only problem ive found with those homemade toothpaste recipes are they all require baking soda! and how the fk are we gonna make that once it runs out??

[Tigs]

instead of baking soda you use chalk

[Hrusai]

hmmm, didnt know that ...apparently wood charcoal is another good addition, or you can just use that on its own

[Tigs]

anything thats abrasive is an alternative such as salt even sand at a push

Abrasive? Would that not take the enamel off your teeth?

Even your normal shop bought toothypeg whitening toothpaste is based on abrasion, your either scrubbing the muck off your teeth with microscopically fine abrasive, or your burning the stains off along with the enamal with peroxide based tooth whitening pastes. OR BOTH in the same tube, and if you get one with added flouride you may be damaging your liver and kidneys.

When you go to the dentist for a check up and he says " You have a bit of placque build up and staining" then he romoves it with a high speed tool, that tool is dipped in grinding abrasive paste.

well the new generations of toothpaste are better, they prevent plaque build up in the first place ...but thats not exactly gonna be helpful for survival xD
