Organic Toothpaste

Although the two essential elements are inseparable bathroom and can not generally work without the other, the toothbrush and toothpaste is really the story of a history that spans hundreds of years apart from each other.

But have you ever thought that toothpaste was first before the brush teeth?

No matter which came first, the existence of both housewares conscience of humanity really shows of dental hygiene and care oral dating so many thousands of years ago.

Incredibly, as early as 5000 BC, the Egyptians have already discovered a process of regular cleaning their teeth through an abrasive composed of ashes mixed burnt eggshells, ox hooves, pumice and myrrh.

Have evidence that this mixture of ash powder is used to clean teeth, rubbing on the enamel surface with your finger, before the discovery of which served toothstick as the forerunner of the toothbrush.

A few hundred years later, the Greeks and Romans cleaning powder reformulated by the addition of abrasive crushed animal bones or shells of oysters, which were ingredients for a better efficiency in removing debris that may get lodged in between the teeth, experimentation led to the addition of coal dust and bark, and more flavoring agents to improve the flavor or even prevent bad breath.

These cleaners powder used correctly remained until around 1000, when the Persians found out about the risks of using hard abrasive to clean teeth and between early substitution substances were the lightest shells burnt gypsum and ammonia.

Other recipes include herbs aromatic, honey, mineral oils and even dried animal parts, mixed with verdigris, honey, incense and flint powder, intended to help strengthen teeth.

Then a breakthrough occurred in the 18th century with the introduction of a product called dentifrice, developed by dentists, pharmacists and doctors in Britain.

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive properties toothpaste made in China crushed, clay, earthenware and dried cuttlefish.

Later, he developed with the use of sodium bicarbonate or baking soda as a cleaner alternative and polish teeth, so in that time, the tooth cleaning of dust was a need to use more, rather than an attraction.

It was not until 1873 when the toothpaste was first mass-produced and entered into a jar and smelled good and a couple of decades later, Dr. Washington Sheffield of Connecticut invented the first toothpaste came in a collapsible tube, which later became Colgate.

Although Americans became the leader in the manufacture and marketing of toothpaste was only after World War 2, when the toothpaste became a daily way of life.

But where the toothbrush fall in the picture? Well, it all started around 3500 BC in Babylon, was first used toothpicks to clean teeth, later developments chewstick, where chewing promoted cleaning rod.

In China, about 1600 BC, the aromatic tree branches were used as a tool cleaning, where one end was chewed until it becomes brush-like and the other end is aimed at removing the remains lodged in between teeth.

It later evolved in small animal hair brushes and bristles, and discoveries later gave way to the use of nylon strong as enamel yet easy bristles that prevent damage tooth enamel.

So goes the color toothbrush and toothpaste, intriguing history, we more aware of the history behind one of our hygiene habits and routines.

Allergic to fluoride toothpaste What can I use?

A relative of mine is allergic to Fluoride Toothpaste, Is there an organic fluoride toothpaste remains effective without? And where can you find?

Fluoride is a highly reactive element which is a toxic waste product of fertilizer plants, aluminum plants and uranium enrichment. It is a neurotoxin and is carcinogenic. Some people are more sensitive to it. Rats have been affected by this chemical at low exposures than 5 parts per million in drinking water. Beings Humans are subjected to 1 part per million for drinking water, and many more times through the toothpaste. Eat a tube of toothpaste can be fatal. My recommendation is that you buy some toothpaste organic online or in local health food store. Make sure that the advertising indicates that it is free of fluorine. On the recommendation my dentist, I use 1 / 2 baking soda and 1 / 2 of salt. The bicarbonate neutralizes acids and salts effectively kill the bacteria that cause tooth decay.
