One I like is great teeth. Seriously. Back when Brandon and I were dating and he told me he had a fake tooth, I had to think about our relationship and if I could handle a flawed mouth. Anyway, for a few years my teeth have been extremely sensitive, and it's all due to over brushing and brushing too hard. I switched to super soft toothbrushes and sensitive toothpaste. Recently, my teeth were even more sensitive with the sensitive toothpaste. With all my DIY stuff, I decided to look into making my own toothpaste.
Well, did you know fluoride is outlawed in most of Europe? It's not good for your teeth at all. There are so many natural ways to clean your teeth and make them strong and healthy. One way is gargle pure cranberry juice, and another is way is tooth soap.
Tooth soap? It's exactly what it sounds like, and it is super easy to make.
Here are the ingredients:
1 T Castile soap
5 T coconut oil
1 T olive oil
Essential oil
Clean dispenser
Mix all the ingredients
Put mixture in dispenser and use
Ok, I have to admit these are my pictures of my 1st attempt. I had to redo it. I melted the coconut oil the 1st time around, and it didn't work. 2nd time, I warmed up the oil to soften it, and then mixed with the others. I added quite a bit of peppermint and orange oils. The verdict: it tastes like flavorless soap. But, my teeth feel super clean, and my breath doesn't seem to get bad as quickly even in the morning. I'm giving it a month before I make my final decision on it, but so far no nerve pain.
