I do sometimes suck/chew on a clove when I'm having tooth or gum problems. I keep meaning to do it more often as a preventative, but forget when the pain or discomfort has gone.
How does your family like the homemade toothpaste? My hubby is fussy. I buy a fluoride free mint toothpaste, but he still goes and gets himself Colgate, because he says it tastes better. I think its more that it tastes like what he's used to.
I understand, so much resistance from childhood/familiarity, I grew up on good old CREST! My husband and family do not look at it as a substitute, just one of the many things we CAN control in this toxic U.S. and 1st world environment!
