We all want to know how to have your teeth naturally, but it’s another thing. Harsh whitening strips and pastes are a no-go for me. This toothpaste recipe with charcoal is a simple, gentler way to get a better smile.

Avoid hard tooth whitening

These smooth displays with a beautiful smile can be pretty tempting, but our family avoids artificial lightening. Chemical white books can cause sensitivity, toothic writings and burns as well as permanent enamel damage. Scientists are not entirely certain how tooth bleach also works or what is full of its effects.

Evats of houses use hydrogen peroxide to remove stains and discoloration. Studies show that this may not be the best idea for dental health. Several studies show that hydrogen peroxide bleach dentin damages the tooth layer under the enamel. Weaker teeth mean a higher probability of a decrease in teeth.

Just because something is approved by the American Dental Association (ADA) does not mean that it is safe! For example, take fluoride.

A natural way to take the teeth to white teeth

I write a lot about oral health and I am fascinated by how it affects the whole body! I spent years to create natural toothpaste and oral care. I wanted something for sure so that my children didn’t make my health problems worse. It also had to help avoid bad breath and to brighten the properties.

Over the years I have experimented with various natural teeth (including turmeric). But I wanted to make a homemade toothpaste that had the same effect with fewer chaos.

While you can buy many excellent natural toothpastes (one of you really!), I use this inexpensive DIY recipe for years. (Because, 6 children!). So far it is my favorite toothpaste recipe and the cheapest. It is also the best toothpaste that I used, especially in combination with oil panels.

Natural oral care options

Some of my previous favorite recipes for healthy mouth are:

My other toothpaste recipes receive many comments on substitutions, and if certain ingredients are required. Since the other recipes use coconut oil, some people complain that the toothpaste is too difficult to use when it is cool.

This toothpaste recipe is easier and only uses the most advantageous ingredients. It is the same consistency at every temperature, works well and tastes great. Even my children like the taste and I don’t have to freak out if they swallow something.

How does the natural lightening to the toothpaste?

Natural toothpaste may not be as sweet as conventional and does not have the foaming effect. This recipe does not contain a baking powder, so it is not salty like some natural options. I add a mixture of essential oils to our toothpaste to adapt the taste. The essential oils also have antimicrobial properties that help with oral hygiene.

Essential oils for toothpaste

Not every essential oil is safe in the mouth, and some who are safe for adults are not safe for children. We also have to consider how much of every oil we use. Irritating essential oils such as cinnamon and peppermint oil should be used more economical than something like orange.

Essential oils are optional, but they really help improve the taste. Peppermint, cinnamon and clove can be too hard for small children, but my dear grapefruit or lemon really!

They not only improve the taste of the DIY toothpaste, but also have antimicrobial advantages for the health of the mouth. Here are some safe essential oils for your whitening toothpaste.

A strange way of white theet

I have found that calcium and MCT oil alone do good lightening, but there is a way to increase the brightening power. Activated carbon (AC) is one of my favorite methods to take the teeth to white teeth. At first I was pretty skeptical, but it really grown on me. AC is good at removing surface stains on tooth enamel from food such as coffee and tea.

From the research I carried out, I found that AC can safely be used with fillings and veneer and do not release minerals from the teeth. Charcoal improves the pH of the mouth and makes it alkaline to prevent cavities and gingivitis. That is why it is one of the main components in my wellness charcoal -toothpaste.

If you have concerns about using your own toothpaste with your dental work, first inquire with your dentist!

Advantages and precautionary measures of xylitol

When I add something sweet to our meals, I go natural options such as honey, maple syrup or coconut sugar. You won’t see sweeteners like Xylitol in my recipes. So why use in toothpaste?

There is indications that Xylitol benefits oral health. In particular, it helps to reduce plaque and cavities while kills bacteria. Be careful here … Xylitol, even in small quantities, can be fatal to dogs. So don’t keep your toothpaste where Fido can eat it!

The xylitol I use is a little rough, so I first guided it through the mixer. You can also use a coffee grinder. The second time I made the toothpaste, I just put all the ingredients in the blender and everything came out of it.

The mixer was difficult to clean after my experiment, but a short wiping with the paper towel helped. As soon as I got the gap, I washed my blender as usual.

MCT oil for teeth

Medium-chain triglyceride or MCT oil is my secret ingredient in this recipe. It comes from coconut or palm oil, but remains liquid at different temperatures, so it is easier to work with them. Fractional coconut oil is similar to MCT oil, but it is usually only for skin care and is not safe to eat.

It can become confusing because manufacturers sometimes use terms such as liquid coconut oil or fractionated MCT oil. Conclusion we use liquid coconut oil that corresponds high in MCTS and food quality.

How to save natural toothpaste

When I do toothpaste, every person in our family gets their own glass. This helps prevent bacteria from being exchanged back and forth, and everyone gets their favorite taste. We only immerse our toothbrushes in the glass, but an ice cream on the stem is another option. A clean ice cream on the stem can prevent microbes from growing in the toothpaste. If you use essential oils, they also have some conservative properties.

Like most of my toothpaste recipes, I like to do this in small batches because the shelf life has not been bought in the shop for so long. If your family is much smaller than mine, you can also cut the recipe in half. Make sure you set up your whitening toothpaste when you notice an off-mell or color.

The durability depends on several factors, but mine usually takes at least several weeks. If you are not with the glass, a squeeze like this is another option.
