Eco Challenge – Natural Toothpaste
Why not make your own toothpaste?
Eco Challenge February 2012 – Toothpaste
You can make your own tooth powder, just take 3 parts baking soda and 1 part salt and mix it together and store in a glass container. Wet your toothbrush and dip it into your powder and brush away and then wet your brush again and brush some more. I use this powder all the time and it’s really does a good job of cleaning my teeth, gums, and tongue. And it helps keep your breath sweet too! You can also make a nice tooth paste by adding 6 teaspoons of glycerin to every cup of tooth powder and 40 drops of flavored oil such as cinnamon, anise, or peppermint or any other natural oil flavoring oil you want to add (Nice thing is… you get to choose the flavor). I also like Tea Tree oil toothpaste and it works well for treating gum disease, and you can buy this at any local health food store… or you can add 5 or 6 drops Tea Tree Oil per cup of natural toothpaste above—it has a interesting flavor that some don’t enjoy so don’t add too much.
I use both and they are wonderful for having a great natural smile and great breath!
If you plan on sharing a KISS with someone this Valentines Day – remember this eco-tip and the reaction received from your partner might surprise you. Clean teeth and healthy gums provide insight into individual health and personal hygiene.
