It's truly good for oral hygiene, I would try this but I'm still confident with my dentist in Esteem dental care, he takes a good care of my family oral health.

I think I would try the Holy Basil before any of them. In regards to the other solutions, I am curious about the Eucalyptus or Tea Tree Oil. I hope you find a solution that appeals to your little one, and I hope it prevents future dental problems for him.

Our ancestors may have been right about gnawing on the sticks..

The following information is from http://www.eucalyptusoil.com/safety

"Home-made oral preparations containing pure eucalyptus oil are not recommended unless the measurement of the amount of eucalyptus oil used is very accurate. The highly respected and authoritative German Commission E monograph on eucalyptus oil under 'Dosage' states, for internal use, a daily dose of 0.3 to 0.6g.

It is acceptable to take eucalyptus oil orally provided the dosage is kept within this use range. It is not advisable to take eucalyptus oil over a long period (a year or more) as it may cause liver damage.

The acute oral toxicity LD50 of eucalyptus oil for rats is 2.48g/kg body weight. Evidence indicates the LD50 for humans is probably about the same. There have been no reported deaths due to the ingestion of eucalyptus oil in the past 50 years."

I will experiment for a little while, then post the most successful 'recipe'. Hugh is so helpful in providing really good feedback and suggestions on my trials of various things.

Love the information about herbs and teeth, it is so fascinating. Hope Hugh embraces the home made toothpaste, if it is a success, I would love the "recipe" .
