Reason #1:

Toothpaste Contains Fluoride. Fluoride is a severe biological poison. Being intensely negative, it unlatches positive hydrogen bonds in enzymes and proteins. In the USA there are mandatory warnings like this on tubes of toothpaste:

"WARNING: Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately."

This is due to lawsuits in which children were poisoned by fluoride-containing toothpaste. For instance, Keith Cantor, a little boy who lived in McMinnville, Oregon died in the dentist’s chair from ingesting ½ teaspoon of fluoride, and 3 kidney dialysis patients were killed in 1998 at the University of Chicago Medical School, when nurses used unpurified Chicago tap water for dialysis.

Reason #2:

Toothpaste Prevents Tooth Re-enamelization.

The main ingredient in toothpaste is viscous, sticky glycerine, which coats the teeth and prevents re-enamelization from nutrients in the diet. Glycerine takes over 20 rinses to be removed and leaves your teeth coated!

Sceptical? Try this simple test. Start with a clean sink and smear some of your toothpaste on the sink. Rinse it off and watch how the water beads up because of the sticky glycerine. You will have to keep rinsing and rinsing to remove it! Your teeth are similar to a porcelain sink, and your teeth are being coated every time you use toothpaste. Coated teeth cannot re-enamelize from nutrients in the diet!

Reason #3:

Toothpaste Contains Silica.

Silica, which is sand, can harm gums and is abrasive to tooth enamel.

Even ‘natural’ toothpastes contain silica and glycerine!

What Is the Solution for Healthier Teeth and Gums?

How you care for your mouth determines the health of your teeth and gums. Use soap to clean your teeth because soap is an excellent detergent, mixing insoluble oils on the tongue, inner cheek and teeth with the water and rinsing it away. Teeth that are cleaned and rinsed using bar soap are far cleaner than those cleaned with toothpaste, which contains sugar, acid, chalk, silicates (sand), fluoride, methyl benzoate (for a cool mouth feel) dyes, stabilizers, mixing agents and other contaminating chemicals.

These badly contaminate the teeth and prevent good enamelization.

Any soap won't do. The soap must be free of impurities.

Absolutely Pure Dental Soap contains NO added glycerine, synthetic sweeteners, silicates (sand), fluoride, dyes, stabilisers or other materials that can damage teeth. 

According to Dr. Gerald Judd, PhD (professor, chemist, researcher and author of ‘Good Teeth Birth To Death):

“Re-enamelisation of the teeth occurs when they are clean. All toothpastes make a barrier of glycerine on the teeth, which would require 20 rinses to get it off. A good solution for clean teeth is Dental Soap. All oils are washed off the teeth and the gums are disinfected. The bacteria are killed by the dental soap. The teeth are then ready for re-enamelisation with calcium and phosphate in the diet.”

Please note: Miessence toothpaste does not contain glycerine.
