The reason to avoid most regular soap as I recall is due to glycerin especially and other additives that are bad. Glycerin is bad because it coats the teeth which prevents the remineralization.
I switched to Earth Paste ... http://www.earthpaste.com/ ... myself and have been very happy. There is a product called tooth soap as well, I haven't tried it but I believe some have had good success with it. Jaxi On Sun, Oct 13, 2013 at 11:11 PM, A.
