Answers:
That is NOT a good idea.. There are reports of chldren dying from mothers putting liquid soap in childrens mouths ("wash your mouth out with soap").. It can be very dangerous.. Not to mention, gross! Plust soap doesn't have anything benificial to the teeth, no fluoride, no surfactant, no minerals, nothing good for the enamel or gums.. It can actually damage the gum tissue permanently.. Your sister was probably playing a prank on you to see if you would do it.. If you don't have toothpaste, I tell my patients to brush with water! The BIG GOAL for brushing is to remove plque from the teeth as it causes cavaties, gum disease, bad breath, etc..
don't do it!!!Health Question & Answer

i believe soaps contain alkalies which would be harm full to your body..
tell her to find that article and show it to you..
read it somewhere is not a good answer..
i worked for 13 years in a place that refined animal grease and tallow, which comes from dad animals.. as bad as that may sound it's the basis for face soaps and lipsticks..
ask her if she still wants to put that in her mouth..Health Question & Answer
