How to Make Your Own Toothpaste: Tooth Whitening Powder and Mouthwash

You can make your own natural mouth care products at home with a few simple ingredients. The first step, of course, is obtaining these products. I would recommend using a reputable wholesaler online. The one I use has no minimum order, is very reasonably priced, and sells high quality products.

A simple online search using Google or Yahoo will yield a large amount of herbal product wholesalers from which to choose. Since you are buying in bulk, expect to spend around $30 for all your products needed here, however, they will last for a very long time depending on how often you use them. These ingredients can also be used for a number of other remedies and household needs. So don't think that you will be stuck with large amounts left over that you will never use.

We'll start with how to prepare your own natural toothpaste:
You will need:
A Jar with an air tight lid (to store your toothpaste once it ready)
A mixing bowl (to mix your ingredients)
4 Drops of clove oil (optional, use for sensitive teeth to relieve pain)
1/4 Cup vegetable glycerin (this is the base. It will also help dilute oils)
1/4 Cup of white cosmetic clay (Clay is slightly abrasive, it will not hurt, and used to remove plaque. )
1/4 Cup of baking soda (Freshen breath, clean mouth, and whiten teeth)
1/8 Cup sea salt, fine grain (Sea salt contains many minerals that will help tighten and strengthen your gums.)
6 Drops of essential peppermint oil (for flavoring)

In your mixing bowl, Mix all ingredients together. Make sure it is completely blended to a very smooth consistency. If you have trouble achieving the right consistency, add a few more drops of vegetable glycerin until you get.
After its mixed, scrap your paste into the jar and seal it tight. Store in a cool dry place in your bathroom. Make sure you do not store it in direct sunlight as that will dry it out.
If you dislike the idea of dipping your toothbrush into your jar of toothpaste, many websites sell empty toothpaste tubes as well. Again, an online search should wield many results for you.
