Three
ingredients. So simple!!!
3 TB coconut oil
1 TB baking soda
12 drops of
peppermint essential oil
Mix all
ingredients together in a small container.
To use just dip
your DRY toothbrush into the jar, add some water and brush. Do not put a wet
toothbrush into the jar….any water in the jar will cause mold to grow. Coconut oil hardens at 76 degrees so depending
on the temperature of your bathroom this mixture will be liquid or more like a
paste…either way it will work the same!!
This recipe will
last a few weeks. Since there are no preservatives, it’s best to work in
smaller batches to keep the toothpaste fresh.
Enjoy bright,
white teeth and a healthy smile!!!
Obviously the
taste will take some getting used to, but once you do you’ll never go back to
regular toothpaste. Coconut oil is antibacterial and antifungal so it will keep
your mouth nice and clean. This recipe also doesn’t include any nasty chemicals
or fluoride found in conventional toothpaste.

outline the great benefits to using coconut oil as toothpaste and the dangers of harmful chemicals and fluoride in conventional toothpaste:
