oral health, , children and tooth paste with SLS


For decades most tooth paste manufacturers have used sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in their tooth paste . it is added because SLS makes more froth that help dissolve plaque.
however SLS has side effects which are very serious especially when swallowed .
the health of young children can be seriously affected by such toothpaste.

it is best to use fresh "Datun" , twigs from neem or other trees ,
if that is not practical, use tooth-poweder 
and if that is not possible then only one should use toothpaste, and in such cases it is best to avoid tooth paste that contains SLS.
SLS is blamed for everything from ulcers to cancer , some of these claims may be exaggerated however one thing is clear : SLS is harmful and it should be avoided.
