Salt is an ingredient that is known for its cleansing qualities. Many people are unaware that there is salt toothpaste. Salt toothpaste contains natural sodium bicarbonate which neutralises unwanted acid and breaks down plaque. Saliva is also stimulated by sodium carbonate which is a natural self cleansing method to keeping teeth clean. The saliva helps remove any residue that has been left which is also helpful to the gums, as if the residue is less it could develop into a plaque or bacteria that could cause gum disease.
The saliva is able to remove plaque and combat unwanted acids as it is alkaline; alkaline neutralises acid when mixed. Salt toothpaste is a perfectly natural and organic tooth paste, making the toothpaste environmentally and child friendly, and suitable for those with skin sensitivities.
