Thanks Wilma for passing on the link about the tooth soap. I am a 2.5 year endometrial cancer survivor and have been trying to eliminate ingesting in or apply on my body synthetic chemicals, so I will most definitely check out this chemical free tooth soap. Going into immediate surgical menopause combined with detoxing from anesthesia wrecked havoc with me on all levels. Thankfully I am on the upswing now and feeling better than I have in years!!! Also, I too came across a very good natural dental care site saveyourteeth.com which outlines a very good inexpensive dental care program you may like to check out as well.
