Salt verdict Comments By: Melodie I tried brushing my teeth with salt and one of my front teeth came out, how dare you spread lies like that, salt damages and removes teeth guys!   war Comments By: ami In the war people used salt instead of toothpaste coz it was rationed or something. It can't really make your teeth fall out or can it? TipKing says: Salt will not make your teeth fall out. However, over brushing, being too hard with the brush and having a loose tooth will make your teeth fall out. Salt and baking soda are mild abrasives and that is a fact. ALL toothpastes contain mild abrasives that is what ,make them clean. In fact many contain baking soda. If you over brush with ANY toothpaste you will wear down the enamel and this leads to decay, sensitivity, preceding gums and so on. Through life there are hazards all around us and if we do things too much like eat too many burgers, chicken, sugar, candy we will die. You see no warning signs on a marshmallow to say this will kill you but if you eat 100 packets everyday you will be very ill. So thank you for coming in on this and a little salt is fine to clean your teeth with. Tastes horrid but used in moderation will not harm you.   salt makes teeth strong! Comments By: anon my grandfather used salt to wash his teeth since he was a child till now.. even my grandfather is 65 his teeth remain strong!!!   WARNING Comments By: john Oh my Gosh, I have lost 3 of my front teeth because of salt guys. Why did you tell me to do this guys?   What If? Comments By: Andrea what if u just gargol the salt instead of brushing?? i used to gargol salt for lil sores i had on my tounge for bitting my tounge,and nothing happened.Cant the salt still clean ur teeth without,overbrushing cuz u wont even be brushing...????...   well, john Comments By: Alicia if you lost 3 teeth why didn't you stop at one?? duh!   Baking soda Comments By: Peter Is baking soda can eat through teeth. So is it safe fof using everyday. Thanks   Salt makes you loose your teeth? No!!!!! Comments By: Kelly John- I think you just may have some bad teeth, cause salt does not make you loose your teeth, not brushing well or neglect does... Make sure to get your cleanings @ your Dentist every 3-6 months.   agreed man made chamicals = tooth decay Comments By: perfect smile wooooow people, stop with all the brushing, once per 2 days is by far enough, instead of using a brush try a wet cloth and wipe your teeth clean using tooth paste on the cloth instead, it still cleans and freshens but doesnt eat away those vital layers of enamal, i mean for gods sake, never trust a dentist, like ever, they get paid for keeping you coming back for more and more, they arnt like doctors as doctors dont get paid per customer. They also cannot be trusted when it comes to advice of certain pastes and cleaners, as most of them are backed by certain companies and tend to push that brand. When it comes to tooth care i recomend you cut out that chemical crap you eat and drink, and stick to 100% natural food, that will reduce the effect on your teetch, clean a wet cloth, maybe a bit of tooth paste now and then, believe me you will be smileing all the time withing weeks, and not only that you will feel the best you have ever felt.   Really baffled Comments By: Virginia Hey.do the banana peels thingy harm our teeth and gums too?? I hope this comment is not ignored. :( TipKing says: I cannot see the banana doing any harm   keep on smiling :D Comments By: lisa I agree with you. acid is not good for anyone. acid,citric acid,found in a lot of juices,soda and sometimes chewing gum. I can't get away from some juices, I drink it with a straw. Once I'm done I rinse out with water or mouthwash. Be sure that the little ones are doing a good job brushing. I see lots of kids with yellow crooked teeth. regular 6 months cleaning.   salt is bad!!! Comments By: Emma =] look dont listen to people who say salt is good for brushing teeth with its not!!! salt erodes teeth, listen to the people who cemmented on how their teeth fell out, dont be stupid people :) i havent used salt and theres no way i will =]   question? Comments By: Ruben umm...... one of the tips says somthing about using bannana peels. will that mess up ur teeth aswell?   if yoy stopped Comments By: Mustafa durr, why didn't you stop when one of your teeth fell out and why did you carry on till three fell out. talk about dum and stupid   lets try Comments By: tweety anyhow i wont take the tip of salt. its not goos anywwy. it wud be good if we all brush our teethtwice oe thrice a day. maybe tht may help   Scrubbing? Comments By: Shyla Why are you scrubbing your teeth as if you're scrubbing a greasy pot? You do NOT need to scrub teeth so hard. In fact, it's recommended to use a soft bristle tooth brush to brush, you brush in circular motions, twice/thrice daily, floss and rinse with mouthwash, and there you go. There is no NEED to scrub your teeth unless you ate deisel fuel. Baking soda and salt are mild abrasions and will take enamel off teeth if used too often and too hard. Be gentle! It's your mouth, not your feet.   teeth Comments By: craig i think everyone should have to have their teeth removed by law. then all the teeth could be used to create random things such as dentures and that!!!   Hey under me Comments By: CaptainObvious Are you 9 years old? Maybe thats the reason your teeth just suddenly fell out. After one brush. DUURR?!?   bicarbinate and soda Comments By: Megaan if you use bicarbonate and sode regulary, such as more than twice a week, thats when it will take effect such as losing teeth, if its used once a week, or if your teeth are sensitive/weak, try once every 2 weeks or possibley 3, depends on your teeth ! then you won't have any problems.   MY TETH! Comments By: Andrea on saturday last week i had i wobbely tooth and then it came out it was my last tooth and suddenlly when i got hold of it and pulled it out!Now my dad has black teeth so guys look after your teeth and then you dont have to go to the dentist?   UhmÒ.Ó Comments By: ^.^ i dnt no if salt is good... but ill try the banana   toothpastes contain salt Comments By: awsedrf brushing your teeth with salt is fine. I hope all of you realize that toothpastes contain salts. Fluoride is actually a salt and if your teeth haven't fallen out after brushing with fluoride toothpastes, then by no means should they fall out after using regular salt. Don't listen to the people with the falling-out-teeth comments, their just trying to be funny. The down side is the taste but it helps   Truth~~~!~~~ Comments By: Michael.C.B.S First of all never trust a dentist i went to have a filling and the dentist said he was going to clean the back of my teeth top and bottom i said ok then a day later my front tooth came loose about a week later still very loose i pushed it back up into my gum and its steady now..i used lots of different toothpaste's and nothing really seems to work my teeth go white(r) for a couple days then the dullness of yellow comes creeping back...a good tip to whiter teeth. 1)dont drink beer/liqure 2)dont smoke 3)eat healthy 4)brush once in the morning once and night 5)close you mouth when walking down the street or into work keep your mouth closed as much as possible theres chemicals in the air witch actually eroad your teeth/skin/hair cloths etc..hense "wear&tear" expression...im going to try all of this for the next 1month to see results hopfully...and using salt etc..i dont know but i can only imagine its bad for your teeth aswell as you diet..   Whiter teeth Comments By: Lucyy the best way to get the whitest teeth is brushing and flossin wice a day and once a month do a quick rince with hydrogen peroxide or use whitening strips ONCE A MONTH!!! you can damage your teeth if you do any more. .
