- Brushing your teeth requires more than just cleaning and polishing. A good toothpaste will also work to add needed minerals to your teeth and that is where eggshells come in! Eggshell toothpaste is easy to make and provides a toothpaste that cleans, polishes and remineralizes and in this video I show you how to make it!

I made it and I've been using it for a couple of weeks now. The texture is a bit like wet cement and takes some getting used to, but it works! After 1 week the tea and coffee stains had nearly vanished. Can't say the same for most of those store bought "whitening" toothpastes 🙄
I'm so glad it has helped you! I agree that it does take some getting used to with the texture. :) Thank you!
What was the texture like for your paste? Can you explain it in a very detailed way. I feel that mine was grainy eventhough it was finely ground (I mean ground multiple times).
I’m not sure if the graininess is normal. Today was my first day and I’m going to try bring the other half I made better.
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
Don't remove the membrane!
Egg-shell membrane has protein, fat, collagen, silica, amino acids, glycoprotein, proteoglycan, moisture.
I Agree!! Do NOT remove the membrane
I’m glad it’s best not too. That would be a hassel!!
I'm eating membrane😅😁 and shells😂
I'm accustomed to homemade toothpaste and won't have a problem with a different texture. Can't wait to try this for my remaining formerly beautifully teeth which are falling apart due to medication.
Chicory Girl you're on it! Who'd a thought eggshells could make a great toothpaste, thank you for sharing, 👍and Bloopers at the end were totally hilarious!🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the bloopers! Catching a rubber egg while brushing my teeth was definitely a little harder than I expected! 😂😂
*i am totally hooked on this paste!*
*its the 3rd part of my am oral routine (1st chewing black sesame seeds, 2nd coconut oil pulling, & then this paste. 4th is dr berg's biofilm destroyer!).*
*i leave the bathroom with the cleanest mouth ive ever had & felt in my life. my teeth feel polished but not abraded. the clay is magic. its been almost 2 weeks & there are changes happening for the good!*
*my only complaint is it just got hot here in Jersey.. & its just gonna get hotter (& more humid...ugh) over the next few months. & the coconut oil has melted. so NOW its runnier & thinner than id like. its changed from when the oil was semi solid. so trying to find a spot to keep...*
*but great stuff! my most sensitive tooth is already showing some improvement.*
Yes, the warm weather definitely makes it a bit runny. We are trying to keep it in the coolest spots we can too! I'm really glad you are enjoying the toothpaste though!
Put it in the fridge
Nice way to explain.God bless u
I have been using home made egg shell powder as a calcium supplement. Keen to try this but just wondering if you have the same problem with making egg shell powder as I do. Its very abrasive in my blender and in making my first small batch it pretty much ground the container from a nice clear to a matt finish. What worries me is all this toxic plastic going into the mix. Are the coffee ginders plastic or glass? I dont know as I have never owned one but I would check inside your grinder and make sure you not having the same problem. Any advise will be helpful thanks :)
Hello! That is definitely a valid concern! The coffee grinder I have is partially metal and partially plastic. While it has given a slightly matte finish to the plastic lid, it doesn't seem to have actually scratched or ground down the plastic. It seems to be more of a powdery film. I know you can get glass blenders but not sure on glass coffee grinders. Another option that might be good is a ceramic burr grinder. These are usually manual but would still be easier than grinding them down in a mortar and pestle. I think you can even get ones that screw onto a canning jar fairly inexpensively. I hope that helps answer your question and give some options! Thank you!
Facts
Love this video. I’ve seen recipes that include ‘activated coconut charcoal’ as well. Have you heard of this ingredient, and if so how much would you add to this recipe?
Thank you! I'm guessing what you are thinking of is activated charcoal powder. I have heard of adding this into toothpaste as it has been shown to be helpful in whitening teeth. I would just add in a teaspoon or two and then increase the coconut oil to still get the pasty consistency desired. I hope that helps!
Great video! I saw elsewhere you could add himalayan sea salt as it’s a bacteria killer which binds to contaminants. I know you don’t use it in this recipe but any guess as to how much you could add without making it taste bad for use?
Thank you! I have heard of adding sea salt in but have not tried it myself. If I were to try that I would definitely make sure it is a super fine grain. Then I would probably just start with a really small amount, like maybe 1/4-1/2 teaspoon and see how that works. I always figure that I can add in more the next time I make a batch if it wasn't enough, but I would hate to make a whole batch that I have to throw away because I used too much! You could also experiment by mixing up all the dry ingredients with a smaller amount of salt and then just take a little scoop out and mix that with the coconut oil to try a sample. That way you could see if that is enough before mixing it into a paste and could add more into the powder if it needs it. Sorry I don't have an exact measurement, but that is how I would experiment with it. I hope that helps!
@@chicorygirlwellness that’s helpful thank you. Also how many eggs shells did you use in this example if you can remember? Ordered all the products just need to know how many eggs i have to eat 😂
@H C That is a really good question! I should have kept track of that. :) I'm going to guess I probably do about 2 dozen eggs for one recipe. I tend to make a bunch of recipes at once since my whole family uses it so that is just a guess, but hopefully that is close!
Hey there, I’m excited to try this. I’m just wondering if this is safe for my baby whenever her teeth come in? I know you said to use it on your children. I figure it would be better than store-bought toothpaste considering it’s free of the unnecessary chemicals.
Hello! I have not personally used it on a baby, but as far as the ingredients go, I would feel comfortable using it on a younger child. My only hesitation would be that it can be a little difficult to rinse out of the mouth so a little one who can't swish water very well might not appreciate it much. My kiddos do all use it, but they are also a bit older and able to rinse out their mouths really well. That being said, if it were me, I would be tempted to make it a little on the thin side and try it as I would definitely feel it would be a better option than the chemical toothpastes. I hope that helps!
Hi! Really loved the explanation. Quick question if you don't mind: where does one acquire food grade essential oils? Everything I'm finding says "not for use internally".
Hello! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The way I understand it is that most essential oils are either marked "for external use" or as a "supplement" or "dietary" oil and the latter are the food grade oils. I personally have only used the Young Living Vitality line of oils as they are the only ones I've seen marked as "dietary supplements". There may be others, but I definitely really like the quality of theirs. I believe though that any of those labels (dietary, supplement, food grade) are supposed to be safe for internal use. For any brand marked for internal use I would definitely check the general practices of the company and their production quality too just to make sure they avoid harmful chemicals. Thank you for watching and I hope that helps!
Why do you need to remove the membrane?
Some people say that the membrane can be harder to get fully dried out and can then rot and that it might not grind into powder as well. I have seen some people leave the membrane on especially if using the eggshells for other things such as in the garden. It may work either way, but I personally haven't tried leaving the membrane on as I didn't want to risk my toothpaste going bad. I hope that helps!
@@chicorygirlwellness You are completely right. Takes forever to get the membranes "dry enough". They continue to "connect the shells" after the shells are ready, so it gets annoying, and I don't like to over process the shells...if that makes sense.
I also heard somewhere that baking is better than boiling (because the water takes away nutrients), but STEAMING is best. I've not steamed yet. I've done the first two methods.
Finally, sometimes, i feel that the fineness of the powder is not ok with me, so i use a cloth sieve to sift and get the finest powders.
Thanks so much for this video. :)
@@hyacinthdibley2420 Thank you for all the thoughts! Yes, that does make sense about not over processing as it is definitely good to keep all the good minerals in the shells.
I like the powder to be really fine too. Thankfully it seems to get fine enough for me with the coffee grinder, but when I first started making this I used a mortar and pestle. That was definitely too chunky for me. I didn't think to sift it, but that would probably have helped!
Thank you! :)
*you dont need to. in fact you shouldnt. i also dont wash the shells... ever (they go right into a gallon ziploc in the freezer to save them up). that membrane and any remaining egg white in the shell are full of concentrated minerals (besides calcium).*
*when you dry the shells in the oven, the membranes as well as any egg white residue will dry out just like the shells do... and it will all be sterilized.*
*then just crush & use!*
*(ive seen people go through the effort of boiling them 1st to sterilize them, then putting them into the oven to dry out. why 2 steps? so silly!)*
*ps... this is a great remineralizing toothpaste recipe!*
@@FranklySpeaking. I don't want to leave the poop on there - no thanks, lol. I will say I did leave the membrane, and so far my powder and paste has been fine. My teeth are stain free now, and the eggshell has cut down on brushing time. I used to brush my teeth forever it seemed like to get them clean.
Have you heard anything about adding egg shells?
can i use seashells instead of eggshells?
I'm not sure on that! I have never heard of using seashells instead so am not sure if that would be a good alternative. Sorry I can't help more with that question!
Number of eggs/amount of calcium powder anyone know?
Hello! If you go to minute 2:49 it has the recipe for the toothpaste itself and gives all of the measurements. I use about 8 Tablespoons of eggshell/calcium powder per recipe. I need to count how many eggs I use for each batch, but I would say it is probably around 2 dozen. I hope that helps!
@@chicorygirlwellness Thank you
@@helenholdsworth6407 you are welcome!
i am non english speaker can u give me list of ingridients i am having problem to understand your accent
Absolutely! It is 8 Tablespoons of eggshell powder, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons bentonite clay, 2-3 Tablespoons of coconut oil and 10-15 drops of essential oils if you want them. The amount of coconut oil varies sometimes based on how firm or soft of a texture you would like your toothpaste, but 2-3 Tablespoons is how much I typically use. I hope that helps!
@@chicorygirlwellness Thank you so much you are so generous☺
@@vaibhavnimkar4512 you are welcome!
Does it hurt your teeth…?
Do you mean does it hurt while brushing? I have never felt discomfort with it. I think it feels like just a soft polishing.
@@chicorygirlwellnessI made the powder but I’m not sure how fine the powder can actually get. When I added coconut oil I could feel the graininess (although the eggshells were FINELY ground to powder) and I don’t want my teeth to be scraped.
What was your texture like?
@@amberkhashmal Mine has a slightly grainy texture and I have never had an issue with it scraping my teeth at all. It just seems to give a gentle scrub.
@@chicorygirlwellness Thank you for your comment. I ended up discarding the batch I made and using my other half of powder which I ground even more. It’s better + I did melt my coconut oil the first time so I definitely believe that played a role in the over-graininess. I won’t make that mistake again because it caused the shells to sink to the bottom once the oil solidified. 😬
Have you seen any notable differences in the health of your teeth since the making of this video?
@@amberkhashmal Well, I hope the new batch works well for you! I could see where melting it first might make it separate.
I have seen a difference! Those that have used it consistently in our family have not been struggling with cavities as before and we have noticed our teeth feeling cleaner and whiter as well.
