Say no to toothpaste…make your own!

Keeping your teeth clean is a very important part of your daily beauty routine. A beautiful smile adds so much to your attractiveness. To help you maintain beautiful, white teeth, I  just recorded video to share with you all! The topic is homemade tooth powder. You would not believe how easy and affordable it is to make your own tooth powder. Not only does it clean your teeth beautifully, but it whitens too! You may be thinking, why make  your own when you can use regular, readily available toothpaste? Commercial toothpaste should be avoided because it contains harmful toxins such as fluoride and sodium laurel sulfate. What diseases are these ingredients linked to? Catch the video for more…

Here are the ingredients you need to make your own tooth powder:

• baking soda
• salt
• xylitol
• essential oil (optional)
• small bottle
• small funnel
• spoon and measuring cup

The baking soda neutralizes acids and sugar in the mouth, while salt acts as an abrasive agent to clean teeth. Xylitol sweetens the mix and you can also add essential oil, such as peppermint, cinnamon, lemon, or spearmint for more flavor.

Here are the steps:

1. Add baking soda (the mix should be mostly baking soda) to the cup, add about a tablespoon of salt, xylitol (to taste,)  and a few drops of essential oil.
2. Mix and taste, add more xylitol or oil if you like. It will not taste the same as toothpaste, but is much safer!
3. Use the funnel to carefully fill the bottle with tooth powder.
4. Brush  your way to whiter, cleaner, and healthier teeth!

Stay natural…stay beautiful…go green!
