Homemade Tooth Powder that works! (to replace unhealthy toothpaste)

I made a batch of this tooth powder today.  It is super easy to make;  it took about 5 minutes from start to finish!

Our family here at Serenity Springs has been using tooth powder instead of toothpaste for at least 4 years now.  We made the switch after we started reading information on all of the added unhealthy ingredients in the store-bought formulas, including fluoride.  Learn about the dangers of fluoride HERE.

We have been seeking more natural ways to do everyday things for some time now.  I truly believe that reducing the toxins that we take into our bodies will help us live healthier lives in the long run.  This recipe is not hard to make, and once you have the ingredients, you can make several batches with them.

That being said, here's the recipe!

Homemade Tooth Powder Recipe

 4 parts bentonite clay (I used a 1/2 cup measuring cup per part.  I like big batches.  You can use whatever size measuring utensil you want)  Get bentonite clay HERE (affiliate link)

1 part baking soda

1/2 part ground cloves  You can buy bulk whole cloves HERE and grind them yourself  or you can just use 10 drops of clove oil  

10-20 drops peppermint oil  

10-20 drops tea trea oil 

10 drops cassia oil (optional)  Find Peppermint, Clove, Tea Tree, and Cassia oils HERE

If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add 1/ 2 part Stevia, but I don't put it in our formula.

Mix all of the ingredients together in a glass jar, and shake well to distribute oils.  I pour a bit into a small bowl with a lid for actual use in the bathroom.  Apply some to toothbrush, and there you go!

The bentonite clay neutralizes the acids in your mouth which cause cavities, and acts as an abrasive cleanser along with the baking soda, which is also an acid-neutralizer.  

The menthol in peppermint oil makes a great breath freshener, and is also anti-bacterial.

Cloves are anti-bacterial and help to kill germs in your mouth.  This is also the function of tea-tree oil.  

All of these ingredients together make a POWERFUL cavity fighter.  You can also be confident in the natural ingredients instead of the questionable, unhealthy, potentially poisoning ones in commercial toothpaste formulas.  Once you have the ingredients, it is a cinch to make, and it serves our family of 5 for quite awhile before I have to make another batch.  You can also use the ingredients for other things, like using peppermint oil to treat  headaches and nausea.

Give it a try!  You won't regret it!!
