I switched to using my own homemade toothpaste several months ago. I was having some swollen gum issues.
I have not had recurring gum inflammation. The dentist said my teeth are very clean, gums look great, and no cavities!
My toothpaste recipe:
* Virgin Coconut Oil (3-4 tablespoons)
* Baking Soda (3-4 tablespoons - same amount as coconut oil)
* Myrrh Oil (good for the gums - I use 1 full pipette - that's equal to 10 - 15 drops I imagine?)
* Sea salt (About 1 tablespoon - I use pink Himalayan Sea Salt because I have a lot at home, any sea salt will do. Just remember, do not use table salt)
* Grapefruit Seed Extract (I use about 10 drops - this adds a nice flavor and it helps protects gums because it's a natural antibacterial.)
Mix all of this up with a spoon.
Note: In winter this home made toothpaste concotion will be solid, but in warmer months it will be a liquid.
PS: This is my first comment after reading the site since 2008! I love earthclinic!
