Salt and soda on my toothbrush this morning. Haven't done that in decades, but it came to me in the night that salt and soda might help my teeth feel less scummy. And it did. Not the most pleasant of tastes, but it's not as if you can't rinse your mouth.
Salt and soda. Learned from my dad and mom. I recall we used it when we ran out of tooth paste or tooth powder. Tooth powder, what my dad preferred, I believe. Can you even buy such a thing anymore? Don't know. Haven't tried.
Mostly I use Tom's. No saccharine or formaldehyde, as in most other toothpastes. And it comes with baking soda in it, if you choose that kind. You can get it with whitener or fluoride (which has now found disfavor with the experts) with or without propolys and myrrh, or with tartar control; in spearmint, cinnamon, or, my preference, peppermint.
But today I needed to get down to basics. Salt and soda.
