How many of you brush your teeth with butter and clay? I've tried it with butter and clay, butter and baking soda, and plain soap with and without clay and/or baking soda. Adding minerals does seem to whiten the enamel, especially after going a long period with only using soap.

I use baking soda and regular toothpaste when I haven't the time to get hold of baking soda.

Back in the day I used to brush, but put nothing on the toothbrush.
I don't mind if teeth are yellow.

If I do brush my teeth, it is with just a brush and nothing else. I used to use hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, but found it not to really be necessary.
I usually just don't brush my teeth, and my breath is fine unless I've gone off the diet

I usually brush my teeth with either water or some organic soap.
I discovered the harm of flouride way many years ago and do not buy the commercial toothpastes.

 I've tried butter and clay, and I like it. It gets my teeth the cleanest and so sleekly smooth. My teeth hadn't felt so smooth for a while before I started RAF. Eating raw whole eggs generally can clean my teeth too sometimes. It's the whites I think, but I wouldn't want to eat them alone  . I've tried baking soda, toothsoap, Bronner's, peroxide, plain water. Plain water worked a lot better for me than SA(D) toothpaste. I started that when I was a teenager. I needed it too.  Baking soda tastes like artificial salt or something, I dislike that too much. |

I believed all the hoopla about toothsoap but it never seemed to make much of a difference. It did make my teath darker. You'd have thought that I drank coffee, tea, and smoked all day long!
Adding bicabonate of soda made a little differnce but adding clay made quite a bit of difference. To add to that, I've found butter and clay the best! The raw-vegan-induced enamel rot has gotten lighter as well as the rest of my teeth. The spots that disintigrated haven't come back but the enamel along the gumline hasn't given me any problems what-so-ever! My teeth feel and look stronger.
Anyone have a Raw Paleo substitute for butter? No offence to Primal Dieters.

I either use nothing ( a little water...) or baking soda. I have a sister who uses sea salt, and another sibling who uses Himalayan salt (not much difference). Raw Paleo substitute for butter? Maybe making it from human milk  |

Hi there, I use dental blotting and oil pulling- no toothpaste, brushing or flossing.

I've heard you can whiten teeth with coconut oil. Let coconut oil sit in your mouth for 15 or so mins, and then spit; it also helps to remove toxins. I tried it once w/o much effect, but I would think if you did it once a day, it might work. Anyone tried this?
Also, while we're at it, for bathing I lather up w/ coconut oil, and then hop in a hot shower. I figure it should bring the blood circulating to the skin, where the oil should help toxins to transpire out, and maybe help protect me from various chemicals in the water (of which there are many in Vegas). After a few minuites of rinsing, I'll then take orange/lemon/lime and squeeze over my whole body and hair. It leaves me smelling like citrus for the rest of the day. Strong citrus also seems to soften my hair. Be careful though, if you use lemon/lime too often and too much on the armpits, it may start to sting after a few weeks.
