[pct-l] Brushing your teeth

[William A. Chavez]

Last year two thrus did a few miles with me (Hotpants and Reaper)  
from the border, very nice of them to "hold my hand" for a few  
miles.  They showed me that you can rub your teeth with a manzinita  
leaf to clean the surface of your teeth.  I would not skip brushing  
ever but it might work temporarily if you lost your brush.  Another  
temporary "fix," from a dentist friend, would be to use salt to brush  
your teeth(I haven't tried it).
