Clean Bright Teeth for Pennies a Day

I tried Tom's toothpaste and wasn't thrilled. I would like to avoid the regular commercial toothpastes because of saccharin and because ingredients could be micronized or nano-sized. I spoke to my dental hygenist who said to mix a little water and hydrogen peroxide with baking soda (I use Bob's Red Mill baking soda because it is mined, not derived from corn). I keep a little decorative bowl on my bathroom sink, along with a covered glass jar of the baking soda. I mix up a new batch every 2 days or so. I am also using Gel Kam, which only has three ingredients in it. This contains the flouride you need and also helps to remineralize the teeth. I have known about hydrogen peroxide and baking soda for a long time, and I have used Gel Kam before, but never thought of these as being my every day products. Give them a try!  The peroxide-baking soda formulate keeps your teeth clean and bright, and you don't have to pay for bleaching kits or toothpaste!
