Homemade Toothpaste Recipe
If you’re tired of boring store-bought toothpaste, try making your own at home! This simple recipe uses natural ingredients and can help improve your oral health. After using this homemade toothpaste for a year, my dentist noticed a significant improvement in my gum health.
Ingredients:
- 🥥 1 cup of coconut oil (in liquid form)
- 🌿 1 tablespoon of bentonite clay
- 🥄 1 tablespoon of baking soda
- 🍃 1 tablespoon of stevia
- 🌱 20 drops of peppermint essential oil (or your preferred flavor)
Optional:
- 🖌️ 1 tablespoon of activated charcoal (for whitening)
Instructions:
1. In a pot, mix the liquid coconut oil with the bentonite clay, baking soda, and stevia.
2. If using activated charcoal, add it to the mixture at this point.
3. Add 5-20 drops of your preferred essential oil for flavor.
4. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and leave the mixture overnight, stirring occasionally to achieve the desired consistency.
5. Transfer the toothpaste into small jars for storage and use.
Bentonite clay is a powerful detoxifier that can help remove toxins from your mouth and body. It also makes a great face mask or hair mask!
Additional Oral Health Tips:
- 🥗 Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals
- 🧴 Use a natural mouthwash alongside your homemade toothpaste

Remember, while this homemade toothpaste has worked well for some, it’s always best to consult with your dentist before making significant changes to your oral care routine.
