A whole new meaning to washing your mouth out with soap!

On Friday the 4th of Feb. Jim…a client that has an interest in alternative therapies came into the shop and told me that he read an article about using soap to brush your teeth with instead of toothpaste. Says the Dr. that wrote the article that if we rinsed our mouths out quickly we’d get rid of the acid that causes cavities to form on the teeth and that brushing with soap is more beneficial than using toothpaste that is filled with glycerin. Well…Jim says his mouth feels cleaner and that he feels there is definitely less plaque build up and he’s been doing this for a week or so. Me being me.. I’ve promised to try it for 10 days. The first day I used my bayleaf /grapefruit soap…. tasted like soap, not pleasant but nothing I can’t handle. After the second day, I decided to switch to the fennel flavored soap …seeing as how it tastes like licorice I thought I’d like it more. I suppose it’s an aquired taste! Tomorrow is day three… and I’m thinking that maybe I’m not rinsing my mouth with enough water.. stay tuned! Here’s a link to the post! http://tinyurl.com/6khapec
