I picked up these sweet little palm-sized jars from Hobby Lobby today. Then I scraped the bottom of our coconut oil jar and whipped up some delicious tooth cleaner! |

We've been testing out all kinds of non-fluoride tooth cleaning products over the past months. Our favorite is some pricey Neem bark and licorice root toothpaste.
Yesterday I came across a recipe on Facebook and posted it. A friend commented with her experiences. She encouraged me to forget the glycerin, which leaves a coating on the teeth that prevents saliva from doing its job to repair teeth.
Since I have some cavities that I'd like to get rid of, instead of getting them drilled and filled at the dentist, I was excited to try the recipe!
Here is an estimate of my "recipe":
Tooth Cleaner
1/4 c. Coconut oil
1 heaping tsp. Baking Soda
6 drops essential oil (food grade)
6 drops essential oil (food grade)
1/2-1 tsp. unrefined Celtic Sea Salt
1 full dropper of liquid Stevia
Directions: add ingredients to your container and blend well.
Dip your toothbrush into the mixture and brush!
