Yes, you can prepare your own toothpaste at home! It does not matter whether you are good or bad at culinary experiments, the toothpaste recipes are simple to follow.

The base
Mix the following ingredients to make the toothpaste base:

  • Baking soda

  • Salt
  • Vegetable glycerin

The flavor
Use one or more of the following ingredients to add flavor to your toothpaste:

  • Clove oil

  • Peppermint
  • Lemon oil
  • Cinnamon

If your teeth are sensitive or your teeth and gums are affected by some disease, ask your dentist before using the homemade toothpaste. The homemade toothpaste is not only beneficial for you dental health, it also helps renew the confidence in your smile. Moreover, this toothpaste is not expensive at all.

The only thing that homemade toothpaste does not have is fluoride, our teeth’s friend. If your drinking water contains fluoride, you do not need it in your toothpaste. It is a good idea to consult your dentist before starting to use the homemade toothpaste.

Happy smiling!
