This toothpaste soap actually started out as a custom order. After researching the 'said' benefits of using handmade soap to clean your teeth I thought I'd better give it a try for myself. I'm so glad I did. My teeth DO feel cleaner, I could actually feel the difference after my first brushing! And, I feel a lot safer using soap that I've made and with ingredients that I can actually pronounce! Although I'm going to have to get used to the taste (it is in fact soap). I feel so much better using a natural toothpaste, umm I mean teethsoap. I've already thrown my shampoo and conditioner to the wind and am very thankful for my custom toothsoap order that has opened my eyes :-)
Here's a few things I've found out about using tradional toothpaste.
Fluoride is: toxic, once used as a rat poisoning and insecticide, a pollutant made of aluminum by products, can actually cause your teeth to crumble in large doses!

After reading all this crazy stuff on toothpaste my husband, who I would NEVER in a million years think would do want to switch (on his own), has decided to toss the toothpaste back to the chemical gods!
What does my teethsoap contain?
Oils of Coconut, Palm, and Olive - saponified.
Olive Oil Infused with Cinnamon (flavor)
Peppermint Essential Oil (flavor)
Titanium Dioxide, natural teeth whitener.
Directions: Wet your toothbrush and swipe the teethsoap bar a couple of times. Brusha brusha brusha, and rinse about 3 times. Spit, don't swallow it. All done! Oh and by the way, you can wash with it too!
I'm not a doctor and make no medical claims. You can just search for 'toothpaste soap' and find a lot more info online. Thank you :-)
My annual oral check up today... Not afeard of the dentist. My teeth are in great shape.
As suspected all was well and it only cost me $285 for him to tell me that...
Now THAT's enough to make me choke...
Toothpaste is a paste or gel dentifrice used with a toothbrush as an accessory to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth. Toothpaste is used to promote oral hygiene: it serves as an abrasive that aids in removing the dental plaque and food from the teeth, assists in suppressing halitosis, and delivers active ingredients such as fluoride or xylitol to help prevent tooth and gum disease (gingivitis).[1] Most of the cleaning is achieved by the mechanical action of the toothbrush, and not by the toothpaste. Salt and Baking soda are among materials that can be substituted for commercial toothpaste. Toothpaste is not intended to be swallowed, but is generally not very harmful if accidentally swallowed in small amounts.

Every possible bodily hygiene or pampering aspect is covered - including shower cap, shoe shine sponge thingy, Q-tips, powder puffs and "intimacy," manicure, and sewing kits - everything except toothpaste. And deodorant. (This hotel even supplied a silk eye mask, a candle, roll-on "relaxing" aromatherapy oil and über hip brand lip balm. But no toothpaste. Or deodorant.)
Why? In hotels the world over this is the case. Super la dee dah bath products by the micro sized baleful, but never what you really want and need: Toothpaste. And deodorant. You can clean, primp, pamper, loofah, moisturize, trim, exfoliate and perfume every part of your body compliments of the hotel, but you wanna brush your teeth? Heh heh, that'll cost ya extra, if, if you're "lucky" the in-room mini-"bar" has toothpaste at a fair trade value price of $15, or if the hotel shop is still open when you arrive you'll pay $8+ for a tube of travel sized toothpaste. If you're not that lucky it'll cost you a trip out into a city in the middle of the night trying to find a 24-hour Walgreen's or 7-11 to procure a tube of toothpaste.
Why? Why???! Why the hotel detent on toothpaste?
Hotels go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need to look, feel and smell your best with the exception of clean teeth, fresh breath and sweat-free armpits. "Hey good lookin' traveler, yeah, you there, you handsome devil, you. What's that, you say? You left your special pampering and alluring hygiene products at home because of the TSA liquid regulations? Homeland security schmurity. We've got what you need for a night out on the town with your expense account. Shine those shoes, mend that hem, clean, condition and style those locks of sexy goodness, cleanse those pores, moisturize that skin, loofah those buns, shape those nails, and when you're ready for a little action in a town where no one knows you, make sure to pack a little protection, oh wait. Psych! You won't be needing those condoms because we're going to go out of our way to see to it that you don't brush your teeth or keep that underarm perspiration under control."
Toothpaste is a paste or gel dentifrice used to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of teeth. In some languages it is often translated as "toothcream".
I decided to take this photo to try to get Girlfriend to brush her teeth like her cousin. It didn't work.
Pepsodent was advertised for its purported properties for fighting tooth decay, attributed in advertisements to the supposed ingredient Irium. In a 1994 speech, the chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, Reed Hundt, claimed that the "Irium" mentioned in Pepsodent advertisements "didn't exist" "Irium" was another name for sodium lauryl sulfate, an ionic surfactant.
