Many store-bought toothpaste brands contain Flouride. Fluoride is a toxic chemical that links to thyroid damage as well as some additional health issues. You may be considering natural store-bought toothpastes, these to come with their issues. Some natural toothpaste in stores contain sulfites or sulfates as well as glycerin.
This natural toothpaste recipe is so easy to make and great for oral care. Simple ingredients that are possibly in your home.
Mix dry ingredients
Mix coconut oil and essential oils.
Add coconut oil mixture to dry ingredients and mix well.
Place in a sealable container. I like using recycled condiment containers so I can squeeze it out just like toothpaste.

This is awesome!! I typically use Toms of Maine Fluoride Free, and I was JUST telling my hubby that I bet we could make a better one ourselves! I have a few of the ingredients on hand, but not all of them. Where do you usually order your materials? Eek! I’m so excited to try this 🙂

Lol, I get most of my items from Amazon. The primary items are the baking soda and coconut oil.The bentonite clay is a great way to remineralize teeth that may have decay and help to whiten teeth. Activated charcoal is great for pulling toxins from the system and works great as a way to whiten teeth.
Chanelle, this is interesting. I have had patients who experienced mouth irritation from toothpaste, so need an alternative. I would recommend that people check with their dentist before trying this, just to make sure it’s appropriate for them. Have you asked any dentist friends what they think about this recipe? Thanks.

Aletha, I have had a conversation with my dentist about what I have changed and he had no concerns. I do think with anything you should always talk with a medical professional and if you are allergic to any ingredients to find a different alternative.
Pinning this and going to try it ASAP! Love this concept!

Thanks, girlie. Makes a big change in overall health as well as oral health. 🙂
Interesting idea! I’ve heard a lot about natural toothpastes, but have never tried them because I am afraid of what they taste like. Do they taste okay?

To be very honest, it does NOT taste good at all. I don’t add stevia to mine. Many recipes I have seen do. In my mind this is a good thing because it reminds me to rinse and I use a 1:2 ratio of Listerine and hydrogen peroxide and that gets rid of the yucky baking soda taste. If you are really sensitive to the taste you can add 2-3 drops of stevia and it should help. I must say though, since using the more natural toothpaste with the essential oils my dental visits have been way more positive and my gum health has improve immensely. So, 5 minutes of yuck is worth less time in the dentist chair for me. 😉
I’ve read a lot recently about activated charcoal. I have started to use salt toothpaste by weleda…looking for a natural solution and I love it so far!

Activated charcoal has many benefits. I use it to brighten my teeth. Here is a link to the post if you would like to check it out.
I love my homemade tooth powder. I wouldn’t go back to even the true natural toothpastes again! 🙂
Yours sounds great, but I’m curious about the coconut oil, do you need to warm you paste so you can use it?

I keep mine in squeezable container and run it under hot water before using during the winter months. In the summer, the consistency is perfect for squeezing.
haven’t even thought of this one – what a great idea! 🙂

Thanks, Andi.
We use this recipe too, but we use OnGuard instead of those three oils.

Nice, did you create your own recipe or did you find it somewhere. I love my OnGaurd. The clove in the OnGaurd is great. I may try that next time, when I run out. 🙂
I have never made my own toothpaste. This looks interesting! When I was little and would forget my toothpaste, my grandma would always have me brush with baking soda. She only had denture cream! Ha! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

I remember brushing with baking soda from time to time as a little girl too. 🙂
