I’ve been getting a lot of questions about teeth and dental hygiene. One of the biggest questions is: How do I make my own toothpaste? What do I do about all that fluoride? I heard it’s bad for me. Well, in this post I’m going to show you how to do it yourself make your own toothpaste. And also I’m going to tell you a little ancient secret that a lot of people are using nowadays called “oil pulling”.
So what do you need to make your own toothpaste? Real simple and easy: Coconut oil, baking soda, and a little bit of your favorite essential oil depending on what it is. Just to add a little bit of the flavor into it as well.
Our mouth is the first step in digesting anything. So a lot of the stuff people put on their teeth in these toothpastes nowadays aren’t really good for you. In particular, one of my worst enemies: Fluoride. You may be thinking, well, my dentist tells me to, you know, brush my teeth before I’d all the time. They put these fluoride trays in my teeth to make sure that I don’t get cavities, all these other things, and that my friends is a big misconception in my own personal opinion. You want to still put fluoride in your mouth, feel free, but there’s plenty of evidence out there.
In particular, the Harvard study that was just recently done, they concluded that over 27 studies throughout time, showed that children that use fluoride actually damaged their mental cognition, their mental ability. So if you care about your kids, care about you, I wouldn’t be using fluoride.
One thing it also does is it disrupts your pineal gland. Pineal gland is that acorn-shaped gland in your head that gives you the ability to dream, that gives you the ability to have lucid dreams, to be creative, to connect to your higher source, whatever you want to call it. It disrupts that whatsoever.
So I would use this toothpaste. I would get something like Toms or something in the grocery store that doesn’t contain fluoride most definitely. But if you want to make your own, this is how you do it.
Before I make the toothpaste, I wanted to tell you about oil pulling and how easy this ancient method for cleaning your teeth and optimizing your health really simple.
You grab a tablespoon of coconut oil, you’re going to put it in your mouth and you’re going to swish it around about 15 to 20 minutes every single night before you go to bed. And what that does when doing it, it actually pulls the bacteria, pulls all the bad stuff out of your mouth, gets rid of the toxins. A lot of people report back, and if you’ve had sinus infections, your lymphatic system has been damaged throughout your life. It actually starts to remedy that, which is pretty cool and it’s simple.
So that’s how you do oil pulling. Let’s get on with making the toothpaste. We make it by adding coconut. So why is coconut oil so good for your teeth? That’s antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antiviral. It’s really good at getting rid of the bad bacteria in your mouth without killing the good bacteria. So maybe one tablespoon into one tablespoon of baking soda. It’s a one-to-one ratio.
Baking soda, mild abrasive. It cleans the teeth and it also helps restore the pH balance in the mouth. And then also you add just a couple drops of your essential oil into it. It’s going to freshen it up. It’s going to make it taste great. You’re absolutely gonna love it. You can add a little Stevia to it if you wanted to.
For lifer, the toothpaste is done and I want you to take one really good care of your smile because when you take good care of your smile and you actually choose to smile as an adult, you know, as kids, we smiled like 270 times a day as an adult five times. And this is a study that was conducted, so you want to make sure that you’re smiling all day long. It’s going to help you age gracefully. It’s going to reduce stress and it just sends a signal to your whole body to lower that cortisol hormone and put yourself in an optimum state.
So the purpose of my blog is not only to show you a healthier alternative to making toothpaste, but it’s to get you to recognize that you need to smile more. And to do that, I want you to take a picture of yourself right now. Take a selfie and post it on Facebook. And for more tips, tools, tactics, techniques that you can use in your own life to radically save money, to change your wellbeing, to change your health.

DIY toothpaste for fresh breath
Are you looking for a natural and cost-effective way to freshen your breath? Look no further than homemade toothpaste! Not only is it easy to make, but it also allows you to control the ingredients that go into your oral care routine. Plus, it can save you money in the long run.
To make your own toothpaste, all you need is baking soda, coconut oil, and a few drops of essential oils like peppermint or lemon. Baking soda is a gentle abrasive that helps to remove plaque and stains, while coconut oil has natural antimicrobial properties that help to fight bad breath. Essential oils not only add flavor but also have their own antimicrobial benefits.
To make the toothpaste, simply mix together equal parts baking soda and coconut oil, I recommend starting with 2 tablespoons of each. Then, add a few drops (about 5-10) of your chosen essential oil for flavor. Mix it all together until it forms a creamy consistency, and store it in a jar.
When using homemade toothpaste, remember to use a small amount and brush gently to avoid damaging your enamel. You can also use it as a mouthwash by adding a teaspoon to warm water and swishing it around your mouth for a few minutes.
Overall, making your own toothpaste can be a fun and rewarding DIY project that can help you maintain fresh breath and a healthy mouth. Give it a try and see how it works for you!

DIY toothpaste for sensitive teeth
Do you suffer from sensitive teeth but don’t want to shell out money for special toothpaste? Why not try making your own at home with natural ingredients? DIY toothpaste for sensitive teeth is easy to make and customizable to your own preferences.
One common ingredient in DIY toothpaste for sensitive teeth is baking soda, which has natural whitening properties and can help neutralize acid in your mouth. You can mix baking soda with water or coconut oil for a paste-like consistency. Another ingredient to consider is xylitol, a natural sweetener that has been shown to promote good oral health and reduce plaque buildup.
Another option is to use essential oils such as peppermint or clove, both of which have natural antibacterial properties and can freshen your breath. You can mix these oils with your baking soda or xylitol mixture to create a unique flavor profile that works best for you.
It’s important to note that DIY toothpaste for sensitive teeth may not work for everyone, and it’s always a good idea to consult with your dentist before making any changes to your oral care routine. However, with a little experimentation and patience, you may find that homemade toothpaste is a great alternative to store-bought options. Give it a try and see if it works for you!
DIY toothpaste for whitening teeth
If you’re looking for a simple and natural way to whiten your teeth without breaking the bank, DIY toothpaste could be an excellent option for you. You can create a basic whitening toothpaste with just a handful of ingredients found in your pantry or local grocery store. The primary ingredient in most DIY toothpaste recipes, baking soda, has been used for decades to whiten teeth naturally.
To make a basic toothpaste for whitening teeth, mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of water to form a paste. You can also add a few drops of peppermint or tea tree oil to give your toothpaste a refreshing flavor. This toothpaste should be used just like regular toothpaste, brushing for at least two minutes twice a day to see results in a matter of weeks.
Another option for DIY toothpaste is to combine baking soda with coconut oil. Coconut oil is known for its anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it ideal for promoting healthy teeth and gums. To make this toothpaste, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and add 10-15 drops of peppermint oil for flavor. This mixture can be stored in a small jar or container and used like regular toothpaste.
It’s essential to note that while DIY toothpaste is safe, it may not be the most effective option for everyone. If you have sensitive teeth or gum disease, consult with your dentist before incorporating any new oral care products into your routine. Additionally, it’s crucial to maintain a healthy oral hygiene routine with regular flossing and brushing to promote healthy teeth and gums.
My mother always used baking soda to brush her teeth when I was growing up. Just dipped the wet toothbrush in it. She was a dental hygienist with great teeth!
I had tried using just baking soda… I got used to it, but a dental assistant told me to be careful because it could be too abrasive. this seems much gentler and much more creamy and pleasant! I just started using baking soda rinses for canker sores this year and it’s amazing! Thanks for sharing these with us, I might be looking for a cool bottle in my kitchen for something today..
Ahh yes, baking soda alone is okay once in a while but as your main toothpaste it’s probably too abrasive and can lead to receding gums and damaged tooth enamel. It’s got great healing properties and is great in smaller doses, though. I hope you do try these recipes! Let me know if you do! 🙂
nice to have such honesty. the tootpaste world wants to sell more flouride, fluoride rises, toothpaste, treatment, even drinking water for babies has fluoride.
Never really understood why it’s being pushed so much.
Following you, you offer real honesty.
