No need to buy a jar. A Green Giant glass mushroom jar should be more than enough as the recipe only calls for 8 tablespoons of ingredients.

For example: a 4 oz jar holds 24 tablespoons.

Honey is anti-microbial, just like coconut oil and since you spit toothpaste out after brushing and then rinse, there’s absolutely no reason to worry about using it.

On other sites, it says Xylitol is touted for remineralization of the enamel of your teeth.

Over time will the bicarbonate of soda & salt not harm the enamel? That’s my only concern. I love all natural things & want to follow all this great advice.

I need to buy a jar for this. How much does it make so I know what size jar to use? I will be using the following ingredients in my recipe – coconut oil, baking soda, and peppermint.

No, do not swallow the coconut oil! You would be swallowing the bacteria and junk the oil is taking from your mouth.
Just use a plastic bag or go outside.

You don’t want a toothpaste with honey in it. Honey is basically a sugar. Xylitol on the other hand will actually prevent tooth decay.

I’ve used coconut oil and baking soda for at least a decade. It has never caused a clogged drain.

Do you have to use food grade essential oils?

Honey? I wouldn’t recommend any honey, syrup or sugars of any kind in a toothpaste since the acid from sugars is one of the destructive things toothpaste is being used to remove. Adding anything that’s destructive to tooth enamel and promotes tooth decay is probably not advisable in toothpaste.

Thank you Grace! Surprisingly, baking soda can actually protect your teeth from becoming sensitive. But if your teeth are already sensitive, then you probably should go with a natural toothpaste for sensitive teeth, such as “hello see ya, sensitivity toothpaste”

Fluoride is often not included in natural toothpastes. And some studies reveal it to be unsafe. See this article we wrote: https://draxe.com/health/is-fluoride-bad-for-you/

Exactly… change your silver filling before and after you could!!!👍

I’m interested in a reply to this too

I use mct oil instead of. Coconut oil because it doesn’t harden in cool temps.

It’s already in your mouth which absorbs things quite easily…they might come out of your teeth which would likely require a trip to the dentist and be uncomfortable or even painful …is my take …but I’m not sure the clay is most excellent for detoxing your body of heavy metals and other toxins etc plus it remineralizes your body in a nice soaking bath or you can grind it super fine ad small amounts to your drinking water a gallon at a time only drink one glass a day also makes excellent first aid paste face mask makeup deodorant endless uses doesn’t the Bibke say God Made us of Clay ? Interesting because our mineral s match both the clay and the sea salt . you are the salt and light of the world.

Yes I have silver fillings too. Should I not use bentonite clay toothpaste because of the silver fillings?

So I have a few silver fillings in my mouth so does that mean I should not use Bentonite clay toothpaste because I would be releasing mercury into my body by using the toothpaste that contains bentonite clay??? Please help me figure this out
