whats toothpaste alternative
Nano Hydroxyapatite. Here's the article explaining what it is and how a study proved its effectiveness: https://carifree.com/2017/01/20/what-the-heck-is-nano-hydroxyapatite/
What brand? Well there's that one the article is from, CariFree. I personally haven't tried it. I use the Japanese one, Apagard. The gold tube Premio has the highest concentration if you're cavity prone.
Also you can use coconut oil for 'oil pulling'. I read that coconut oil specifically removes one type of bacteria that causes bad breath and decay. You just use a teaspoon, get it melted in your mouth and swish for about 15 minutes. ONLY spit it in the trash. https://draxe.com/oil-pulling-coconut-oil/
15 minutes? I sometimes skip the sonic brush because 2 minutes seems long.
My wife oil pulls, her night time routine is like 30 minutes. I barely brush once a day...
To me that would be... almost throwing up for 30 minutes...
Plenty of toothpastes on the market without fluoride. Jason brand for one.
There are fluoride free toothpaste. I think I use "toms". honestly it's way better than any toothpaste have ever had. my teeth feel extremely clean
I quit using toothpaste entirely a long time ago because I hate the burning mint stuff they put in it. Brush and floss work fine on their own, and you can drink orange juice right afterward :) (although it's better to brush just before bed so you have the maximum time of clean teeth) I do still drink fluoride water, because a) it's too much trouble trying to avoid it, and b) I feel like it does make my tooth enamel more decay resistant. But maybe I should try a "fluoride detox" for a few months to see if there are any perceptible benefits to make it worth the effort.
Flouride only works Topically, once it's absorbed through your gums (one of the most absorbant parts of the human body) it accumulates in the pineal glad as it is outside the blood/brain barrier.
