My family used Dr. Lyon’s when I was a kid.
Still got all your choppers?
All but 2 wisdom teeth.
I have a copy of a newspaper that I inherited from my mother. It’s from the town in upstate New York where her family first settled. It’s from shortly after the end of the Civil War. Remarkably well-preserved! They really knew how to make paper back then.
Well some things never change.
Horse and buggy never killed a child. /s
Cars were the playthings of the wealthy back then. That combined with the lack of traffic laws and the often reckless driving (by modern standards) made them controversial to say the least.
Lost all their firearms in the accident, too.

Didn’t Great Britain try to put the kabosh on automobile development by passing laws requiring a person, carrying a red flag, to walk ahead of an auto, to warn people out of the way?
Dr. Lyon’s Tooth Powder was essentially Baking Soda, Salt, Xylotol, and a mint flavoring. . . The dental office I manage now recommends using straight baking soda as a means to clean your teeth instead of toothpaste. Baking has a five second kill time on dental bacteria. The salt is not required. Nor is the Xylotol, which is just an artificial sweetener.
Since the US adopted the use of toothpaste in the 1920s there has been a rapid growth in plaque related diseases among middle-age and older adults in our population. As we exported this popular dental product use to the rest of the world, and they too stopped using baking soda as a tooth cleaning product, they too started experiencing a similar rise in those same diseases.
Using Baking Soda kills the spirochete bacteria that causes such bad things over long exposure (20 years or longer) as adult onset diabetes, heart disease, peripheral artery disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. The spirochetes associated with these diseases get into your blood stream through bleeding gums which are also caused by oral bacteria.
Our main dentist, who is one of the top 100 dental implantologists in the world, calls toothpaste “handy-dandy sweetened pumice” which has little to no ability to kill bacteria. Even so-called anti-bacteria toothpaste does little in that vein, and even the Arm and Hammer Baking Soda toothpaste has little baking soda in it.
Just buy regular baking soda, put a little pile of it in your hand and dip a wet toothbrush into the pile and push it into your teeth and gums, making sure to work it down into the gum line and then keep brushing as normal. Work it in. The taste is at first not pleasant, but you soon get to like it. It freshens your breath. Brush your tongue and palate as well. Baking Soda is not poison; it works by means of crenation, the same way that pouring salt on a slug or snail causes them to suddenly bubble up, which is caused the fluids and water that is inside of the bacteria to suddenly be pulled outside of the beastie, killing it within five seconds.
We add another protocol for oral health which is once or twice a week rinsing out your mouth by swishing with Dakin’s Solution, a 24 to one mixture of water to Clorox bleach. This has a two second bacteria kill time and will get the bacteria that wears red capes and is impervious to bullets. It is also the only known substance that will dissolve dental plaque. It breaks down quickly to mere salt water so it is safe to use. . . But because of that quick degradation, you have to make it fresh for each use. Use one cap full of Clorox to 24 cap fulls of water to make the solution. It should taste like strong chlorinated swimming pool water. Swish it around and through your teeth for around twenty seconds or so, and spit it out.
Thank you for the baking soda advice. I knew you could use it to clean teeth, but I never knew the details of why it works.
I’ve heaed that Xylotol helps protect tooth enamel.
It supposedly blocks some acid action on the enamel. If so, the claim is not made, due to it being then made into a “drug” and all that implies for approvals, etc. As it is now, Xylotol is a food additive, not a drug. Make it a drug and the FDA gets involved.
