Squeezable Homemade Remineralizing Toothpaste

By Ssherahh

Ingredients

• 5 Tablespoons Calcium powder
• 3 Tablespoons Xylitol Powder- This ingredient is not completely necessary, but just keeps it from tasting bitter. (We don't cook or consumer Xylitol, but there is some evidence that it is beneficial orally)
• 4 Tablespoons coconut oil at room temperature
• 1 tablespoon baking soda (optional)
• 2 Tablespoons Bentonite Clay or you could use additional Calcium powder
• 3 Tablespoons Distilled Water or slightly more to thin
• 30 + drops of essential oils of choice: Peppermint, Cinnamon, etc or Brushing Blend
• optional: 20-30 drops of trace minerals

Preparation

Step 1

Mix all ingredients except clay in a mini-food processor and mix well to incorporate. Once smooth, slowly add in the bentonite clay and mix by hand with a plastic utensil (bentonite clay should not come in contact with metal). If you don't have a food processor, you can use an immersion blender or even a whisk/fork in a bowl. Do not use an air-tight blender like a magic bullet as this create too much pressure
Store in a small jar or a squeezable tube like this BPA free GoTube.
Due to the nature of the coconut oil, this homemade toothpaste will be thicker when cooler and thinner when heated but should be a squeezable consistency at normal room temp (70-75 degrees). If it is too runny or too thick, try adding more water or calcium to get desired thickness. Use essential oils to taste.
Use as you would regular toothpaste.
