I started to have brown streaks in my teeth from demineralization- they went away and I started noticing results after using this toothpaste after 3-4 days! (along with a high protein and calcium diet and removing foods with high phytic acid and oil pulling)- thanks for this video!
Update: The brown streaks went away because of the polishing away of the enamel- the grains of the baking soda are too coarse and have stripped away my enamel! You can't get that back! Using baking soda to whiten teeth is ok occasionally but I started using this homemade toothpaste daily since the past year and now see my enamel has started to come off my teeth...be careful with the baking soda...
And add vitamin K2 (not just "K" nor K1") to your diet. K2 comes only from eating meat and dairy from livestock that are grass (not grain, nor just "vegetarian") fed. These animals' bodies (unlike humans') can convert the vitamin "K" or "K1" in green grass into K2, which is the only nutrient that directs calcium in the human body into bones (such as teeth), and to leave the joints and soft tissues such as breast (where calcium microcalcifications can lead to cancer), inner artery linings (where calcium compounds can combine with cholesterol to form plaque as a patch to prior free radical oxygen ion injury), blood vessel valves, muscles and so on, where calcium deposits can form hard deposits and disrupt function. Also, drinking daily a glass or two of water with a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar can in a week or few dissolve misplaced calcium deposits in the body (such as in bone spurs); and then the K2 can direct the dissolved calcium into the bones, such as teeth.
Sophie, I am very impressed with your video and the fact that you actually used the product right there at the end. You are very thorough & organized which kept your audience from having to watch a great deal of "nothing footage". Thank you for this. I am happy to share and like!
I have this recipe to which i add bentonite clay and plastic or wood utensils to mix. sometimes metals react with the ingredients rendering them ineffective. also as one commenter noted, diet plays a role.
Baking soda is too harsh for my super sensitive teeth. Could I replace it with bentonite clay or diatomaceous earth? Would either of these react with silver or metal fillings in the mouth
Great video, thanks! I would add magnesium powder to go with the calcium powder. Calcium by itself will not absorb into the bone. That is the job of magnesium. Coconut oil is great, but it turns solid when cold, and that can make the toothpaste hard. Powdered clove can be added for sensitive gums/teeth. It is also very anti-bacterial, so that's a plus.
Stand I agree, Magnesium is important, except its best absorbed interdermally, so my suggestion would be: get yourself some Mg Chloride, make Mg oil and spray on skin :) and use the above toothpaste to brush your teeth. Any toothpaste you make yourself is better than the shop bought one. I make mine mixing diatomaceous earth (food grade), coconut oil, peppermint essential oil and xylitol.
@@ellespooky3752 the thing no to do. If you have a lack of calcium or vitamin d, you need to correct them properly and not by adding these things in the toothpaste. As I said earlier, Carbonate calcium is used for its abrasive effects and that's all.
Sophie, I can't wait to try this. I just received your second book Gorgeous For Life- wow!! It's full of so many wonderful ideas for mind, body, and spirit. My husband is going crazy over your food recipes as well. I recommend this book highly!!! PS. I love what you wrote about gratitude.
Powdered Horsetail herb has all kinds of silica in it, which is good for bones, teeth, skin, hair. How about putting some of that in there? It's all natural.
I read awhile back baking soda can be harsh on teeth and wear down the enamel over time. I use Vicco toothpaste and tooth powder, it's vegan and has all natural ayurvedic herbs. I'll add the calcium carbonate into the powder
I bought a shop bought version or pretty much exactly the same ingredients (calc carb, bi-carb, spearmint oil, etc) as yours and I can't say that's it's helped with remineralising my teeth. I used to drink a lot of lemon water without a straw and this caused enamel erosion on my teeth. I had high hopes for this product for my teeth, but was quite disappointed as it did nothing for remineralising. On the plus side, it did help with reducing bleeding gums
hmmmm - it can't harm to use this. And I totally get the thing from lemon water. That is why you need to clean your teeth BEFORE drinking lemon water. Otherwise, the acid attaches to the bacteria on your mouth and on your teeth.
Nope, sori Sophie, the acid doesn't attach to teeth as much as it weakens the enamel, thus brushing after could take reduce enamel. And yes, it COULD really hurt to use your recipe for toothpaste after even a short while!! First, the essential oils and the coconut oil and the xylitol are well known to destabilise the good bacteria in your oral cavity. Definitely need them to protect from gum recession
Hiya Sophie... just found your channel. Really loving all of your DIY videos. I follow this recipe exactly, but instead of just calcium carbonate, I buy the calcium & magnesium + Vitamin D3 capsules. Just open them up, measure them and add it that way. The magnesium is so very important for your teeth. Sometimes I'll also add some trace minerals for a little extra kick! Thanks so much for the video. I will never go back to using store bought toothpaste again. Much love! :)
I've never before made toothpaste because I'd never come across a recipe which appealed to me. This one does! May I ask how the toothpaste should be stored? Also, I'd like to know for how long it will keep. Thank you. ...
I am appalled I never answered this. If I am using within 3 months, I keep it in my bathroom cabinet. If I want to store it longer, I keep it in the fridge. So sorry for my horribly late reply!!!
Hi, I've tried many of your recipes and really like a lot of them, thank you! I watched the one on brushing with charcoal, ordered it and started brushing my teeth with it. Then I came across some articles saying that charcoal can actually stain and discolour your teeth if you have crowns or bridges. Have you come across this before?
Great video. I am out of my Baking soda, coconut oil and peppermint tooth paste so I am glad I found this video. Can I use swerve or sweet drops instead of Xylitol ?
I just discovered you today. What a joy you are to watch! I eat organically and am always looking for better options for everything I use - for my body and in my home. I'm going to have a great time looking over all of your videos to see what other topics you've covered. Thanks. [new subbie] :)
You should be fine with regular coconut oil. Was is it the fridge? That would make it very hard. As I live in So Cal, my coconut oil is always soft. But if you live somewhere cool, it might actually be a good idea to use fractionated coconut oil. It will make it a lot more runny, but choose your evils!!!
Thanks so much for this recipe! What would you suggest for someone like me who has children and a husband who does not want to dip their toothbrush into the glass jar along with everyone else in the family? If I provide them with their own glass jar, that would be lots of jars. I appreciate your advice. Thanks!
Hi About the 5 ingredients, can i only 3 of them instead of 5. As xylitol + spearmint essential oil, for smell & taste purpose. With only calcium carbonate + baking soda + coconut oil, will it defect remineralization purpose?
New subscriber here! Is there an alternative oil you can use in this recipe? I am allergic to coconut oil, unfortunately. Also, I love you videos so far. They're very helpful and straight to the point! :)
you could substitute the coconut oil for seseme oil. It will likely give a thinner consistency but it's also remineralizing. you can use also use seseme oil for oil pulling. hope this helps.
So i asked my dentist about toothpastes with baking soda. He said that the grains of it are too abrasive for our teeth & can break down enamel. Have you researched anything debunking his claim? Thanks!
thnku vry mch for sooooooooo GREAT videos ..nd i find u so beautiful...ok i wanna knw tht how long we can keep this mixture nd do we hv to keep in refrigerator..or??
Xylitol is good for the teeth, likely despite the feel. Compare it to Listerine or rubbing alcohol on a wound. I'm not a Dr. and I haven't done any tests, but I'm very sure that you should trust me.
read ur comments. so u recommend baking soda toothpaste one a week?? is the plain baking soda receipe or ur receipe with added baking soda ur talking about?
Sophie, I made it! And it's good. I'll get the hang of making it more perfect each time I make it. Thanks again for sharing this easy to follow recipe.
SOOOO, my husband and I were doing the GAPS diet and we read in one of the many books that Xylitol is found in rat poison...I could be wrong but it said something about it being derived from some nasty things??? What so you know about it and have you heard of this before? Thank you Sophie!!!
Is there any alternative to xylitol powder? Something simple like honey or maple syrup or coconut sugar? Anything else? I don't have xylitol powder, I can't currently go anywhere to purchase such a thing and I can't afford to just buy it online, but I do have honey and coconut sugar. Would either of those two ingredients work?
Arrowroot power + kaolin/bentonite clay + calcium powder and cacao powder. (This one is the least abrasive, no enamel stripping and no coconut oil, no baking soda). Cacao and clay works as a cleansing tool, trace minerals as well
As there is baking soda in this, should we use this daily or once a week? Baking Soda is said to make your teeth super sensetive so should we use it less often or would this mixture be the same as any toothpaste?
I find that carbonite is better for a toothpaste. I designed this recipe to be simple, so anyone could make it. If you want a more calcium-rich toothpaste, then by all means add some magnesium citrate.
Hi Sophie. I enjoy your videos and watching you on the Home and Family show. When I made this toothpaste it hardened so much that it is difficult to get on the toothbrush. Any suggestions?
Really cool. But just curious as to why we need to remineralise our teeth and with what exactly (as in what elements)? Have the products we been using over the years and the water we drink too abrasive/corrosive on our teeth?
Google ....what foods/ drinks break down the tooth enamel . Also just aging is wear and tear on your teeth , as well as using too hard of tooth brush bristles , and brushing to vigorously ( over doing it ).
I love the, "Oh it smells so good!" Yeah! You shook that mint oil all over the dang kitchen! How do you feel about consuming your concoction? It would be nice to have a toothpaste you don't have to spit out in all the time. I like brushing my teeth in the movie theater and elevators, which makes discarding the tooth scum rather difficult when I don't have my spit satchel.
I mean, it's not ideal, but everything is already in your mouth and you swallow your spit all day, if you use #logic, it's not that sick. @@adiksadiatabs
Hello sophie! Is your toothpaste recipe abrasive to the teeth?? I'm currently using baking soda and coconut oil however it damaged my gum line and it made my teeth very sensitive so I'm looking for an alternative and I came across your recipe thank you!!
you make brushing your teeth fun :) haha MY teeth are darker in the middle and my fang teeth feel like they have holes in them, this will restore? I smoke for medicinal purposes and recently changed my died, no meat or eggs since sep. 7 2016 and I been working out like an animal.... I need to keep my teeth, I had a couple back ones break and got 3 pulled from smoking and eating candy at night and sleeping lol but my front ones compliment my face haha
have seen this made with clay of various types... any pros of CC over clay? is one less abrasive than the other? obviously the fact calcium carbonate is a 'chemical' might make this iffy for some people
I'm very disappointed in with the xylitol recommendation. It is from NOW foods, made from corn and from China. Sophie, do you care about this? If so, please show you do.
@@tawana2inspire Xylitol has teeth cleaning and restorative properties. That's why people are putting it in their homemade toothpaste. You might want to research it before bashing.
I heard from a Dr that it's really dangerous to ingest essential oils IF it's not FOOD GRADE. You can't just use any essential oil. Most of them I've seen say Do not ingest, or Topical use only.
hi there i put my diy toothpaste and leave it in the fridge and of course it gets hard. do you have any opinion about this? also do you rinse your mouth after to avoid harshness on tooth enamel? thank you i appreciate
I don't refrigerate mine, but it's a personal choice. It usually warms up quickly, right? And I do rinse my mouth with just water to remove some of the "grit"
There is a great need for a natural dental adhesive that millions of people who wear dentures would benefit from. they are filled with chemicals and additives . Please look into you bag of diy tricks and find a natural organic solution for this, Thanks for all you do.
Hi Sophie, I don't know what went wrong. I made this exactly as you stated and it is quite hard. I have to dig in it to get any out. Any thoughts? Thanks
It's not you, Sue. The right ratio can depend on a lot of things. I personal prefer a "harder" toothpaste, but you can try to mix in more coconut oil to thin it down!
thank you darling! but can´t the particles from baking soda grand the protection layer from the teeth? like baking powder … it´s also not always the best decision in long term view, what you think?
HI Rob...do you mean the left over from the ingredients? well...the coconut oil lasts a very long time, as well as the calcium powder and the essential oil...so you just keep them for the next time you are making the toothpaste...I make this toothpaste for the whole family so every 2-3 weeks I am making another one...
I've been using this concoction for about 8-years:
BAKING SODA
COCONUT OIL
CLOVE OIL
HIMALAYAN SALT
DISTILLED WATER
Qi Huna - I love this blend!
How much of each do you take?
Why Himalayan salt? ... and no other kind of salt?
Thanks
This is a real natural blend. I use almost the same with white oak bark powder and celtic salt.

About the 5 ingredients, can i only 3 of them instead of 5.
As xylitol + spearmint essential oil, for smell & taste purpose.
With only calcium carbonate + baking soda + coconut oil, will it defect remineralization purpose?
Can I just soak this on my teeth for a while? Or even just the calcium in a paste?

just what I needed thanks great tips
Hello, I really like this video but I can not use coconut oil, is there another oil that I can use? Thank you.
Calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate? I had heard that it should be phosphate. Appreciate any information that helps to better understand Thank you
Any good substitute for spearmint oil i dont like minty taste

I am in 2 minds about this. I think using it once a week is fine.
The "most abrasive thing" we all use is just our .... = "toothbrush", even if you use the most soft one.
Is it safe to use coconut oil with white fillings and crowns? I'm wondering if it will come loose

Thank you lovely lady! 😊
Wow ! Love this ty ty ty . Never will I buy toothpaste again ♥️👍
Have you seen good results and our changed recipe for remineralinz teeth since this was posted and how about adding bentonite clay for detoxification
I was curious about using xylitol when you already have cavities? It kind of hurts my teeth when it gets on them...like any other sugar really.
Xylitol is good for the teeth, likely despite the feel. Compare it to Listerine or rubbing alcohol on a wound. I'm not a Dr. and I haven't done any tests, but I'm very sure that you should trust me.
I thought baking soda was to harsh
very cool, what do you think about using a mouthrinse after? will you lose the benefits of the toothpaste? do you spit in the sink ever?
Is it good enough for cleanig teeth with braces if made without baking soda
I love to make it for my self
You should give it a whirl, Firshta!!
read ur comments. so u recommend baking soda toothpaste one a week?? is the plain baking soda receipe or ur receipe with added baking soda ur talking about?
Can u use this receipe with a electric toothbrush and use it on fillings and a capped tooth?

What will be its shelf life?
SOOOO, my husband and I were doing the GAPS diet and we read in one of the many books that Xylitol is found in rat poison...I could be wrong but it said something about it being derived from some nasty things??? What so you know about it and have you heard of this before? Thank you Sophie!!!

Bad for your teeth
You can use stevia
Xylitol has benefits for the teeth
I had to put mine in the blender before I added it it was too corse
use trace minerals
hello, how many oz or cups for each ingredient please .
Should you rinse well afterward, or is it safe to leave a little residue on your teeth?
It's safe! But I rinse to get rid of all the grit :)
Thank you so much! ^_^
What is the amount / measurement of each ingredient used?
Love this!!!!!
Do you have a replacement for coconut oil? I am
Allergic to ir
Arrowroot power + kaolin/bentonite clay + calcium powder and cacao powder. (This one is the least abrasive, no enamel stripping and no coconut oil, no baking soda). Cacao and clay works as a cleansing tool, trace minerals as well

It's different for each person. I use it every other day.
It's too abrasive to use a lot and maybe once a wk. I would not use it myself ,
Millie,
baking soda is too harsh for my super sensitive teeth? Do you have any alternatives to it?
Sophie Uliano Why carbonite and not citrate? And shouldn't we add magnesium? Shouldn't you have that to activate the calcium?
I find that carbonite is better for a toothpaste. I designed this recipe to be simple, so anyone could make it. If you want a more calcium-rich toothpaste, then by all means add some magnesium citrate.
Hi Sophie. I enjoy your videos and watching you on the Home and Family show. When I made this toothpaste it hardened so much that it is difficult to get on the toothbrush. Any suggestions?
Totally - Add just a bit more coconut oil to loosen up the mixture!
would this be safe to use with a electric toothbrush.
What do you suggest in place of mint; I have a high intolerance to it?
really, whatever flavor you like! Clove might be good!
Really cool. But just curious as to why we need to remineralise our teeth and with what exactly (as in what elements)? Have the products we been using over the years and the water we drink too abrasive/corrosive on our teeth?
Yes - we brush too hard, drink acidic drinks, and just get general recession as we age (lovely, right??)

I need to keep my teeth, I had a couple back ones break and got 3 pulled from smoking and eating candy at night and sleeping lol but my front ones compliment my face haha
I did this recipe, it hardened and it is very crumbly and hard to get out and into brush
have seen this made with clay of various types... any pros of CC over clay? is one less abrasive than the other? obviously the fact calcium carbonate is a 'chemical' might make this iffy for some people
Baking soda is too harsh for my very sensitive teeth. Have you tried any of the various clays and if so did they work?
What is the power
Hello! For how long can I use?!
What are the measurements
I'm very disappointed in with the xylitol recommendation. It is from NOW foods, made from corn and from China. Sophie, do you care about this? If so, please show you do.
There's something called Birch Xylitol (from birch, not corn)
Skip that. I don't know why everything has to be sweet. These people put sugar in nose spraus, perfumes and everything we eat. Its crazy.
@@tawana2inspire Xylitol has teeth cleaning and restorative properties. That's why people are putting it in their homemade toothpaste. You might want to research it before bashing.
Does this eliminate sensitivity?kly clarify>thanks
I heard from a Dr that it's really dangerous to ingest essential oils IF it's not FOOD GRADE. You can't just use any essential oil. Most of them I've seen say Do not ingest, or Topical use only.
You're absolutely right! The one I'm using is food safe!
hi there i put my diy toothpaste and leave it in the fridge and of course it gets hard. do you have any opinion about this? also do you rinse your mouth after to avoid harshness on tooth enamel? thank you i appreciate
I don't refrigerate mine, but it's a personal choice. It usually warms up quickly, right? And I do rinse my mouth with just water to remove some of the "grit"
There is a great need for a natural dental adhesive that millions of people who wear dentures would benefit from. they are filled with chemicals and additives . Please look into you bag of diy tricks and find a natural organic solution for this, Thanks for all you do.
Hi Sophie, I don't know what went wrong. I made this exactly as you stated and it is quite hard. I have to dig in it to get any out. Any thoughts? Thanks
It's not you, Sue. The right ratio can depend on a lot of things. I personal prefer a "harder" toothpaste, but you can try to mix in more coconut oil to thin it down!
Thank you, lovely!! And I'm LOVING your books!!!!!!!!!! xxx
thank you darling! but can´t the particles from baking soda grand the protection layer from the teeth? like baking powder … it´s also not always the best decision in long term view, what you think?
DS, I think you bring up a good point. This recipe is designed to be remineralized, but you probably only need to use it a few times a week!
thank you :-)
Why can't we use peppermint leave
What ya do with all the Xtra stuff left over freeze it or throw it out or what?
HI Rob...do you mean the left over from the ingredients? well...the coconut oil lasts a very long time, as well as the calcium powder and the essential oil...so you just keep them for the next time you are making the toothpaste...I make this toothpaste for the whole family so every 2-3 weeks I am making another one...
can I use clove oil instead of spearmint essential oil
I'd be careful with clove oil because it can be a little strong for your gums and soft tissues in your mouth
Thanks, dear, can I skip the essential oil
I like when people singing while toothbrushing 😛
Would this help with translucent teeth?
Edit: Please, answer me! I really need help! Huhuhu
Dont see the amounts of each to use
Superb Sophie
Luv u Dear
Allah Bless you
Can I mixed bentonite clay with your recipe?
You can!
