Homemade toothpaste that whitens teeth, treats cavities and gum disease

 


Baking Soda: Known for its minimal risks and effectiveness in fighting bacteria and whitening teeth. It's an affordable, household item that's been proven in studies to be beneficial for oral health.

Essential Oil (Mint or Lemon): Adds a fresh flavor and antibacterial properties.

Coconut Oil: Contains powerful antibacterial effects, inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria like Streptococcus mutans, known for causing enamel damage.

White Clay: Acts as a purifier and astringent, cleaning teeth without harming the gums due to its neutral pH.

Preparation:


Mix all the ingredients in a bowl until you achieve a paste-like consistency.

Use by wetting your toothbrush and applying the mixture.

Store in a sterile glass container. Note: Coconut oil can harden in cold temperatures, so prepare in small batches for weekly use.
