My New and Improved Toothpaste

Introducing my new and improved toothpaste! To see my original toothpaste, visit Homemade Toothpaste.

For my new and improved toothpaste, I chose the following ingredients:

• Coconut oil - antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, helps kill candida overgrowth
• Clove oil - antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant, helps kill candida overgrowth
• Diatomaceous earth - remineralizes, detoxifies
• Baking soda - antibacterial, whitening, enhances plaque removal
• Sea salt - anti-inflammatory

Honestly, I don't have a "set" amount of measurements for this recipe. I start with a large spoonful of coconut oil and then add a good portion of the diatomaceous earth along with some sea salt and baking soda and mix them thoroughly together.

Then I add a bit of clove oil and remix the ingredients.

Here is a photo of the mixture when there's more dry ingredients.

The consistency also depends on how hot or cold it is and whether the coconut oil is liquid or solid. I personally like mine a bit more pasty and will keep adding more diatomaceous earth until I get it to where I want.

I love this toothpaste and in the morning I often "oil pull" with it before brushing my teeth with it. I love the flavor and textures and the way my mouth tastes and feels after using this toothpaste! I have made it several times and each time it is a little different. I've also added cinnamon to one batch, but prefer it without.
