Homemade Natural Minty Toothpaste

       Back in the day when I visited my granny, I never understood why she made us brush our teeth with baking soda followed by a heaping dose of coconut oil to swish around in our mouths. I thought it was weird, tasted gross, and was messy. Well, little did I know, Granny knew what she was doing. 

 

 Like many commercial body products we use, commercial toothpaste is no different when it comes to chemicals. Some commercial toothpaste contains many harmful ingredients such as alcohol which is drying to the mouth. Toothpaste contains fluoride, and although it fights cavities and tooth decay, can be very toxic to the body in large doses. Commercial kinds of toothpaste also contain artificial coloring and sweeteners. Anything artificial is toxic.

So thinking back on our morning routines back in the day, I want to thank my granny. I know she is in Heaven smiling down on me cause I did learn something from her. Now as a grown adult and jr. herbalist who is limiting the toxins I am putting into my body, I would like to share my perfected version of a Homemade Minty All Natural Toothpaste. 

It keeps my teeth looking good, my breath fresh, and gums healthy! I am 43 and still got my teeth and for that, I am truly grateful. 

 Now there are some cons to using an all-natural toothpaste, for example, too much baking soda can cause sanding on the teeth which could lead to enamel damage so be mindful of that. Do not brush your teeth super hard. 

Coconut Oil- kills the bacteria that cause gum disease and cavities. It even helps prevent periodontal disease and tooth decay. 

Baking Soda- limits plaque buildup by neutralizing plaque acids. Whitens teeth.

Peppermint Oil-  fights oral pathogens and kills common bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease.

Love and take care of those teeth!

So check out this toothpaste and let me know what you think, the good and bad. Thanks for reading!💓
