Homemade Toothpaste The Easy Way!

Everybody likes a pretty smile and a clean, healthy mouth, but how to go about it can be different for every person!

What I prefer is to stay away from mainstream toothpastes full of chemicals that I don't trust, made from companies that don't actually have my best interest at heart.

So, a few years ago the Yeti and I switched to all natural toothpaste which worked out really well until we moved away from the city and the price of the toothpaste felt like it sky rocketed!

So, one day after we ran out, and the thought of buying more made me cringe, I looked at a couple of ingredients we had on hand that were good for oral health and knew I had a solution.

Baking Soda and Coconut Oil

Now, the taste won't leave you with fresh minty breath unless you add peppermint oil, but if you do, I recommend a brand like Young Living or DoTerra. As far as I know, they are the only essentials safe to digest.

We have used peppermint and liked it, but we have also used thieves oil for it's antibacterial and antifungal properties. Unfortunately, we ran out of that ages ago!

Then, while visiting @thefarmerswife, she gifted us some tea tree oil and I was so grateful!

I knew I wanted to add it to our toothpaste as soon as we got home, and after using it only once, our teeth were brighter and cleaner than ever!

Here's a look at the process!

I start by adding about a cup of baking soda.

Next, I put a couple dollops of extra virgin coconut oil.

Then, I pour a two or three tablespoons of water.

Lastly, I add ten or so drops of tea tree oil!

Scrub, scrub, scrub!

Like always...
