  In reply to Harry of Corpus Christi:
  You can add sodium bicarbonate to your liquid soap and make a much superior cleaning paste. On the Grow Youthful page on how to prevent tooth decay you will see that sodium bicarb actually strengthens tooth enamel.
  I have been making my own toothpaste for years (using baking soda and a couple of other ingredients), and my dentist says my gums are in good health and teeth are slowly strengthening again. All damage occurred many years ago when I ate a sweet and grain-based diet and used store-bought toothpastes.
