Looking for an alternative to commercial toothpastes containing toxic ingredients that are harmful to your health? Here’s a natural and effective toothpaste you won’t have to call your doctor for in case you accidentally swallow some!
This homemade toothpaste may look more like dessert, but don’t be fooled!
Coconut oil and bentonite clay are the perfect foundation for toothpaste, creating a delightful taste and texture along with superior effectiveness.
Coconut oil supports the gut microbiome (remember that oral health is connected to gut health and that your mouth is part of your digestive tract).
Bentonite clay cleans your teeth without being too abrasive, while its high mineral content helps to remineralize your teeth.
The addition of probiotics and prebiotics help to create a healthy mouth flora. And as for the cacao…believe it or not it’s not just about the taste! (Although we here at Ask the Dentist do indeed love some high quality chocolate). Compounds found in cacao lower your chance of cavities and also harden tooth enamel.
Indulge in the naturally delicious flavor and satisfaction of brushing your teeth with healthy, non-toxic toothpaste that you made yourself!
