And what do YOU consider more important than your teeth?  Without teeth, you
can't eat.  If you can't eat, you can't hike.  It's as simple as that.
I, personally, consider anything involving tooth care to not only be trail
related, but absolutely fundamental to the trail experience, and I RESENT
any attempt to denegrate the importance of proper, effective, ecologically
correct, trail based dental care.

Jim, well, honestly, I consider a large number of things and people on this
earth more important than my teeth, for example, my relationship with my
husband, the health and welfare of my children, and so on.

However, the reason that I said "Please -- not the tooth cleanser wars
again!!!" is that, IIRC, we discussed toothpaste, tooth powder, baking soda,
etc., ad infinitum on this list just a couple of months ago. Now, we do tend
to discuss the same topics over and over, and that is as it should be as new
people join the list, however, this particular topic did not provide any
particularly enlightening insights, as I recall. Check out the archives,
since to you, apparently, this is obviously the most important topic on
earth.

Peace out
