How to make your own natural toothpaste

Gather your mason jar and prepare all of your ingredients, so that they are ready to add.

Add 2 Tbsp. of room temperature coconut oil to your mason jar.

A few of the many benefits of coconut oil are: it attacks the harmful bacteria in your mouth, can reduce plaque buildup, prevents tooth decay, and fights gum disease.

Next, add 1 Tbsp. of baking soda to your mason jar.

Baking Soda is added to naturally whiten your teeth and removes surface stains from your teeth.

Then, add 2 tsp. of Bentonite Clay.

Bentonite clay binds to unhealthy substances in the mouth such as: bacteria around the teeth, tongue, and gums. This helps to remove bacteria before it's too late.

Next, add 10 drops of pepperment essential oil.

Peppermint Oil is also benefical because it helps freshen the breath because it helps the teeth and gums fight off harmful bacteria.

Another benefit of peppermint oil is that it is anti-inflammatory and helps soothe tooth aches.

Finally, add Xylitol for a sweet, natural, and fresh taste.

Xylitol is a sweetener that does not break down like other sugars. It also helps keep a neutral pH level in the mouth and prevents bacteria from sticking to the teeth.

This is a sugar that the bacteria on our teeth cannot breakdown. This results in the bacteria dying after they ingest Xylitol.

After all ingredients are added, carefully mix the ingredients together.

After all of the ingredients are mixed, your tooth paste is ready for use!

Carefully add the mixed ingredients into your mason jar.
