brushing your teeth with…soap?

A new study by Dr. Gerald F. Judd, a retired Emeritus Professor of chemistry at Purdue University, reports that  the best way to prevent cavities, protect gums and rid teeth of plaque is by using soap. Judd points that brushing with soap destroys bacteria and virus, and also removes hard plaque stuck to the bottom of the enamel. Who knew such a common household item could serve to maintain a healthy smile? 

Will you be substituting toothpaste with soap?!
