I use the little pipecleaner type of dental tools to get between teeth.

Tom's of Maine has a FF line of toothpaste. Pretty good, but, of course,

they are pricier.

Also, Dr. 's Tooth powder at http://www.herbsfirst.com that I've

found from personal experience will actually *reverse* tooth decay.

HTH!

Pratick, Toms of Maine is available at most health-food stores. It is also

available at Zehrs in my area.

Here's my method, Pratick:

Alternate brushing with plain olive oil soap (tastes better than you

think!) and baking soda flavored with a bit of peppermint essential

oil (get organic oil). I do the soap at night and the soda in the

morning.

Kiss My Face makes a plain olive oil bar soap, but the kind I get is

imported from Greece--it's green and very cheap. It MELTS tartar off

of my teeth--my dentist was very impressed as I tend to have terrible

tartar build-up.

As for the baking soda, put a cup of soda in a plastic bag and add 4

drops of essential oil (it's very concentrated). Then mix the two

together by squeezing and smooshing (that's the technical term) the

bag very well--you don't want any " hot spots " of peppermint oil.

Transfer the mixture to a jar. With the soda, I moisten my brush with

Hydrogen Peroxide.

I've heard great things about Vitality Tooth Soap

(http://chetday.com/toothsoap.shtml) but it seems pretty expensive for

soap...
