Purchase Or Make All Natural Toothpaste

By Leslie Ball


In our daily routine, brushing our teeth is very important, as well as showering, eating, sleeping, and so on. But do you ever take into account the chemicals that your body absorbs when you use all these products You may read the labels, but most of the ingredients make no sense to us at all, and even worse, they are more than dangerous. The good news is that you can start using all natural toothpaste now.

Let's take a look at the ingredients of a commercial toothpaste: chemicals, additives, detergents and even sweeteners. Among the chemicals and abrasives used, the worst one is propylene glycol (also used in some anti-freezes!). Some argue that fluoride is also toxic, especially in high quantities, while others recommend using a fluoride product, because it strengthens enamel.

Keep in mind that even though you buy your toothpaste from a natural food store, it may also contain various chemicals, such as sodium lauryl sulfate. This isn't really toxic, but it may harm the inside of your mouth, creating irritation or sores. Even though this can be made from natural oil, it is still considered relatively harmful.

A way to solve all this is to buy 100% natural products, created with essential oils, various herbal extracts, citric acid, baking soda or zinc oxide. You can search for a shop that sells toothpastes like this and take a look. You may end up buying other cosmetic products as well.

Another option would be to make it yourself. This way you will be able to make it with the taste that you want, to address the problems you have and, last, but not least, you can save some money. With as little as three to five ingredients, and in under ten minutes, you can have the desired toothpaste.

Use natural products such as tea tree oil to clean and refresh your dentition, salt or baking soda to whiten the teeth or fight tartar buildup, as well as essential oils. You can add orange and peppermint or eucalyptus oil if you want it to be citrus-fresh. Or, if you are more of a herbal type of person, use licorice root, Indian almond, clove, maybe a bit of cinnamon, or any other essential oil you want, but check the quantities before.

If you feel like your toothpaste isn't sweet enough, feel free to add sweeteners such as stevia or xylitol. You can also create a different type of toothpaste using clay, which will leave your teeth extremely clean. Clay also plays an important role in the remineralization of the teeth. All you have to do is add the type of clay you want, sea salt, water, preferably purified, a sweetener of your choice and whatever essential oils you consider fitted to your product.

It doesn't matter if you want to buy or make your own toothpaste, remember that there are options to help keep you safe and healthy. If you get rid of the chemicals you put in and on your body, you will be healthier and look better. All the options are right in front of you.
