[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 544426, member: 84"] Sounds awesome. :) I met a lady via my grandma once, she was in her 90's and had all her own teeth, no real dental work at all, and they were pretty too. My grandma who lost hers in her 40s asked her how on earth? (because they looked like dentures) She said when she was little, they were taught to "brush" with their finger and baking soda paste. She never liked brushes or toothpaste. So she'd done that all her life. Now this was when I was like 6 or 7 so I'm 48 now, you can imagine how long ago it was. In my extended family via my great aunt there are many dentist, orthodontist and surgeons. I remember them talking at family gatherings and trying to tell family members how brushing with toothpaste actually wears down the enamel because the combination is too abrasive. Braces are terrible for this too of course. Interesting. I wonder if it would be possible to find a recipe for the blend somewhere. Not that I need it anymore, but my girls would probably be interested. :) [/QUOTE]
