All-Natural Tooth Powder DIY

2 Materials
All-natural tooth powder is an excellent alternative to traditional toothpaste. I know you would never want to give up that blue tube of joy and happiness, but if you are looking to eliminate toxins in your oral health care, this tooth powder is easy to make and tastes great too!
My family has been extremely supportive of all of the changes I’ve made in this last year – from diet to cleaning products to health and beauty products. The rule is that they have to try whatever is “new” and if they hate it, they can go back to using their normal product or food. I don’t want to force my all-natural lifestyle on the boys. They are usually reluctant to try, but they are great sports and normally like the new product.


Color me surprised when Hubby asked me one day, “can you make tooth powder?” Hummm…. let me think on that one for a second. Uh… ok…!!!!
Tooth powder has been around forever, and there are many different versions. The one I like is super simple and basic:


2 TBSP Baking Soda


2 TBSP Bentonite Clay Powder


1 TBSP Sea Salt or Himala Salt


20+ Drops Peppermint Essential Oil


Glass Container



Mix all of the ingredients together. Add more baking soda and essential oil drops to your taste preference.
I like to keep a small teaspoon to scoop the tooth powder into the palm of my hand. Wet the toothbrush and dip it into the powder. Brush as normal. You will find that you will need to reapply the powder a couple of times during brushing. This is normal. Rinse and enjoy your sparkly clean teeth!
