for a long time. On the other hand, where I live, Flouride is already in the water I drink. As an adult, I think that's fine for me, but I'd consult a dentist before giving my children Tooth Soap.

A bottle or jar of Tooth Soap should last an average adult about two months, but at $24.95 per bottle or jar of Tooth Soap, it's not inexpensive. However, if you want to try it, the company has a 90 day no-hassle, no-questions-asked, 100% product refund policy as described on their website.

All this aside, I have discovered that I really prefer the Tooth Soap to any other tooth cleanser I have tried. I've been using just this product for the past few weeks. It's a bit wacky to use, but I think I'm hooked on it! I like the soft taste and the pleasant foamy sensation. More importantly I like the way my teeth and gums feel clean, but not tingly and I can brush longer without "gagging" on the over-the-top taste of regular toothpaste.
