I found this recipe on wellnessmama.com and have used it for over a year now and have had wonderful results!! It really does strengthen your teeth and your mouth will feel so clean!
Homemade Toothpaste-from Wellness Mama
Tooth powder ingredients:
1/4 cup bentonite clay
3 Tblsp calcium powder
1 Tblsp baking soda
2 Tbls dried mint leaf or a few drips peppermint essential oil (optional)
1 Tblsp ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon to 1 Tblsp ground cloves
1 Tblsp or more xylitol powder
essential oils for taste such as peppermint, spearmint, or cinnamon (optional)
Tooth Powder Instructions:
If using dried mint leaf, process it in a blender or coffee grinder or food processor to form powder
Mix the ingredients in a bowl or pint size mason jar and store in small glass jar with a lid. We have a separate small glass jar for each family member since we dip our toothbrushes in it. Mix with a spoon or shake to incorporate ingredients. This recipe makes about 3/4 cup of tooth powder which lasts for couple of months.
*Notes: I purchased the calcium powder and xylitol powder at a local health food store. I dont use any essential oils.
I used this stuff for several months and then had a dental cleaning, the cleaning lady asked me what I was using for toothpaste as I did not have very much plaque or build up for her to scrape away, she asked me what was in the tooth powder I used!
I like to mix it all together with a spoon in a mixing bowl and then put it into a glass square container that has a lock and lock lid on it. I wet my toothbrush first and then dip it into the powder! It is amazing how fresh and clean your mouth will feel when done with this. I have a doterra toothpaste that I like to use as well, but I have been told if you use this powder at least once a day it will help prevent cavities as it puts minerals back into your teeth.
