We’ve Been Perfecting the Art of Tooth Soap® Formulations Since 2003.
Back in 1997, Dr. Gerard F. Judd (a professor and cancer and fluoride
researcher of 40 years) discovered a natural dental protocol to keep
healthy teeth and gums for life. This natural plan available to everyone
on the planet (now in your hands) started with brushing with SOAP. But
Dr. Judd wasn't the first to use or recommend soap for teeth. Soap has
been used for brushing for over 165 years. The toothpaste tube was
introduced in the 1890’s and contained soap. But the soap was removed in
1946 and never returned. From Colgate’s website: “Until after 1945,
toothpastes contained soap. After that time, soap was replaced by other
ingredients to make the paste into a smooth paste or emulsion - such as
sodium lauryl sulphate, a common ingredient in present-day toothpaste.”
We say NO to SLS at Tooth Soap®. We are about pure vegetable soap
formulations created from organic extra virgin olive oil, organic
coconut oil, essential oils, pure rock and bamboo salts and coral
calcium.
Pure soap is still the best thing to use on teeth and gums and that's
why we've spent over 15 years perfecting the art of Tooth Soap®
formulations. Enhanced with therapeutic, steam-distilled essential oils
known for their powerful antibacterial, antiviral, and antimicrobial
properties, we've now added Manuka honey from New Zealand because
studies show Manuka honey reduces plaque similar to that of
chlorhexidine (a disinfectant and antiseptic that is used for skin
disinfection before surgery and to sterilize surgical instruments. (1)
One focus of Tooth Soap® is deep cleaning of the teeth and gums
because periodontal disease is running rampant in 2018 and is correlated
with life threatening diseases such as cancer, including lung and
colorectal cancer. (2).
Oral care is more than just whitening your teeth and preventing
cavities. Plaque removal needs to be taken seriously. Just like washing
your hands with soap after using the restroom is important to keep from
spreading diseases, brushing with soap to clean off food debris, plaque
and other contaminants from the teeth and gums is necessary to maintain
overall body health.
But there is more to the story spoken of frequently in the mainstream
dental world, but not talked about so much to the general public. It’s
about the serious problem of abrasion from commercial toothpaste. Dr.
Peter E. Dawson, a world-renowned dentist who wrote the book,
“Functional Occlusion: From TMJ to Smile Design” in 2007 stated, “What
we have been calling ABFRACTION lesions are really the result of
toothpaste abuse”. (3)
If a dental patient has abfraction lesions, they may require gum
surgery to replace the lost gum tissue. This means that the oral care
product that is supposed to care for teeth is actually harming them long
term, potentially causing the need for surgical intervention down the
road.
Whenever we brush our teeth, we are either cleaning them gently or we
are wearing the enamel down just a bit. If a person brushes three times
a day that is a lot of opportunity to wear down enamel. This is why we
take abrasion seriously.
Tooth Soap® is NON-Abrasive. We brush our teeth approximately 57,000
times in our life and our teeth over time show the wear. When teeth are
tan or brownish, it’s because the lighter enamel has been worn away and
the tan colored “dentin” is showing through the thinner, translucent
enamel.
Super cleaning teeth and gums and doing it in a non-abrasive way is
not the only great thing about Tooth Soap®. The organic, economical
concentrated formulas are made the old fashioned way in small 49 pound
batches to maintain their integrity. We take oral care very seriously
and make sure everyone knows that cleaning teeth and gums meticulously
is one part of keeping healthy teeth and gums for life - the other vital
part is eating a whole food nutritious diet rich in vitamins and
minerals needed to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
We are here to answer any questions you have about natural oral care
and guarantee anyone who tries Tooth Soap® will feel a difference after
the first brushing!
