I was recently given as a "present" some mouthwash-toothpaste called Medi-dent. The lady who gave it to me is kind of bizarre and she strongly believes in the occult and the like. In short, I don't trust her judgement when she tells me that this toothpaste is a "Special, special, miracle toothpaste". It comes in a small one oz. cup much like cream in a restaurant. There are 3 ingredients -- cinnamon, natural color, and stabilized chlorine. On the label, it says "Harmful if swallowed". Does anyone know if it is indeed safe to brush your teeth with chlorine? As I am a boarder in her home, I don't want to outrightly reject her "gift" as I would if I didn't have to live with her. So reply to me by mail if you know if this stuff is safe or not. Does it eat away your teeth? I wish I knew. Steve Silberberg
