Squeeze-produced homemade toothpaste

The toothpaste recipes I remember have been popular all the time, but there are some problems. It must be stored in a jar. And, because of coconut oil, especially in cold weather, it can get very tough. This squeezeable homemade toothpaste version solves these problems and makes your consistency smoother!

You can use distilled water (which does greatly shorten the shelf life) or use MCT oil. And because it’s in the tube, sharing is easier than a jar. Don’t want to do it yourself? Check out these recalled toothpastes from Wellnesse. They have flavors like mint, cinnamon and strawberries.

Squeeze-produced homemade toothpaste

Here is a careful study of the ingredients and how they benefit your teeth.

• calcium – Our teeth are mainly made of calcium, so brushing helps us maintain healthy levels. Although diet is also important!
• Xylitol – This natural sweet sugar wine has a lot of hope for dental health. Research shows that it can help reduce plaque and unwanted bacteria in the mouth. It is known to reduce the number of cavity and can help recall the cavity.
• Coconut oil – Helps reduce unwanted bacteria in the oral cavity associated with cavities and gum diseases. It may also help breathe fresh.
• baking soda – Gently scrub your teeth clean and helps to turn white. It also reduces plaque and supports a healthy oral pH. Too much can cause gum irritation, which is why I like to include it with other ingredients.
• Bentonite clay – Optional, but there are many minerals that can support enamel. It also helps detoxify the mouth by adsorbing heavy metals.
• Trace minerals – Help further enhance enamel by providing it with more of the minerals needed.

Add essential oil

These add to the pleasant taste as well as antibacterial and antifungal properties. Ensure only high-quality essential oils that are safe to put into your mouth. These include cinnamon, cloves, myrrh, mint, spear, sweet orange, fennel and tea trees. Some oils are more annoying than others, such as cinnamon and cloves, so it doesn’t take much to use these oils.

Homemade toothpaste FAQ

Q: What is the best type of calcium/calcium magnesium?

I tried multiple types of calcium and magnesium powders and got feedback from dozens of readers. The consensus is that calcium carbonate is the best choice. Certain types of calcium and magnesium powders can cause problems…such as explosive reactions.

Q: Sensitive teeth/filling/vessel/children, etc. Is this OK?

Be sure to contact your dentist first before changing your dental procedures, especially if you have any dental illnesses. My kids and I have used this, including having some non-amino sugar fillers on the teeth (before I know to recall). Since all ingredients are usually considered safe to consume, I feel comfortable using it, but if you have any questions please contact your dentist.

Q: What are the common reactions in the first few weeks (with increased sensitivity for some people)?

I didn’t respond, but it seems that some people experience sensitivity when using homemade toothpaste in the first few weeks. Especially if they use commercial products for a long time or have recently undergone fluoride treatment, as the clay can bind and pull out the toxins. This doesn’t seem to be a problem with calcium powder and seems to be able to solve yourself in a few weeks. However, if you have specific questions about your situation, please contact your holistic dentist.

Q: Which is better, xylitol or stevia?

This is largely a matter of opinion. Studies have shown that xylitol is very beneficial for oral health, but is highly toxic to dogs. Be very careful so that it cannot reach any pet! I use this birch-derived non-GMO xylitol.

Q: Vodka and water?

The recipe works well with water, but many people have successfully used vodka to extend the shelf life. MCT oil is a better option and does not introduce any water into the toothpaste. In water-based products, microorganisms can begin to grow within a few days.

Q: Why is there no glycerin?

There is evidence that glycerol may inhibit mineral absorption on enamel. While this study is definitely not concluding on this topic, I would be safer to avoid this just in case. On a personal level, I saw relatives turn brown after using glycerin-based toothpaste and return to normal after switching to a different brand.

Q: Has anyone else used it for a while, besides you and your family?

I’ve received dozens of emails from people who use this toothpaste or regular memory toothpaste and have done well.

Tina provides these changes:

I started adding a little hydrogen peroxide. This makes it squeeze. I don’t use bentonite clay. Instead, I use baking soda. I also added a few drops of grapefruit seed extract. There is still the fact that coconut oil is stronger in cooler temperatures.

Melinda added:

This recipe really makes my teeth look and feel great. I like it! It may be necessary to get a squeezeable tube to see how it is.

Q: I used the first few times I had bleeding gums, is this normal?

I haven’t experienced this problem in person, but I’ve heard it from many readers. It may come from baking soda, with a high pH, ​​and in some cases it can irritate the gums. Some people report that gums irritate for days or weeks at most, eventually addressing themselves. If so, you can always reduce or omit baking soda.

Q: Which type of container is the best?

I use gotoobs made with FDA approved silicone. They are perfect for reuse, travel and squeeze without having to worry about plastic being dipped in toothpaste. I have one of them and it’s been over a year and it’s still very strong. Since they don’t leak, I also use them for the oil washing mixture.
