Hello everyone, @eyeofthemind here with a quick and simple recipe for some DIY toothpaste. Takes just a minute to make and leaves you feeling refreshed. I've been using this blend for a couple of years now on and off. It's so simple and I absolutely love how my teeth feel after brushing with this. So how easy is this to make? I must tell you, they don't get simpler than this.
What you'll need:
- tablespoon
- a cup or small dish for storage
- a mixing spoon
Ingredients:
- coconut oil
- baking soda
*Now, some people add spearmint to this for some freshness but I always rinse with mouthwash after brushing so I haven't had a need for it.
Step 1
-add equal parts baking soda and coconut oil to your dish (today I used 3Tbsp baking soda and 3Tbsp coconut oil)
Step 2
- mix until you have a pasty blend
*if you have sensitive teeth, I recommend adding a little more coconut oil to help smooth things out
Step 3 - brush your teeth!
I told you that was easy wasn't it?
You can leave this right on the shelf where you would normally put your toothpaste.
Benefits of baking soda and coconut toothpaste
- It's cheap
- Simple to make...isn't it? :)
- Coconut oil is antibacterial as well as antifungal, it helps destroy bacteria that decays your teeth..stay healthy!
- Baking soda is a bit abrasive so it does a good job of cleaning your teeth and helps to whiten them
- Baking soda can also help you balance your pH levels(more to come on this :) )
I hope you all enjoy this post. If so, feel free to upvote and follow! And just so you know I always brush, floss and then rinse!
Stay happy and healthy! Until next time, @eyeofthemind out.
@eyeofthemind - brushing BEFORE flossing! Great to know ^^ Will try this homemade toothpaste sometime

Interesting... I didn't think coconut oil for toothpaste.... I'm using a coconut oil mix with herbs for my hair.... seems good - only 3rd time usage....

I use it for oil pulling from time to time (just the coconut oil that is). Coconut oil is so useful!
