My recipe for toothpaste was always a great success, but there were some problems. It has to be kept in a glass. And thanks to the coconut oil, it can get very hard, especially in colder weather. This squeezable homemade toothpaste version solves these problems and gives you a smoother consistency!

You can use distilled water (which can be shortened considerably) or instead MCT oil can use. And since it is in a tube, it is easier to share than a glass. Do you not feel like making your own? Take a look at this remineralization of toothpastes of Wellnesse. They come in flavors such as mint, cinnamon and strawberry for the children.

Quietable homemade toothpaste

Here is a closer look at the ingredients and how they benefit their teeth.

• calcium – Our teeth mostly consist of calcium. Therefore, puree helps us to maintain healthy values. Diet is also very important!
• Xylitol – This of course sweet sugar alcohol is promising for dental health. Studies show that it can help to reduce plaque and bad bacteria in the mouth. It is also known to reduce the amount of cavities and can help to remember cavities.
• Coconut oil – helps to reduce poor bacteria in the mouth associated with the disintegration of tooth and gum diseases. It can also help with fresher breath.
• baking powder – Gently clean your teeth and helps white. It can also reduce the badge and support a healthy mouth value. Too much can cause rubber raps, which is why I like to include it together with other ingredients.
• Bentonite tone – Optional, but has many minerals to support enamel. It also helps to detoxify your mouth by adsing heavy metals.
• Trace minerals – helps to further strengthen the enamel by providing more the minerals it needs.

Add essential oils

These give a pleasant taste as well as antibacterial and antifungal properties. Be sure to use high -quality essential oils that can get into your mouth safely. This includes cinnamon, clove, myrrh, peppermint, spearmint, sweet orange, fennel and tea tree. Some oils are more irritating than others (such as cinnamon and carnation), so you don’t need that much if you use them.

Homemade toothpaste -faqs

Question: What is the best type of calcium/calcium magnesium?

I tried many types of calcium and calcium magnesium powder and received feedback from dozens of readers. The consensus is that calcium carbonate is the best option. Certain types of calcium and magnesium powders can cause problems … like explosive reactions.

Question: Is that okay for sensitive teeth/fillings/veneers/children/etc?

Always ask a dentist before changing a tooth routine, especially if you have dental conditions. My children and I both used this, also on my teeth that some non-amalgam fillings have (before I knew about the memory). Since all ingredients are generally considered safe for consumption, I feel comfortable when I use it, but inquire with your dentist if you have doubts.

Question: What are some frequent reactions in the first few weeks (increased sensitivity for some)?

I had no reactions, but it seems that some people experience sensitivity with homemade toothpaste in the first few weeks. Especially if you have been using commercial products for a long time or have had the latest fluoride treatments because the tone can bind and pull out toxins. This seems to be a problem with calcium powder less and to break away within a few weeks. However, contact a holistic dentist if you have specific concerns about your situation.

Q. Xylitol against Stevia, what is better?

This is largely a question of opinion. There are studies that show that xylitol is very advantageous for oral health, but is very poisonous for dogs. Be very careful to keep it out of reach from pets! I use this non-GMO-Xylitol derived from birch.

F. vodka against water?

This recipe works well with water, but many people have successfully used vodka in its place to extend the durability. MCT oil is an even better option that does not insert water into the toothpaste. Microbes can grow in water -based products within a few days.

Question: Why not a glycerin?

There are some indications that glycerin can inhibit the mineral absorption on enamel. While research on this topic is definitely not conclusive, I feel safer if I don’t avoid it in the event of a case. On a personal level, I saw how the teeth of relatives become brown after using toothpaste on a glycerin basis and are normal again after switching to different brands.

Question: Have others used it for some time?

I received dozens of e -mails from people who used this toothpaste or my regular memory toothpaste with good results.

Tina offered the following changes:

I started adding a little hydrogen peroxide. That made it quietable. I don’t use the bentonite tone. Instead, I use baking powder. I also add a few drops of grapefruit. There is still the fact that coconut oil is firmer at cooler temperatures.

Melinda adds:

This recipe makes my teeth look really fantastic and feel fantastic. I love it! Possibly a squeakable pipe must get and see how it works.

Question: I had gums in the first time I used it. Is that normal?

I didn’t experience it personally, but heard from many readers who did it. It is probably from the baking powder that has a high pH value and can irritate the gums in some cases. Some reported over a few days or up to a few weeks, which had finally appealed for a few days or up to a few weeks. You can reduce or omit the baking powder at any time if this is the case.

Question: Which type of container is best for this?

I use Gotoobs that are manufactured with FDA enclosed silicone. They are great to use, travel and squeeze again without taking care of plastic clamps in the toothpaste. I have one of them and for over a year and it is still strong. I also use them for my oil cleaning mixture when they don’t leak.
