I use a muriatic acid mouthwash.

As a side benefit: no more foul language.

Will soap with added moisturizing cream make a difference?

As a side note, you'll probably want to use mint flavored toothpaste afterwards to get the horrible taste out of your mouth, which kinda defeats the purpose......

After all, we've all seen pictures of skeletons that have been unearthed after hundreds of years with teeth still intact.

Dead skeletons + no toothpaste = teeth intact.

That can only mean one thing: while avoiding toothpaste will keep your teeth in your mouth, it will kill you.......

Baking soda and hydrogen proxide.

Dr. Bronner’s castile soap was once popular toothpaste in some camps!

My hygienist is really cute. I usually eat about a half a bag of Oreo cookies right before I go in.

I brush/rinse my teeth with hydrogen peroxide. Great germ killer and mouthwash all in one. Very gentle, as well.

In 1974, a three-year old child had fluoride gel placed on his teeth. The hygienist handed him a glass of water but rather than rising out his mouth, he drank it. A few hours later, he was dead.

What he doesn't tell you is that the kid was hit by a car.

If you want to use a soap product that does not taste so much like soap, try this:

They have flavored soap chips and flavored liquid soaps with a taste that I have found much more pleasant than using plain mild soap.

Guess the "doctor" isn't interested in providing a cite to this. I swear, this reads exactly like those stupid urban legends. Even if his thesis is correct, he degrades his argument with uncited anecdotes.

I’ve seen several posts extolling the virtues of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Are there any commercially available products that combine both? If not, what is the proper mix and regimen to follow?

[SuziQ]

Judd says glycerine is present in all toothpastes and it's so sticky that it requires 27 washes to clean it off. This means that teeth remain coated with a film and cannot rebuild enamel. And if they're not clean, adenosine diphosphatase cannot provide phosphate to enamel.

Uh, don't most modern soaps have glycerin, as well? Why not just use baking soda, like they did in the old days?

[redhead]

Hydrogen peroxide straight from the bottle, and baking soda. I’ve used it for years, not one new cavity in all that time. (Of course, I AM a habitual flosser...)

Tip: Start sweetening your coffee with xylitol sugar. I buy it by the kilo at vrp.com.

It’s a synthetic sugar, and bacteria in your mouth eat it...then they die. Great for gingivitis and your breath.

Good to treat strep throat in kids, too.

Toxic to bacteria; harmless to humans.

Another tip: I wish I had discovered the wonders of Waterpik many decades ago. I would have saved a mint in dental bills. My hygienist cannot find any plaque.

[Ellendra]

Intriguing. But I’m going to be doing more research before I try that.

".........And if they're not clean, adenosine diphosphatase cannot provide phosphate to enamel."

Don't worry doc that's why I gargle with TSP and Bleach.....works wonders /s
