Following is a recipe I found somewhere on the Internet for homemade toothpaste. There are certain ingredients in commercial toothpaste like fluoride that we avoid using. That leaves shopping at the health food store and paying a bit more money for clean teeth than we care to spend :-). I have made this recipe 3 times so far and have found it to be effective (at least nobody has said otherwise :-) ). Be a little forewarned that it is pretty salty & bitter at first, but it does leave a very clean feeling in your mouth.
Please note that reader assumes all risks for trying this recipe.
2 Tablespoons Baking Soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons glycerin (*or water)
1/2 teaspoon Xylitol (optional)
15 drops of favorite cleansing essential oil (peppermint, tea tree, cinnamon, cloves, etc...)
Stir all ingredients together and store in a glass jar. Apply to small amount to toothbrush and brush as usual.
*Add just enough water to attain desired consistency.
