DIY Tooth Powder

Looking for options for better oral health?  Make your own tooth powder for less!

Finding ways to keep your teeth and gums healthy is a hot topic these days. We already make a mouthwash that we like really well, so it was time to try making something else. We chose to make our own tooth powder. While similar recipes claim this is a "re-mineralizing" tooth powder, we found that whether or not it re-mineralizes, this recipe gets your teeth sparkling clean.  After reading through several recipe options, we came up with our own based on the ingredients we had on hand.

Here is the recipe we created:

Tooth Powder Recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c. bentonite clay

3 T calcium carbonate

1 1/2 T baking soda

1 t. cloves

1 t. cinnamon

1 t. sea salt

1 T dried mint leaves, ground to a powder

5 drops peppermint oil (or more, to taste)

Directions

Mix all ingredients together. Store in a glass jar with a lid. 

To use: Scoop a small amount into your hand. Wet toothbrush. Dip into powder. Brush and rinse.

Notes:

You can adjust the quantities to your taste and preference. Some recipes call for xylitol powder and/or hydroxyapatite powder. We didn't use either since we didn't have any on hand, but you could certainly add some to this recipe.
