Homemade Tooth Powder





My husband I have not used toothpaste for a year or so now, and have definitely noticed the difference. We find this home made tooth powder leaves our teeth fresher and cleaner. It only has three ingredients. Baking soda, Peppermint oil and Stevia (natural plant sweetener available at all health food stores). Baking soda is known to neutralize plaque acid and eliminate bacteria because of its high alkaline properties. It is also known to fight gum infection and inflammation. Give it a try!

In a jar half fill with baking soda, add a tsp of stevia powder and about 5 drops of peppermint oil. You can add more or less of the stevia or oil depending on your preference. Shake the jar really well.

Wet your toothbrush and dip it in to the powder to coat and then brush as usual!
