There are literally hundreds of different toothpastes out there, most of which contain questionable ingredients. I am letting you know that the easiest way to avoid all of the dubious ingredients in toothpaste is to just say no. That is correct-toothpaste is completely optional. That said, I do prefer to use it. My favorite DIY version that I personally make and use requires no measuring! Here is the recipe:

Ingredients

(Widely Available Online)

• one glass jar

• MCT Oil

• Xylitol

• A Blender or food processor

• Peppermint Oil

• Calcium Carbonate

ANY Suitable container with a cover, preferably glass

Step 1

Measure out a small amount of Xylitol (half of your container should be more than enough)

Step 2

Pour your xylitol into a blender

Step 3

Blend the xylitol into powder so it looks like confectioner’s sugar

Step 4

Pour the MCT oil into your container so it takes up about half of the container

Step 5

Place a few drops of peppermint oil into the container with the MCT oil until it tastes minty enough for you

Step 6

Slowly mix in the powdered xylito until it is sweet enough for you

(warning: it will be very runny)

Step 7

Slowly add the calcium carbonate until you have a paste

Step 8

Enjoy!!!
