ReplyDeleteFor fresh breath, do as the Victorian ladies used to do, and use a silver spoon as a tongue scraper. (Bad breath often comes from bacteria that accumulates on the tongue) For an alternative to toothpaste, try brushing with Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap: lavender or rose. You only need a few drops on the toothbrush. It's non-toxic (saponified coconut and olive oils) and a frugal alternative to toothpaste! (you just have to get over the soapy feel). They also have peppermint. :)
