Then And Now

We've been brushing our teeth with toothpaste for several thousand years, but as you might guess, the ingredients in today's products are a little different than in the past. 5,000 to 7,000 years ago, the Egyptians brushed with a cream made of oxen hooves ground up into ashes, myrrh (you know, like "frankincense and myrrh"), burnt egg shells, volcanic pumice and water.

In the 1800s ground charcoal was common in tooth powder. Cinnamon was also used. A recipe in the 1855 Farmer's Almanac called for myrrh, honey and green sage (mix together and use every night on wet teeth). Today, although there are dozens - maybe hundreds - of toothpastes on the market, most of them contain pretty much the same ingredients, and fortunately, they are the result of extensive scientific studies. But if they all have similar ingredients, how do you know which one to buy?

It may help you to know that a lot of the ingredients in today's toothpastes have nothing to do with actually cleaning your teeth! They make the toothpaste thicker, taste better, feel better in your mouth, foamy when you brush, and they prevent bacterial infection (so you don't have to refrigerate it). Because there is so little real difference among most toothpastes, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends toothpaste that contains fluoride and that is ADA approved.

Any toothpaste that has the ADA seal will be safe and effective; they thoroughly review lab studies and scientific data of every toothpaste they approve.

About 1/3 to 1/2 that amount - about the size of a pea, maybe a little more - is all you need. Follow the advice of the Brylcreem ads of the 1950's - "A little dab'll do ya!" - and you can stretch each tube of your favorite toothpaste twice as far.
