Let's do it when we meet up.  I'll bring my bag of fresh habaneros.  LOL!!!  One pepper... I like to see you eat one on an empty stomach. 

When Doctor Price visited the people in Switzerland he reported that their teeth were covered with green slime but had otherwise excellent teeth.
In Ayurveda most fruit is various shades of the taste sour. Sour aggrivates Pitta. Pitta is based in the stomach and when aggravated it migrates uphill as it is essentially heat (like fire) so if an upset stomach isn't noticed when eating too much fruit, then the next site it attacks is the teeth. It starts off as dental pain and in severe cases (like a friend of mine's wife, she was too stubborn to quit eating sour foods) causes such severe pain that removal of all the teeth is the only solution. OR stop eating so much fruit or sour stuff. I can't imagine being a fruitarian. Years ago I discovered that even drinking orange juice would give me cankers (mouth ulcers) so bad I could barely talk.

If you are using "Sensodyne" toothpaste you gotta give up spicy, sour foods period. Eat dairy (non-sour dairy) and other Pitta pacifying foods. Sensodyne toothpaste is essentially a local anaesthetic.

Me. I don't remember when I last brushed teeth, but it's months. They are white and clean, no fuzz or plaque on them.

Another side effect of raw fativorous ZC is that there is significantly less body odour.

Even chimps clean out stuff stuck between their teeth with twigs (although they do eat lots of fruit)--especially from trees with antibiotic properties--so I'm not sure that no teeth cleaning at all is a good idea.


I think you answered your own question for you at this time. I wouldn't consider stopping brushing unless I was getting no plaque or film at all on my teeth. Even then, I would likely use a tea tree oil toothpick.

A quote from the article where it says not to use it no more than once per week as it is so abrasive.
"Dr. Hani Saeed, a dentist and a professor at Dhamar University, believes the miswak has benefits, but can be over used. “I am against the daily use of the miswak because it can grind down the enamel of teeth,” he said. “If it is used no more than once per week, the stick is fine, but I discourage people from using it any more than that.”

“Using toothpaste and a toothbrush is more effective than the miswak,” said Dr. Saeed. “The brush can reach every where in the mouth and kill bacteria between the teeth.”

“I always clean my teeth using the miswak after every prayer during Ramadan month. It gives me a fresh and good breath, and I feel better to have clean teeth and healthy gums,” said Malika Farah, 22, student at Sana’a University"

I see them in Indian grocery stores. I never had any luck with them so I gave up.
