Throw away your toothpaste and never use it again. All you need is baking soda.....Flossing and brushing are far more important than toothpaste.
Sit down with a toothbrush and a glass of water.
I prefer a hard brush used with a gentle hand.
Brush, swish and swirl, brushing every tooth on all sides.
Brush for at least five full minutes.
Your mouth will feel and will be cleaner than it does with commercial chemical toothpaste.
