Oh, wow!  This makes me wonder if tooth powder was originally more common and toothpaste a more modern thing.
Yes, it was. I know that from my parents and grandparents. During the Depression, people used salt or baking soda for tooth powder. Mom was quite poor as a child, so they didn’t go to dentists.  If a tooth got really nasty, you washed your mouth out with alcohol or witch hazel water or vinegar, then grandma pulled it with string and pliers. You just did without.

Growing up all we had was Pepsodent Tooth Powder.  They used to advertise it on radio then Tv with the jingle...You'll wonder where the yellow went, when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.

The can was shaped like this but blue.



Found a picture

So neat!  Thank you so much for sharing pictures and all!

That is my type of of dentistry!  ^^^ :cowboy:

I am very sensitive to anesthetics...  Last time I had a filling I was sick for 3 days...  

It sounds like maybe I could figure out a good recipe and make my own tooth powder but might buy some in the meantime.  Thank you so much for sharing all the wisdom and knowledge!  We are missing this SO MUCH now-a-days!

Not for me! I’d prefer the amateur dentist get me drunk or hit me with a rubber mallet. Or he’s got to be REALLY fast!

Yeah...  I have had some really bad dental experiences... 

I wasn't put asleep even when my 4 impacted wisdom teeth were taken out all at once...  😅

I don't think I have ever been put under for any dental work...  Just topical... 🤣🤣🤣
