After a couple of months of brushing my teeth every day with Perfect Prescription I have became a fun of it. I’ve only tried the soap shreds with mint flavor, both on my teeth and my 4 year old’s.

Pros: Perfect Prescription Tooth Soap is fluoride and glycerin free. I do like the fact that the ingredients are understandable and pronounceable: “soap made from saponified organic extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, palm oil and essential oil.”
After brushing with Perfect Prescription Tooth Soap I have a clean mouth sensation, very different from that “fresh mouth” feeling after using regular tooth paste. With clean I mean no residuals of the product, that I can compare to the feeling after a professional clean at the dentist’s.
They come in solid and liquid presentations, convenient for different purpose. I find the shreds to be very easy to carry in a tiny box when we’re out. On the other hand, the liquid soap may be very easy to use with infants and little toddlers that are not able to rinse their mouths by themselves.

Cons: Young kids can’t bite the shred as directed and the shred could get lost in their mouth. What I do is to dilute the soap with a drop of water while rubbing the shred to the tooth brush. Then brush as with regular tooth paste. Of course, the liquid soap could be the perfect solution for this problem.
The price is a disadvantage, but not so if you consider the benefits of having clean and healthy teeth in a cavity-prone family. Also, the bottle is supposed to last for 30 days, if you use a shred of soap three times a day. However, I find it to be too much for my mouth size, so I use about a half (ior less) of a shred for me and a tiny bit for my son. This way, for the two of us, a bottle lasts for about 2-3 months, brushing 3 times a day.
Also, the glass bottle is heavy and if you need international shipping that could turn very expensive. What I do is to order for local delivery when a relative is in the US. Also, they recently stopped charging for handling, so you only have to pay actual shipping costs.
