Buy All Natural Toothpaste Or Make Your Own

By Leslie Ball


Brushing our teeth is part of our daily routine, like washing our face, taking a shower, eating, and so on. But do you ever stop to think about what do these products you use every day contain, especially your toothpaste, which goes in your mouth? Maybe you have read the labels, but you probably don't understand what most of the ingredients are. That's why you may consider using an all natural toothpaste from now on.

If you look at the ingredients from any commercial toothpaste you will see lots of chemicals, additives, detergents and sweeteners. There are lots of them, but some are not dangerous (or at least not really toxic). However, propylene glycol is one of the worst, and it is used in lots of products. Fluoride is also widely used, and although some dentists recommend it, others say that it can be toxic is large amounts.

Keep in mind that even though you buy your toothpaste from a natural food store, it may also contain various chemicals, such as sodium lauryl sulfate. This isn't really toxic, but it may harm the inside of your mouth, creating irritation or sores. Even though this can be made from natural oil, it is still considered relatively harmful.

To avoid using products that still have chemicals you can search for all natural toothpastes, made from essential oils, plant extracts, baking soda, citric acid or zinc oxide, mainly. Probably you will also find various other cosmetic products, 100% natural, that you would like to try.

You can always choose to create it yourself, so you can be sure it will have the perfect taste, solve the problems you are dealing with and why not, save some money. You only need a few ingredients and about ten minutes to get it done and the results are astonishing.

You can chose to put tea tree oil, to clean and refresh your teeth, baking soda or sea salt against tartar buildup, or various essential oils for a citrus-fresh or minty taste. If you prefer herbal mixes, use Indian almond, licorice root, clove, eucalyptus or peppermint oil. Another option could be to add cinnamon oil, for an exotic taste. It's all up to you.

If you find that your toothpaste is not sweet enough you can use stevia, powder or liquid or xylitol. You can also try a different type of paste, the one made with clay. Even if it's hard for you to believe it, using clay will leave your teeth very clean. Also, it helps with the remineralization of the teeth. There are different types of clay that you can use. Just chose one, add purified water, salt, a sweetener that you like and whatever essential oil you want

In conclusion, even if you choose to buy your toothpaste or make it, as long as you use natural products, your body will thank you. Think about all the chemicals that you save your body from absorbing. And the best part is how good you will look and feel.
