I'm personally convinced that people's teeth so get bad now BECAUSE people started cleaning their teeth.


It's like your skin, if you use moisturizer and keep your skin covered and wash it a lot, your skin will be weaker than if you are constantly doing activities where the toughness of your skin becomes a factor.  (An example anyone who's ever wrestled will understand is your knees).

I think if our teeth were left alone, they'd find a way to get tough and survive, but we're slowly pussifying ourselves for "comfort" in any way possible.

Would smoking crack be classified as a "toughener"? lol.
cmon dude, it has baking soda in it.

Anyway, people in the stone age didn't live anywhere near as long as we do now so they're teeth didn't have to last as long.

Fluoride is a very harmful neuro toxin, it effects the brain most specifically in a vast number of ways, also very harmful to the kidneys and bones mostly. It is associated with a long list of diseases. Also contrary to popular belief, it does nothing to prevent cavities. It is actually bad for your teeth, and your bones.

A good homemade toothpaste is baking soda, with a tiny bit of salt, and a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide (don't add too much peroxide or it will bleach your gums for a while), so yes baking soda is an effective toothpaste. Really.. toothpaste isn't all that needed.. the act of brushing alone removes most of the plaque and whatnot.

Also, in the old days.. people used to chew on roots, and rough twigs from certain trees that contained cleansing oils in them. That had about the same effect of brushing the teeth, and was where teeth brushing originated.


Hitler gave fluoridated water to the prisoner's of war in WWII.
We've been medicating the world's drinking water and toothpaste ever since.
