we’ve talked about tooth powders and pastes before, but i wanted to get back into DIYing my oral care routine. why? because i really want to try more herbal-based tooth powders, and i couldn’t find one that fit everything i wanted and didn’t want.
please note i am not a dentist or in any way trained professionally in oral care.
what i don’t want in my toothpaste (please do your own research):
- fluoride
- SLS / foaming agents
- glycerin
- eucalyptus essential oil
- wintergreen essential oil
- baking soda
- artificial colors
- artificial flavors
what’s in my tooth powder:
- bentonite clay
- high mineral content
- absorbs impurities
- calcium carbonate
- helps with remineralization
- white oak bark
- supports healthy gum tissue
- neem bark powder
- reduces gingivitis
- peppermint, clove, and oregano essential oils
- cleansing; targets decay; safe orally in tiny amounts (NOT to ingest)
recipe:
- 3 tablespoons bentonite clay
- 1 tablespoon calcium carbonate
- 1 teaspoon white oak bark powder
- 1 teaspoon neem bark powder
- 2 drops peppermint eo
- 1 drops clove eo
- 1 drops oregano eo
put dry ingredients into a small airtight glass jar. shake until mixed. add EOs 1 drop at a time, shaking between.
