The Only Toothpaste for My Kids

Lately I have been recommending a product called Tooth Soap, ever since my eldest daughter started using it.

She was diagnosed in May with adrenal insufficiency and sub-clinical hypothyroid, and one of the many after effects of her condition is a breakdown of her tooth enamel. She has joined several patient support groups, and Tooth Soap was recommended to her by many of the members.

If you have any sort of problem with your teeth, especially with sensitivity, weak enamel, or gum disease, Tooth Soap is definitely worth a try.
