My career was in Dental and Oral Surgery Assisting. I used to believe fluoride was helping, like so many still do. Now that I know better, I've done all I can to make sure my family and friends don't consume ANY, and I feel bad to have administered it to so many kids. God Bless you Heidi for sharing your knowledge with those that want to learn. 🙏

You look lovely! We've been using baking soda, activated charcoal powder, Himalayan pink salt, black walnut hull powder (for systemic yeast), bentinite clay, and sometimes: ground clove, or ground peppermint herb, or lavender powder. I'll have to try some of the ingredients listed here. The reason your teeth are healthier after you stop using commercial toothpaste, is because they have glycerine, which coats, and dors not allow the teeth to remineralize.

I've been brushing my teeth with baking soda for almost 10 years my teeth are very healthy

thank you for that advise about clogging the drain, I hadn't considered that at all

My mother is a dentist so I asked her what she thought about this. She said: “baking soda is good but it doesn’t have fluoride.” I like this idea a lot!

I've been using coconut oil, baking soda and peppermint oil for over a year. My dentist complimented my teeth and was surprised I wasn't using store bought toothpaste. Then of course they had to say I wasn't getting any fluoride. Ugh!! I will try your recipe with the calcium and magnesium. Thank you!

The best natural whitening I've try is coconut oil and turmeric powder mixed together. Unbelievable, but two minutes brushing with this mix you will see an immediate results. The only thing is that you have to take care with the clothes because they can get stained. I promise, you, it works!

I'm loving your videos. You might want to consider writing your recipes in the description for easy reference. Thanks for sharing your time, effort, and experiences!

Something that is rarely mentioned with using coconut oil is the fact that this could build up in your drain causing a blockage. Always spit your residue onto a paper towel and discard in garbage can.

I have been oil pulling for 4-5 years now, started 7 days/week, now 3 or 4 times a week. My gums and teeth are in much better condition than before; dental cleanings are done in less than half the time than before; after rinsing for 20 min with coconut oil, spit in garbage and rinse a moment with warm salt water then plain water just to get everything out of your mouth; You need to do the coconut oil pulling as soon as you get up in a.m. before eating or drinking; I prefer to melt the coconut oil before I use it but some people use it solid and it melts in your mouth ( Its important to use virgin cold pressed organic coconut oil) Since I started doing this, I never get sick with flus and colds. It removes bacteria from your mouth and pulls toxins out as well.

You are one smart woman, thank you for sharing with us😊💚☘️

Greetings Heidi and Patrick. Am so happy that I found a place of comfort so that I can lay my head.

We used something very similar to the "tooth powder" when I was Civil War reenacting. Not quite so fancy, but the same basic idea. And it was surprising how clean it left your teeth feeling. Thank you for sharing Heidi !

Thank you very much, it is a great idea without fluor, that is a dangerous ingredient. God bless u. Greta from the Eu.

I make my own with coconut oil, activated charcoal (which is super silly to brush your teeth with), stevia, and powdered freeze dried strawberries! If I'm making some just for me, because I took horrible care of my teeth decades ago during a really dark period of life + old cavities from childhood that seem to be getting worse, I will add cinnamon and clove oil for pain (no strawberry powder). If I can grind up eggshells small enough to a powder, I will add those in. I will definitely be adding the clay and magnesium, though! I have used clay based toothpaste before and love how it made my teeth feel.

Great video. Glad you mentioned oil pulling. I make my own as well but have not used bentonite clay. I will get some. Glad that you mentioned the calcium and mag as well. I bought mag powder by mistake once and have needed to find a way to use it

Thank you for all your help! I've been using just coconut oil and good to hear about the additions! 🙂

I have been using a mixture of coconut oil and baking soda. I was worried about using the baking soda all the time. So thanks so much for doing this video. Going to definitely try your recipe.

Thanks so much for sharing! Gonna try this!

Great idea. Thank you.

Love your videos. Always making notes and making recipes!

Trying this tonight , super excited !! Thank you ❤️

I really enjoy your suggestions. You are awesome!!!!

Thanks for the recipe. I will be adding the mag&cal.

YAY!!!! Another goodie for my shelf! Thank u, thank u, thank u!!! God Bless! ✝💞✝

Thanks for sharing your recipe with us.

yet another great teaching video. thanks Heidi!

Thank you for this video.

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to start oil pulling and was looking for info.

I made infused coconut oil with plantain. Tightens those gums! I agree coconut oil whitens teeth amazingly well. Thanks for the recipe!

I love your videos. I'm so glad I found you. Take care and God bless.

Your teeth look great on the video will definitely try this. Will be priceless onto to me to be able to stay away from the dentist! Ha HA and many thanks from the old farm girl.

Thank you...we use your recipe but add some sea salt as well. My husband and I love this stuff!!

I am 62 yrs old and have ude baking soda and hydrogen peroxide my entire life and i brush my teeth ALOT. Always used really soft tooth brush and brushed teeth gently...never had a cavity.....four kids all grown and they never had a cavity

Thank You for sharing 😇

another awesome video, very informative have to try that one day, keep the awesome videos coming, god bless you and your family.

THANK YOU

We have a lot of the same techniques ,philosophies , recipes, and theories. Appreciate your wholesome lovers knowledge and experience and the additions that you have bestowed upon me are brilliant concluded for me a lot of things that I had previously thought about it maybe doing and thinking that it made sense or was Common Sense however, this is not so common anymore and is Once Upon a Time with living that has became commercialized and propaganda that and just used as a monetary means for other companies has taken the whole point out of wood it is that we're trying to do which is preserved nurture and grow and live in the confines of our own means I'm doing so so I appreciate you for taking it up a notch and a step back as well and implementing the integrity and the benefits of the natural holistic approach to life and just living in your truth

Thank you, since i came to the uk using store toothpaste my teeth are now yellow. Been wanting to make my own

Thanks ❤

Thank you

...And All the Time, God is Good :) Just found you. Thanks for sharing the vid and loved how you opened your vid.

Thank You very much for your informative as well as interesting videos! I Love them all! I have to say,your teeth are so white and shiny!✨

Lol. I loved this Ma'am. "I'm not a Doctor, nor am i a Dentist". Wish you had said this before my teeth fell out. Lol. Peace and Love to you and your's Ma'am.

Here's the recipe we use for remineralizing tooth powder:4 Tablespoons Bentonite Clay3 Tablespoons Calcium Powder1 Tablespoon Baking Soda (optional)2 Tablespoons Powdered Mint Leaf (optional, or can use essential oil)- Powder in blender, food processor or coffee grinder.1 tablespoon Cinnamon Powder (or this kind)1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon of Cloves Powder1 Tablespoon (or more to taste) Xylitol PowderEssential oils for taste- completely optional but Peppermint, Spearmint and Cinnamon are good.

As someone who has suffered from gingivitis and periodontal disease almost my whole life. As soon as I started using coco oil, H2O2 and baking soda, my bleeding went away. My gums tightened up. My breath stopped smelling bad. The bad taste I had in my mouth constantly, went away. Tonsil stones, GONE. Not saying it works for everyone but fluoride is honestly terrible for people who have sensitive mouths.

Ive been brushing my teeth with coconut oil and bicarbonate of soda for oever 2 years without any problem.

I love it! I'm definitely making some! :)

That’s how I roll! I have a coffee mug with a big ball of yarn on it and underneath it it says this is how I roll😹

I like this. I've been learning on how everything we use that's typically big name brand is shotgunned with a bunch of chemicals, toxins, n body harming agents that are made to slowly poison us overtime from infancy from laundry detergent, dish soap, body washes, tooth paste/mouthwash, etc. I found a website called garners garden that makes alot of natural n organic soaps, hair care, bug repellent oil, and yes oral care - a tooth powder the same way u do but with a hydrogen peroxide pre rinse n mouthwash. What else do you have as a natural

👍

Hello, Hedi and friends !!! Love your channel!!! I have started making my own toothpaste also with the coconut oil. Recently I saw a video here on youtube about wheat grass for the mouth and health have you heard about this? Oh, and for sure no spitting this down the drains it just might be a clog in the makins!

Best to grow your own stevia if you can! Local nurseries should carry starts, or can order some if you ask. And remember when brushing with coconut oil, don't spit it in the sink. Spit it in a compost or garbage because in the cold pipes, the coconut oil will harden and clog. Even if you run hot water for awhile, it will get cold further down the pipe and harden again.

Spilling things is how I roll too!

Yes but tel your family if they use the powder every day they will wear away the enamel of the teeth... Then your left with a yellow look... Great video and toothpaste

GOD BLESS YA'LL ALWAYS~

I've just tried the link for the magnesium citrate. Many of the reviews have said their product has changed and is NOT pure magnesium citrate. Just wanted to inform and share that, as I am very adamant about honesty and trust in what i am buying, as I'm sure you are seeing as though you have all these great videos and have stopped supporting companies who provide toxic and harmful products.

So are we tasting nice and minty? Smelling like Rose's. We are connected as one. God is good all the time. Welcome to the 5D.

I absolutely love your channel Heidi! I so happy I found you😄 I use XylItol which is supposed to be good for teeth in our home made toothpaste, I notice you use stevia? Can you tell me why? Thank you!

Great job on the video well done . When storing do you vac pack the Mason jar or use oxygen observers? Going to give this a try looks yummy 😋 have a goodnight and thanks for sharing

Hi Rain... I really enjoy your videos and I have a question. What do you think of brushing your teeth with Activated Charcoal on your toothpaste? It's supposed to be detoxifying

Thank you :)

Is it more cost efficient over time to make your own toothpaste than to buy it at the store? Thank you for posting this!

I make the powder but add an equal amount of baking soda and diatomaceous earth.

Hello Heidi, have you ever tried to use your egg shells ground up instead of the purchased calcium and magnesium (now that you have chickens) in your tooth powder /paste? Or is that just going too far? Can you get it fine enough?

I have done oil pulling, but have not kept up with it. Better start, again, Rain, have you thought of doing live streams on TheHomeSteadNetwork.? You have so much to offer and would be a big asset to the network. I thought I would tune in today to hear some of the new posters. Ha! What a joke! Both so far are not there. My daughter and I sure would love some committed people that have a lot to offer. Love Living On A Dime and Deep South Homestead!

I made a natural mouthwash to go with my toothpaste with water, baking soda, and peppermint oil. I added a tbsp of colloidal silver as an addition. However, after watching you add magnesium to your toothpaste I realized I have pure magnesium oil and was wondering what you would think about adding it to my mouthwash?

I like the addition of magnesium and calcium. I'm going to have to add that to mine. The only downside to coconut oil is it's kinda messy. Maybe it's just me but the coconut oil runs down my toothbrush handle as it melts in my mouth! 😁 I love homemade toothpaste tho so I don't mind the mess. Does the magnesium and calcium help it to be less messy?

Ginger!

What would the shelf life be on the paste . ? That looks good to make . 😊

Baking soda hurts my teeth, like a deep ache (and I brush gently with a soft brush). I am so bummed about it haha! Maybe I'll figure out how to revise the recipe. We use Uncle Harry's for now, or yarrow/plantain tincture.

Could you infuse the coconut oil with fresh stevia and strain instead of adding later? Or, for that matter, any fresh herbs of your choice?

Hey Rain, love your videos! Just had one question. Do you rinse your mouth with water after having brushed or done oil pulling with your coconut oil mixture? I tend not to do that but maybe sometimes my mouth gets a little dry and i feel like rehydrating. I know this is an old video but i hope you'll get to see my comment. Thanks for reading, cheers!

can I use egg shells instead of calcium and magnesium? :) God bless you!

pray tell, what is the magnesium form you use?

Toothpaste with taco ? Good Idea :) you've been taco'ed

I read to not use a metal spoon when mixing bentonite clay because it reacts with a compound in it. I prefer homemade toothpaste. 😁

I put that clay in my tooth powder - with the egg shells and ground up herbs and turmeric and such. I quit making it because it totally dried up my mouth. Haha - I didn't know you had to add water to the clay. I've never added baking soda but I do add xylitol because I had some and had no other use for it. I read it was good for teeth but I'm sure it's not natural.

Do you think I can use powdered egg shell instead of bottled magnesium and calcium for the tooth powder and paste?

Green leaf Stevia use that

If adding calcium, you might want to add Vit K2 also... make sure that calcium goes to the bones and not blood vessels ... Lots of research available... Also some good research on the dental benefits of Xylitol....

Xylitol is good for your teeth. Maybe a little of that would be good in toothpaste.

You can grow stevia, pretty easy

Could I use Castor oil for oil pulling? Could I mix castor and coconut oil to make my own toothpaste and add essential oils?

Can you get the bentonite clay on Amazon? (Where it will help support your channel)

Do you melt the coconut oil first or straight out of the container?

I think you have a hidden camera in my house...Smoochie just ran out of toothpaste and I need to make more. He gags on mint so I have to do it with cinnamon. Love the addition of magnesium and calcium! A funny...when we started dating he came over I the morning and asked me why I was drinking mud. I do a shot of hydrated bentonite daily. lol

Can you grow stevia plant? Dry the leaves and grind them up. Add to the powder or paste?

Hi...ist the hydration coconut oil??

A couple questions if you mix the coconut oil with the powders do you keep it in the refrigerator and how long does that last…. Next question is the powder how do you use it do you sprinkle it on your toothbrush do you dip your toothbrush in and again how long does that last? Just trying to figure out shelflife on these products

May I share that I make my deodorant with equal parts of baking soda, corn starch and coconut oil, with a few drops of essential oil such as peppermint and/or lavender. It works very well.

From where I can get Bin night clay. Or how to spell it . I want to buy but can’t count same thing as you have in video.thanks

hi can u use eggshells powder instead of magnesuim and calcuim powder in ur toothpaste or tooth powder

What's the name of the magnesium jar you were using.

I'm looking for a diy toothpastes that's refreshing taste.

Can i just brush with only baking soda?

I have access to green stevia powder where I live in South America, but wouldn't it stain the teeth. Please advise.

No it won’t be abrasive but make sure u use it with coconut oil as coconut oil act as safety guard for your teeth from any other thing

How do you stop yourself swallowing if you have the oil & powders swishing around for that long?

The oil solidifies do you just scrap the brush over the top? And rinse brush in hot water? thanks
