More than likely you will see white junk underneath your fingernail. You just removed plaque(bacteria). So you can see that it does not take much to remove it. SO why not just simply use a soft toothbrush?&amp;nbsp;If you are not a fluoride advocate then why would you need to use toothpaste? For fresh breath? That only masks the issue for a short time.

Simply take about 1/5 teaspoon (1 gram), dissolve it in 1 inch of water in less than a minute, then fill up the glass and drink it daily. This takes care of all the bones, teeth, DNA, RNA and at least 30 phosphate-containing enzymes. Our bodies run on enzymes and we are hard put to lose any of them. Even the brain requires them. Phosphate also regulates body pH.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color=#000000&gt;(ref 8) Put 1 level tsp (4 g) in a glass, add 1/2 tsp Arm and Hammer baking soda, add 1 inch of water, let fizz, dilute to 8 oz and drink. The compound made here is fresh sodium ascorbate. This is about 1000 x as soluble as C, and is more reactive towards antibody and connective tissue construction and viral destruction. Thus the gums knit back to the teeth, avoiding any kind of oral surgery for "receding gums." Receding gums are nothing but gum pockets caused by toothpaste and especially fluoride, which severs all proteins because of its highly negative character. Fluoride is the smallest negative ion on earth, and consequently is the most intensely negative particle on earth. As such, fluoride breaks the positive hydrogen bonds, which hold the coils together, in proteins and enzymes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman" color=#000000&gt;(ref 10) Sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose) were found in my laboratory studies to be unable to dissolve calcium phosphate to any extent, even in hot water solution. The reason for this is that the chelation process of the sugar towards teeth is slow because of the large size of the molecule and perhaps for the particular shape of the chelate formed. Sugars are not the cause of tooth cavities to any great extent, but still it will do no harm to rinse them off the teeth after consuming candy, especially the sticky variety. The adhering barrier will prevent reenamelization.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102987" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Finally - Even Dental Association Agrees Fluoride is Bad</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Finally--Even-Dental-Association-Agrees-Fluoride-is-Bad.aspx#102986</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 19:56:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102986</guid><dc:creator>FocusatX</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;This is from Dr. Gerard Judds Book, I am trying his recommendations except for the Monosodium phosphate which is hard to find except for livestock use. It would be easy to take too much.I decided to try homeopathy cell salts, which are a low dose phosphate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the Book&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(ref 5) Reenamelization 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, which I have used for 5 years, is bar soap. Wet the brush, swipe the bar two or three times with it, then brush the teeth thoroughly and the gums gently. Rinse with water three or four times. All oils are washed off the teeth and the gums are disinfected. The bacteria are killed by the soap. The teeth are then ready for reenamelization with calcium and phosphate in the diet. The enzyme adenosine diphosphatase delivers phosphate to the enamel surface. Do not use liquid soaps. Their different composition is harmful to the protoplasm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reenamelization is necessary on a daily basis because the enamel leaches slightly with water as well as the bones over decades leading to holey bones and holey teeth even in the absence of acid attack. Without reenamelization, we could never have good teeth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(ref 6) Calcium (1.2 g if it is the only source) with vitamin D. Other required vitamin and mineral requirements of the body can be found on page 56 of GTBD. Vitamin D helps to deliver calcium to its needed site. All acid-soluble calcium compounds such as calcium carbonate or calcium citrate are suitable with D. It goes without saying that calcium is necessary in building calcium phosphate teeth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Look for next post for Phosphate and Vitamin C recomendations....I cant fit it in this post.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102986" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Finally - Even Dental Association Agrees Fluoride is Bad</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Finally--Even-Dental-Association-Agrees-Fluoride-is-Bad.aspx#102983</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 17:29:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102983</guid><dc:creator>Scard by Big Pharm</dc:creator><description>so what should we clean our teeth/gums etc. with?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Are any of the "health food" toothpastes any good?&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102983" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Finally - Even Dental Association Agrees Fluoride is Bad</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Finally--Even-Dental-Association-Agrees-Fluoride-is-Bad.aspx#102980</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 16:41:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102980</guid><dc:creator>music_203</dc:creator><description>In regard to dental care,&amp;nbsp; I have a question I hope someone can answer?&amp;nbsp; My 20 year old son has been told by his dentist that he needs his wisdom teelth out.&amp;nbsp; One has a cavity already and since he had braces when he was younger, he is told that his teeth will get crooked again if the wisdom teeth stay in.&amp;nbsp; Comments??&amp;nbsp; I know just about everyone does this but is it really necessary?&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102980" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Finally - Even Dental Association Agrees Fluoride is Bad</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/06/11/Finally--Even-Dental-Association-Agrees-Fluoride-is-Bad.aspx#102978</link><pubDate>Thu, 28 Jun 2007 15:01:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:102978</guid><dc:creator>iLLosophy</dc:creator><description>So we get a RO water filter?

&lt;p&gt;Dr. Gerard F. Judd, Professor, Chemist, &amp;amp; Researcher has a book, Good Teeth Birth to Death.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the book he states that re-enamelization of the teeth cant occur because of the ingredients in toothpaste. He recommends brushing teeth with bar soap only.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He also has recommendations for getting your teeth healthy again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His website is &lt;a href="http://gerardjudd.com/faqs.htm"&gt;http://gerardjudd.com/faqs.htm&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He has tried to tell the government about the dangers of fluoride for years and no one would listen. He worked with fluoride on the Manhattan Project and knew it was a nerve poison back then.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102975" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
