My career was in Dental and Oral Surgery Assisting. I used to believe fluoride was helping, like so many still do. Now that I know better, I've done all I can to make sure my family and friends don't consume ANY, and I feel bad to have administered it to so many kids. God Bless you Heidi for sharing your knowledge with those that want to learn. 🙏
Thank you for sharing this!
When you know better, you do better. At least you know now.
I've been brushing my teeth with baking soda for almost 10 years my teeth are very healthy
You look lovely!
We've been using baking soda, activated charcoal powder, Himalayan pink salt, black walnut hull powder (for systemic yeast), bentinite clay, and sometimes: ground clove, or ground peppermint herb, or lavender powder.
I'll have to try some of the ingredients listed here.
The reason your teeth are healthier after you stop using commercial toothpaste, is because they have glycerine, which coats, and dors not allow the teeth to remineralize.
My mother is a dentist so I asked her what she thought about this. She said: “baking soda is good but it doesn’t have fluoride.” I like this idea a lot!
Haha! Yep, the main reason of making our own was not to save money so much as to get away from fluoride! haha! I do alternate a lot between the powder and the paste, I like them both for various reasons. I do not remember in this old video If I was adding bentonite clay then but that is now a common ingredient in ours
I have a Berkey Water filter and I pay extra for fluoride filters....lol Thanks for the video, I like the idea of coconut oil......@@RainCountryHomestead
I would say thankfully it has no fluoride!
@@RainCountryHomesteadso you can just brush with coconut oil & nothing else ? Thank you so much .
@@babyprecious9147 Yep! :)
I've been using coconut oil, baking soda and peppermint oil for over a year. My dentist complimented my teeth and was surprised I wasn't using store bought toothpaste. Then of course they had to say I wasn't getting any fluoride. Ugh!! I will try your recipe with the calcium and magnesium. Thank you!
Ugh is right! However, we have to remember, THAT is what they are taught in dental school, so unless they choose to do their own research, like some dentists have done and then stopped recommending fluoride as a result, they will just keep regurgitating the falsehoods they learned. That is very cool about what they said about your teeth! I haven't been to the dentist in years because I do not see the need any longer - plus, I do not trust them either! haha
Wonderful about your toothpaste and the wonderful review. I agree, fluoride is more detrimental than beneficial, in my opinion.
@@RainCountryHomestead Yeah that's because it's an accepted practice now does not make it correct, like slavery. We as a species are still learning.
Doctors are like that too. They're taught a certain way in school which is why they push meds and chemicals on us.
@@saltycat662 yes - totally agree!!
thank you for that advise about clogging the drain, I hadn't considered that at all
I'm loving your videos. You might want to consider writing your recipes in the description for easy reference. Thanks for sharing your time, effort, and experiences!
Thank you, and yes, I think I should do that but with as busy as I am, it is just and extra time consuming step I have to try to remember.
I watch the video and write them down. Then I pick up the ingredients, mix it up, rewrite the recipe and put it in my DIY binder.
The best natural whitening I've try is coconut oil and turmeric powder mixed together. Unbelievable, but two minutes brushing with this mix you will see an immediate results. The only thing is that you have to take care with the clothes because they can get stained. I promise, you, it works!
Really? I would have thought the turmeric stained the teeth? Interesting!
Something that is rarely mentioned with using coconut oil is the fact that this could build up in your drain causing a blockage. Always spit your residue onto a paper towel and discard in garbage can.
Not taking the time to watch this old video right now but I thought I did mention that I do not spit coconut oil down the drain, I have places outside that I spit it out. A paper towel is a great idea if you are only brushing but if you do like I do and then do an oil pull for another 20 minutes, there ends up being way too much to just spit into a paper towel
@@RainCountryHomestead you did
I have been oil pulling for 4-5 years now, started 7 days/week, now 3 or 4 times a week. My gums and teeth are in much better condition than before; dental cleanings are done in less than half the time than before; after rinsing for 20 min with coconut oil, spit in garbage and rinse a moment with warm salt water then plain water just to get everything out of your mouth; You need to do the coconut oil pulling as soon as you get up in a.m. before eating or drinking; I prefer to melt the coconut oil before I use it but some people use it solid and it melts in your mouth ( Its important to use virgin cold pressed organic coconut oil) Since I started doing this, I never get sick with flus and colds. It removes bacteria from your mouth and pulls toxins out as well.
I agree, I do not remember what I said in this old video but I rarely brush with the powder anymore, I start by brushing with the unrefined coconut oil for a few minutes, then simply remove the toothbrush and swish for at least 20 minutes while doing chores and I spit it outside. I think using coconut oil to clean with is the best way personally and same with me, I think the last time I got sick was years ago from a dance student who had just had the flu shot and it was also during the time I had just weaned myself off my thyroid medication so my immunities were down for a time until my body healed itself from that big pharma garbage
We used something very similar to the "tooth powder" when I was Civil War reenacting. Not quite so fancy, but the same basic idea. And it was surprising how clean it left your teeth feeling. Thank you for sharing Heidi !
That is very cool! Thanks Bumble Bee!
You are one smart woman, thank you for sharing with us😊💚☘️
Greetings Heidi and Patrick. Am so happy that I found a place of comfort so that I can lay my head.
I make my own with coconut oil, activated charcoal (which is super silly to brush your teeth with), stevia, and powdered freeze dried strawberries! If I'm making some just for me, because I took horrible care of my teeth decades ago during a really dark period of life + old cavities from childhood that seem to be getting worse, I will add cinnamon and clove oil for pain (no strawberry powder). If I can grind up eggshells small enough to a powder, I will add those in.
I will definitely be adding the clay and magnesium, though! I have used clay based toothpaste before and love how it made my teeth feel.
Yes I was going to suggest fine ground egg shells instead of calcium citrate.
I made infused coconut oil with plantain. Tightens those gums! I agree coconut oil whitens teeth amazingly well. Thanks for the recipe!
The wild plantain like found in yards, or the fruit?
@@homesteadgamer1257 the plant (Plantago major) although this year I used the one with thin leaves and it was good too.
@@RunninUpThatHillh Thank you!! I'm going to try this!
@@homesteadgamer1257 Sure! Have you ever made plantain tincture (80 or 100 proof)? I made a big jug of it and it's sincerely the best for a mouthwash too. I made a sage and plantain one and it was so great. Made my mouth tingle. Somehow plantain makes your teeth feel clean too, even along your back mollars without even actually brushing.
@@RunninUpThatHillh I haven't made anything with plantain yet! I only the the narrow leaf available, so hopefully with works the same. Sage and plantain sound awesome too.
Love your videos. Always making notes and making recipes!
Trying this tonight , super excited !! Thank you ❤️
I really enjoy your suggestions. You are awesome!!!!
Thanks so much for sharing! Gonna try this!
Thank you for all your help! I've been using just coconut oil and good to hear about the additions! 🙂
I have been using a mixture of coconut oil and baking soda. I was worried about using the baking soda all the time. So thanks so much for doing this video. Going to definitely try your recipe.
Thanks for the recipe. I will be adding the mag&cal.
YAY!!!! Another goodie for my shelf! Thank u, thank u, thank u!!! God Bless! ✝💞✝
Great video. Glad you mentioned oil pulling. I make my own as well but have not used bentonite clay. I will get some. Glad that you mentioned the calcium and mag as well. I bought mag powder by mistake once and have needed to find a way to use it
yet another great teaching video. thanks Heidi!
Thanks Brooklyngirl! :D
Thank you...we use your recipe but add some sea salt as well. My husband and I love this stuff!!
Great idea. Thank you.
I love your videos. I'm so glad I found you. Take care and God bless.
Thank you Rhonda!
Thanks for sharing your recipe with us.
Thanks for sharing. I'm going to start oil pulling and was looking for info.
another awesome video, very informative have to try that one day, keep the awesome videos coming, god bless you and your family.
Thank you Patrick!
Thank you for this video.
I am 62 yrs old and have ude baking soda and hydrogen peroxide my entire life and i brush my teeth ALOT. Always used really soft tooth brush and brushed teeth gently...never had a cavity.....four kids all grown and they never had a cavity
Thank you very much, it is a great idea without fluor, that is a dangerous ingredient.
God bless u.
Greta from the Eu.
Thank you, since i came to the uk using store toothpaste my teeth are now yellow. Been wanting to make my own
Thank You for sharing 😇
We have a lot of the same techniques ,philosophies , recipes, and theories. Appreciate your wholesome lovers knowledge and experience and the additions that you have bestowed upon me are brilliant concluded for me a lot of things that I had previously thought about it maybe doing and thinking that it made sense or was Common Sense however, this is not so common anymore and is Once Upon a Time with living that has became commercialized and propaganda that and just used as a monetary means for other companies has taken the whole point out of wood it is that we're trying to do which is preserved nurture and grow and live in the confines of our own means I'm doing so so I appreciate you for taking it up a notch and a step back as well and implementing the integrity and the benefits of the natural holistic approach to life and just living in your truth
THANK YOU
Here's the recipe we use for remineralizing tooth powder:4 Tablespoons Bentonite Clay3 Tablespoons Calcium Powder1 Tablespoon Baking Soda (optional)2 Tablespoons Powdered Mint Leaf (optional, or can use essential oil)- Powder in blender, food processor or coffee grinder.1 tablespoon Cinnamon Powder (or this kind)1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of Cloves Powder1 Tablespoon (or more to taste) Xylitol PowderEssential oils for taste- completely optional but Peppermint, Spearmint and Cinnamon are good.
Bentonite clay is another good one! I have used it before and love how it works on my teeth, but like the coconut oil, should not be spit down the sink.
Funny you commented on this one because I just put up an updated toothpowder recipe this morning and thought that was what you were commenting on. haha
Love it!
@@RainCountryHomestead❤
@@RainCountryHomesteadj
Thanks ❤
Thank you
Your teeth look great on the video will definitely try this. Will be priceless onto to me to be able to stay away from the dentist! Ha HA and many thanks from the old farm girl.
Thank You very much for your informative as well as interesting videos! I Love them all! I have to say,your teeth are so white and shiny!✨
...And All the Time, God is Good :)
Just found you. Thanks for sharing the vid and loved how you opened your vid.
Lol. I loved this Ma'am. "I'm not a Doctor, nor am i a Dentist". Wish you had said this before my teeth fell out. Lol. Peace and Love to you and your's Ma'am.

Ive been brushing my teeth with coconut oil and bicarbonate of soda for oever 2 years without any problem.
Best to grow your own stevia if you can! Local nurseries should carry starts, or can order some if you ask.
And remember when brushing with coconut oil, don't spit it in the sink. Spit it in a compost or garbage because in the cold pipes, the coconut oil will harden and clog. Even if you run hot water for awhile, it will get cold further down the pipe and harden again.
I have grown it, it only does ok in a greenhouse and I decided it was not worth the space. I do not use any sweeteners in my toothpowders anymore and like it better
@@RainCountryHomestead I'm growing some right now for the first time, but where I live is way too hot for it. It's only doing okay here as well. I have a feeling it does much better in cooler, wetter climates. The reason I even bought it was to skip the additives from the store bought stuff. I can't stomach the additives and how they process it commercially.
As someone who has suffered from gingivitis and periodontal disease almost my whole life. As soon as I started using coco oil, H2O2 and baking soda, my bleeding went away. My gums tightened up. My breath stopped smelling bad. The bad taste I had in my mouth constantly, went away. Tonsil stones, GONE.
Not saying it works for everyone but fluoride is honestly terrible for people who have sensitive mouths.
I like this. I've been learning on how everything we use that's typically big name brand is shotgunned with a bunch of chemicals, toxins, n body harming agents that are made to slowly poison us overtime from infancy from laundry detergent, dish soap, body washes, tooth paste/mouthwash, etc. I found a website called garners garden that makes alot of natural n organic soaps, hair care, bug repellent oil, and yes oral care - a tooth powder the same way u do but with a hydrogen peroxide pre rinse n mouthwash. What else do you have as a natural
I love it! I'm definitely making some! :)
Great! Thanks for watching! :D
I've just tried the link for the magnesium citrate. Many of the reviews have said their product has changed and is NOT pure magnesium citrate. Just wanted to inform and share that, as I am very adamant about honesty and trust in what i am buying, as I'm sure you are seeing as though you have all these great videos and have stopped supporting companies who provide toxic and harmful products.
I will look into it, I have not actually bought it in years, I simply do not go through it that fast and in fact, have stopped adding either one to the tooth powder. I know this is an older video, I cannot remember in the remake I did of this if I was still using those. Anyway, thanks for letting me know.
@@RainCountryHomestead
there is an alternate product - which I have had for many years, but not always used it - Perfect health solutions, Okinawa Coral Calcium (Eco Safe Above Sea Coral; has bio abvailable Calcium, magnesium and 72 other trace minerals) 1 Kg.
Hello, Hedi and friends !!! Love your channel!!! I have started making my own toothpaste also with the coconut oil. Recently I saw a video here on youtube about wheat grass for the mouth and health have you heard about this? Oh, and for sure no spitting this down the drains it just might be a clog in the makins!
Thanks! Have not heard of using wheat grass but I did come up with another new recipe that I like a bit better than the one coconut oil based one I made here. Will be doing another video in the future on that.
You are right about not spitting into the sink, that is why I spit it outside in a few designated areas :)
Cool new recipes are all ways welcome! I want to get a grip of seeds and try the wheat grass indoors!
Yes but tel your family if they use the powder every day they will wear away the enamel of the teeth... Then your left with a yellow look... Great video and toothpaste
Spilling things is how I roll too!
🤣😊
GOD BLESS YA'LL ALWAYS~
Great job on the video well done . When storing do you vac pack the Mason jar or use oxygen observers? Going to give this a try looks yummy 😋 have a goodnight and thanks for sharing
I never vacuum seal my toothpowder as there is no need. Even if I did, I would do it the same way I vacuum seal all my other dried goods and never use oxygen absorbers, I find them to be a waste of money
Hello Heidi, have you ever tried to use your egg shells ground up instead of the purchased calcium and magnesium (now that you have chickens) in your tooth powder /paste? Or is that just going too far? Can you get it fine enough?
Though I have not used it in the tooth powder, once I use up the magnesium and calcium powders that I have, I plan on doing that, assuming I can get it powdery enough. Not too far at all in fact I have videos about how I use egg shells as a supplement and here is my most recent talking about how they have helped me: czcams.com/video/NqMUHTgoGSM/video.html
And here is where I talk about how I wash and prepare them since I forgot to say it in that video:
czcams.com/video/Zd8_ALrtOjs/video.html
Hi Rain... I really enjoy your videos and I have a question. What do you think of brushing your teeth with Activated Charcoal on your toothpaste? It's supposed to be detoxifying
Yes, it is a great choice and I know some that do it. I tried it once and was not crazy about it but each person needs to try and find what works best for them
My daughter loves using it .
So are we tasting nice and minty? Smelling like Rose's. We are connected as one. God is good all the time. Welcome to the 5D.
That’s how I roll! I have a coffee mug with a big ball of yarn on it and underneath it it says this is how I roll😹
I make the powder but add an equal amount of baking soda and diatomaceous earth.
I have made it many different ways and have four different recipes out on youtube, the one above happens to be the oldest but this one here is my favorite so far: czcams.com/video/knUSuIUw99c/video.html
I do not use Diatomaceous Earth because it can add more abrasiveness to the powder which can be a bit hard on the teeth, especially when combined with baking powder
👍
Is it more cost efficient over time to make your own toothpaste than to buy it at the store? Thank you for posting this!
It really does not take much time so yes, it is very cost efficient. Much of the time, I simply brush with coconut oil alone and it works great
I made a natural mouthwash to go with my toothpaste with water, baking soda, and peppermint oil. I added a tbsp of colloidal silver as an addition. However, after watching you add magnesium to your toothpaste I realized I have pure magnesium oil and was wondering what you would think about adding it to my mouthwash?
I am not sure what magnesium oil is like or how it is used but if it is safe for topical and internal use, then I am sure it would be fine in the mouth wash.
@@RainCountryHomestead I haven't seen on the bottle or any other bottles on Amazon for internal use of magnesium oil; only for topical use. However, this link I'm sharing, he uses it and he and his guests actually put it in their mouth so I don't know. Maybe there is one for internal. I can't see what he has there.czcams.com/video/ROY9ZLq5vTQ/video.html
I absolutely love your channel Heidi! I so happy I found you😄
I use XylItol which is supposed to be good for teeth in our home made toothpaste, I notice you use stevia?
Can you tell me why?
Thank you!
I stopped using stevia years ago, it was only for getting us used to the flavor now we do not use it or any other sweetener. Whole they claim xylitol is good for teeth, it is still an artificial sweetener that I try to avoid
@@RainCountryHomestead
Ooo that would be challenging! Not quite ready for that yet though 😣 well done!
I have done oil pulling, but have not kept up with it. Better start, again, Rain, have you thought of doing live streams on TheHomeSteadNetwork.? You have so much to offer and would be a big asset to the network. I thought I would tune in today to hear some of the new posters. Ha! What a joke! Both so far are not there. My daughter and I sure would love some committed people that have a lot to offer. Love Living On A Dime and Deep South Homestead!
I have actually been considering it. My main concern is my internet, it has been acting pretty wonky lately, especially in the evenings. But, I can always do a test run and see how it goes once things settle down a bit here
Oh, Rain, that would be so great! Hope the Internet works out for you!
Thanks, Songbird, the encouragement from you and others has been getting me to think more seriously about it and am pleased people like my content enough to ask for a live show! :D
pray tell, what is the magnesium form you use?
Could you infuse the coconut oil with fresh stevia and strain instead of adding later? Or, for that matter, any fresh herbs of your choice?
You certainly could if you have a way of keeping the coconut oil from solidifying during the infusing process
Baking soda hurts my teeth, like a deep ache (and I brush gently with a soft brush). I am so bummed about it haha! Maybe I'll figure out how to revise the recipe. We use Uncle Harry's for now, or yarrow/plantain tincture.
try using only Bentonite clay or coconut oil, or even the two combined
I like the addition of magnesium and calcium. I'm going to have to add that to mine. The only downside to coconut oil is it's kinda messy. Maybe it's just me but the coconut oil runs down my toothbrush handle as it melts in my mouth! 😁 I love homemade toothpaste tho so I don't mind the mess. Does the magnesium and calcium help it to be less messy?
No, it will not make it less messy but it will help to remineralze the teeth. The funny thing about this video is it is old and I have changed up my recipes a few times. I reshot the video a couple years ago but am planning on reshooting again with my most recent recipe.
@@RainCountryHomestead The other night I got coconut oil on my shirt while brushing my teeth. 😁 I couldn't get the oil stain out. Any suggestions?
@@RainCountryHomestead 0
Sorry didn't mean the 0. Thanks for the great recipe
I read to not use a metal spoon when mixing bentonite clay because it reacts with a compound in it. I prefer homemade toothpaste. 😁
Stainless steel is non reactive thus totally safe to use with bentonite clay.
@@RainCountryHomestead that's great, because I'm not a fan of mixing my ingredients with a plastic spoon. Lol
What would the shelf life be on the paste . ? That looks good to make . 😊
indefinite
Thank you :)
I put that clay in my tooth powder - with the egg shells and ground up herbs and turmeric and such. I quit making it because it totally dried up my mouth. Haha - I didn't know you had to add water to the clay. I've never added baking soda but I do add xylitol because I had some and had no other use for it. I read it was good for teeth but I'm sure it's not natural.
I agree on the xylitol, just the name made me think it did not sound all that healthy! haha! But I did look it up and what I found was about what I thought. There are a lot of things that are "natural" but that does not mean they are healthy or non toxic.
Here is an article by Dr. Axe that explains a bit on xylitol:
draxe.com/xylitol-side-effects/
I think I'm just going to throw it away. I was only using a very little and not even for flavor, just because I read it was good for oral health. But I keep it way back in the corner of the cupboard because I'm afraid someone will use it for something or that I will grab it by mistake and use it. I'm just going to throw it away. thanks.
can I use egg shells instead of calcium and magnesium? :) God bless you!
I have tried it but unless you can find a way to truly powder those egg shells, they are just too gritty.
Hey Rain, love your videos!
Just had one question. Do you rinse your mouth with water after having brushed or done oil pulling with your coconut oil mixture? I tend not to do that but maybe sometimes my mouth gets a little dry and i feel like rehydrating.
I know this is an old video but i hope you'll get to see my comment.
Thanks for reading, cheers!
Yes, I usually run a wet tooth brush around after doing so
@@RainCountryHomestead Okay cool. Thanks for the response :D
@@RainCountryHomestead Can i also ask you if it is safe to do oil pulling with just coconut oil and baking soda?
@@oliverreidarsson9454 I have used just coconut oil and also coconut oil with the powder blend for oil pulling so yes, I would assume so
Green leaf Stevia use that
Nope, we do not need it at all. I have since found I prefer NO sweeteners of any kind in my toothpowder. ON a side note, stevia does not have to be green to be pure if it as extracted from the leaf. It is making sure there are no additives
You can grow stevia, pretty easy
It may be easy for some, climate matters. I have tried growing it and it only does good in the greenhouse and it is not worth it to me to sacrifice that precious space. I just do not use it at all anymore. Once you get used to the baking soda, there is no need for any sweetness
If adding calcium, you might want to add Vit K2 also... make sure that calcium goes to the bones and not blood vessels ... Lots of research available... Also some good research on the dental benefits of Xylitol....
Yes, I know about Xylitol but I do not personally trust it from reading what it really is and I never promote it. Even stevia can have its issues and I stopped adding it to my tooth powders/pastes once we got use to using them and that was quite a few years ago and I personally would not waste my vitamin K2 capsules adding to something I am going to spit out anyway as they are not cheap but of course anyone can do what they feel is best. This recipe is just a basic and I have changed it many times over the years. This is only one of several video recipes I have for it.
Here is my video on non nutritive sweeteners and their pros and cons: czcams.com/video/s0IQS_dWRT4/video.html
Hi...ist the hydration coconut oil??
Can you grow stevia plant? Dry the leaves and grind them up. Add to the powder or paste?
I have grown it before but in our cool environment it prefers a greenhouse so whether or not you can grow it is dependent on your climate but yes, if you can grow it, you can then dry and powder. However, I stopped using stevia for our toothpowder years ago. You just get used to it without the sweetness and then I found I prefer it without it
Xylitol is good for your teeth. Maybe a little of that would be good in toothpaste.
Yes, I have heard that before but I tend to steer away from such things. This video is kind of old and we do not use any type of sweetening agent in the paste or powder and I now prefer it that way
Can i just brush with only baking soda?
Do you think I can use powdered egg shell instead of bottled magnesium and calcium for the tooth powder and paste?
Yep, I have since tried that and it is a great and frugal option
Rain Country Thank you so much!
Can you get the bentonite clay on Amazon? (Where it will help support your channel)
Yes and thank you! I will like to it here: amzn.to/2nloM2I
And just so you know, you can go through any amazon link I post and do a search for whatever you want, anything added to your cart during that shopping session gets credited to us even if you do not buy the product of the link you went through :)
Do you melt the coconut oil first or straight out of the container?
I typically have to melt mine as it is rather cold here most of the time so my coconut oil is almost always hard. It depends on how warm it is where you store it.
From where I can get Bin night clay. Or how to spell it . I want to buy but can’t count same thing as you have in video.thanks
Here is where I get my Bentonite Clay: amzn.to/2PpUwMW
May I share that I make my deodorant with equal parts of baking soda, corn starch and coconut oil, with a few drops of essential oil such as peppermint and/or lavender. It works very well.
Yes, I do something very similar without the coconut oil: czcams.com/video/QpNwmpjB2Js/video.html
What's the name of the magnesium jar you were using.
You should be able to find the link in the description box
Could I use Castor oil for oil pulling?
Could I mix castor and coconut oil to make my own toothpaste and add essential oils?
Yes and yes
A couple questions if you mix the coconut oil with the powders do you keep it in the refrigerator and how long does that last….
Next question is the powder how do you use it do you sprinkle it on your toothbrush do you dip your toothbrush in and again how long does that last?
Just trying to figure out shelflife on these products
No need to keep it in the fridge, I never do. No problem with it lasting as long as I need it to.
I wet the toothbrush and dip it in. That is why we each have our own and shelf life is simply not an issue
@@RainCountryHomestead OK and I was watching a couple more videos and is it important that the bentonite clay is food safe is brushing your teeth with it considered ingesting it or do you feel there’s a need to use food safe for the toothpaste? I read somewhere that you can get bent. clay for really really really cheap through pottery websites.
@@michellechandler-whiseant3454 I do not worry about that so much but here is where I get my bentonite clay now and going through this link will save you 15% www.halaleveryday.com/discount/RAINCOUNTRY15
@@RainCountryHomestead oh wow ty so much!!
do you use baking soda in the toothpaste with coconut you made?
Anymore I typically keep the powder and coconut oil separate. I sometimes use one instead of the other and sometimes use both at the same time
I think you have a hidden camera in my house...Smoochie just ran out of toothpaste and I need to make more. He gags on mint so I have to do it with cinnamon. Love the addition of magnesium and calcium! A funny...when we started dating he came over I the morning and asked me why I was drinking mud. I do a shot of hydrated bentonite daily. lol
Haha! Glad my ideas are coming in time. I will be putting a video up soon on how to make your own clay mask as well. Love that Bentonite clay. Cinnamon was ANOTHER oil I meant to mention, I like that too.
Yay! My girls are on mask missions and scrub searches. The charcoal has been the most fun and the messiest! Lol
Have you tried brushing your teeth with charcoal? I have tried it but it was so messy and I did not notice it making my teeth any whiter than using coconut oil and/or baking soda myself. I also tried a recipe that had neem powder - YUCK! Never again!
No, I don't have plaque or tartar problems. My dentist is a personal friend and he gave me a fist full of kid toothbrushes because I brush too hard and too much apparently. I carry floss and a brush everywhere. Oil pulling and floss are so underrated. :)
I had just heard that the charcoal helps whiten teeth more but I didn't see it and like what I am using. Isn't it amazing how well oil pulling on its own cleans the teeth?! I still brush and floss but find I do not even need to floss as often with the oil pulling. All these things are so much better than the toxic toothpastes or the over priced "natural" varieties!
Ginger!
When you use coconut oil,do you spit out in trash can??I’ve read that it will clog pipes..
I usually spit it outside
hi can u use eggshells powder instead of magnesuim and calcuim powder in ur toothpaste or tooth powder
Yes, you can, in fact I have a new toothpowder video coming out in a few weeks where I show using the egg shell powder. It is grittier but certainly saves money
THANKU AND HOW MUCH EGG SHELL POWDER AND BENTONITE CLAY SHOULD USE FOR TOOTHPASTE OR TOOTHPOWDER BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF MY DIY TOOTHPOWDER
@@clongo6291 I use my bentonite clay in equal parts with baking soda and arrow root powder and make at least three cups at a time, to that I added 2 tablespoons of the egg shell
I'm looking for a diy toothpastes that's refreshing taste.
Peppermint or spearmint oil is all you need to add to get that taste. Even just using coconut oil with one of those two essential oils added works great
cocunt oil and baking soda
Many days I brush with coconut oil only. Sometimes I might mix a bit of essential oil with it, even turpentine. Again, I recommend you check out my updated video on this
Have you use white oak bark !
Nope
So magnesium powder makes it a bit fizzy?
It is not the magnesium or calcium, it is that they are in citrate form. Once combined with the baking soda and they get wet, it will fizz
