Squeezed homemade toothpaste

My memories: Toothpaste recipes have always been a huge hit, but there were some issues. It should be stored in a jar. And thanks to coconut oil, it gets really intense, especially in cold weather. This compressible homemade toothpaste version solves these problems and gives you a smoother consistency!

You can use distilled water (which significantly reduces shelf life) or use MCT oil instead. And since it’s in the tube it’s easier to share than a jar. Would you like to make it yourself? Check these Linearized toothpaste From wellness. They come in flavors such as mint, cinnamon, strawberries for the kids.

You can see in detail the ingredients and how they benefit your teeth.

• calcium – Our teeth are primarily made of calcium, so brushing them with it will help you maintain a healthy level. Dieting is also really important!
• Xylitol – This naturally sweet sugar alcohol shows many promises for dental health. Research has shown that it helps reduce plaque and bad bacteria in the mouth. It is also known to reduce the amount of cavity, which helps reinsert the cavity.
• Coconut oil – Helps to reduce bad mouth bacteria associated with causing tooth decay and periodontal disease. It may also help you breathe fresh.
• baking soda – Helps to clean and whiten teeth. It also reduces plaque and supports healthy mouth pH. I like to include it along with other ingredients as too much can cause gum irritation.
• Bentonite Clay – Although it is optional, there are many minerals that support enamel. It also helps to detoxify the mouth by adsorbing heavy metals.
• Trace minerals – Helps to further strengthen your enamel by providing more minerals you need.

Adding essential oils

These add a pleasant taste and antibacterial and antifungal properties. Be sure to use it High quality essential oils It’s safe to put in your mouth. These include cinnamon, cloves, miruru, peppermint, spearmint, sweet oranges, fennel and tea trees.

Homemade Toothpaste FAQ

Q. What is the best calcium/calcium magnesium type to use?

I have tried many types of calcium and calcium magnesium powders and got feedback from dozens of readers. The consensus is that Calcium carbonate It’s the best option. Certain types of calcium and magnesium powders can cause problems like explosive reactions.

Q. Is this okay for sensitive teeth/fillings/veneers/children?

Always check with your dentist before changing your dental routine, especially if you have dental conditions. My child and I used this, including my teeth that had non-amalgam fillings (before I learned about remineralization). All ingredients are generally considered safe for consumption, so I feel comfortable using it, but if you have any questions, please check with your dentist.

Q. What are some common responses in the first few weeks (increasing sensitivity in some people).

There was no response, but some people experience sensitivity using homemade toothpaste for the first few weeks. Especially if they have been using commercial products for a long time or have undergone recent fluoride treatments, as clays can bind toxins and extract them. This doesn’t seem to be a problem Calcium powder It appears to be resolved within a few weeks. However, if you have specific concerns about the situation, check with your overall dentist.

Q. Which is better, Xylitol vs. Stevia?

This is mainly a matter of opinion. Although some studies have shown that xylitol is extremely beneficial for oral health, it is very toxic to dogs. Be very careful to keep it out of reach of your pet! I’ll derive this birch, Non-GMO xylitol.

Q. Vodka vs. water?

This recipe works well with water, but many people use it successfully, using vodka instead to extend shelf life. MCT oil is an even better option that does not introduce water to your toothpaste. Microorganisms can begin to grow within a few days in water-based products.

Q. Why is there no glycerin?

There is some evidence that glycerin can inhibit enamel mineral absorption. This study is undoubtedly inconclusive on the subject, but it is more safely avoiding it just in case. On the individual level, after using glycerin-based toothpaste, relative teeth turned brown and returned to normal after switching to various brands.

Q. Has anyone else used this for a while, besides yourself and your family?

I’ve received dozens of emails from people who used this toothpaste and those who have had good results with my regular re-wrapped toothpaste.

Tina provided these changes:

I started adding a bit of hydrogen peroxide. It put a strain on it. I don’t use bentonite clay. Instead, use baking soda. Also add a few drops of grapefruit seed extract. There is still the fact that coconut oil is firm due to its cool temperatures.

Melinda adds:

This recipe really makes my teeth wonderful. I love it! You may need to get a freshly squeezed tube and see what it will turn out.

Q. The first few times I used this I was bleeding my gums, is this normal?

I have never experienced this personally, but I have heard it from many readers. It is probably from baking soda, which has a high pH and can irritate the gums in some cases. Some reported experiencing frustrating gums for days or up to weeks, and ultimately resolved itself. In that case, you can always reduce or eliminate baking soda.

Q. What type of container is the best for this?

I use gotoobs It is made of FDA approved silicon. They are perfect for reuse, travel and squeezing without worrying about plastic leaching in toothpaste. I’ve had one of these for over a year and it’s still getting stronger. It also does not leak, so it is used as an oil cleansing blend while traveling.
