As a kid I used to use baking soda on my teeth. I now use it for laundry bc i discovered how much better and safer and doesn’t transfer color so u can mix lights with darks. It cleans and deodorizes clothes so well. Thats why they use it in fridges , litter boxes and rugs. It’s in all different types of cleaning products but they want you to spend hundreds of dollars on added bad chemicals and fragrances. So I wanted to remind myself how well it worked for toothpaste. I will go back to doing this and see how my teeth respond. I will just use the baking soda with coconut oil bc bad tastes doesn’t bother me. Thing is I use salt water rinses for sore throats and even bad breath. It’s amazing how immediately it works for throat pain and breath. It’s like nature provides all the necessities and we think everything has to be synthesized and made in a lab. Most of time basic body care is found in nature without much manipulation

[@aseul2682]

Can I know what other ingredients you add along with baking soda for your laundry?

[@stephaniedavis9242]

We've been using this recipe for over a year and all our dental check ups have been perfect. Highly recommend! Thank you Ashley.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Stephanie Davis Wow! Thanks for your update, glad to hear it's been working for you guys! ( :

[@michelleheath]

I made my own toothpaste with baking soda, Himalayan pink salt and coconut oil. Clean and refreshing. Love it!

[@paraclipsyt2521]

I have a similar toothpaste I made. Baking soda, coconut oil, frankensense and peppermint oil. It doesn't really taste terrible, more like a cream sickle. And my teeth feel really clean and I have fresh breath even in the morning when I wake up.

[@raghavsood6156]

Is there any substitute for baking soda? - I don't want to use baking soda. Do you think we can use something differant to baking soda? What if we use another ingediant like flour or yeast?

[@purplebugdede]

+Raghav Sood baking soda is for whitening and cleaning

[@Arya_Adarsh]

You can use salt. Purpose of Baking soda/salt is to act like sand paper. While brushing its tiny particals polishes your teeth and clean them. Branded tooth pastes have bone powder and baking soda. Desi laal Dant-manjan had coal powder.

[@aconsideration]

The toothbrush is enough really. Does the cleaning and the polishing in one.

[@TheRivalConcept]

Paulsan DONT NOT BE AN IDIOT ye it is ebrassive but much lower on the scale than conventional toothpastes also it is an acid nutralizer and keeps your mouth is an alkiline state longer (depending on what you eat) also use a soft toothbrush

[@sakegirl3665]

I absolutely love this recipe! I've been using it for about a month, and I've noticed that my gums have stopped bleeding and my teeth aren't as sensitive! Thanks so much for sharing! :-)

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

autumn russell So great! Glad it's helped you. ( :

[@jemoore27]

Loved this idea - thanks for the video. I've found that since I've made my own toothpaste, I brush more often because I'm so proud of it. That's what "homemade" can do to a person! My teeth thank you.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Judith M Aww that's so cool! I agree, when I make something on my own I am way more motivated to use it and proud of it! You're so welcome (teeth). ( :

[@Caricature17]

Coconut oil can't be spit down the sink, since it solidifies when cold and will clog the plumbing! We just spit it out into a paper towel and toss.

[@ulfandersson100]

But you can always rinse it away with hot tap water

[@aconsideration]

That's a waste of a paper towel.

[@tropicalstrings]

if it is cold outside it stick inside your sink.

[@jesusislord9755]

Caricature17 I guess you can run hot water over it to melt the coconut oil and let it go down the drain

[@theindigofog]

Problem is oil itself, but if you wash hands with soap after draining oil all should be good enough

[@MayimHastings]

I just made this with just coconut 🥥 oil and baking soda! No measuring, I just melted the oil in the microwave for 20 sec and mixed in the baking soda until I got the right consistency. It’s awesome!!! My mouth feels super happy! Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s seriously life altering! I’ve tried every toothpaste known to man and they all give me a chemical burn - no clue why. This has saved me! Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏

[@farmishmomma8014]

So happy that you like my toothpaste recipe!! Thank you for giving credit as sooooo many people have not and you did a wonderful job with this video. I am off to see some more of your videos and you have a new viewer!! Tricia aka Crunchy Catholic Momma whose blog has now been changed to farmishmomma but youtube will not allow me to put my blog address

[@tyffierose9237]

in most beauty supply stores, they have small squeezable bottles with nozzles and caps that are usually used for hair color you can store toothpaste in

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Good tip!

[@corallaroc]

Good idea, although I'm in England and it's winter so my toothpaste is going to be solid with the coconut oil so wouldn't come out of a nozzle. In fact, I think I may struggle getting it out at all..

[@aubriethegreat8175]

Good tip! Maybe I could find bpa free. Thanks. :)

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

If you Google a list called the "Abrasive Index of Common Toothpastes" you can see how most toothpastes rank in abrasiveness. Just plain baking soda is given the ranking of a 7, and falls into the category of 0-70 (low abrasive). Most common toothpastes are in the range of 49-165, with anything above 150 falling into the category of "highly abrasive". So personally, I'm not worried about the abrasiveness. Others have used stevia instead of xylitol.

[@izabelawilson]

I would suggest do not use a metallic bowl to do the mixtures, but a glass one. Thanks for sharing, very useful recipe! 😉

[@masonkane5884]

I've made my own toothpaste in the past and put it in a used soft soap bottle. The built in pump actually works pretty well and is super convenient. Thanks for the video. Love making my own... whatever.. rather than buying it.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Oh good idea!

[@RandolphCrane]

I used Clove ethereal oil instead of the Peppermint (the oil has antibacterial properties, and can also be used to treat infections), Stevia from my own garden (I dried and then pulverized it), and I warmed up the Coconut oil in order to mix everything smoothly (the Baking Soda did not dissolve, which is a desirable outcome).

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Thanks for sharing!

[@baileywhanau]

She waffles on quite a bit at the start, so just go to.... 2:40 on the video to see the recipe

[@tatianadesopo7969]

Thank you lol! I was wondering when it was going to begin

[@MM-yb2fy]

baileywhanau "waffles on" 😃

[@janea1985]

It's really reassuring when you explain the cause or effect of the ingredients.😀👍

[@healthnut3433]

Thank you, Ashley. I lean towards the idea of transferring the toothpaste from the container to the brush on a tongue depressor (narrow, wood ones are available a zillion for a dollar at... dollar stores (if made in China, however, I wouldn't use those- China has poor quality requirements and inspections)). When we brush our teeth, whatever 'germs' that are in our mouth are transferred to the toothbrush. If the 'germy' toothbrush is put into the paste, germs are transferred to all the paste that's in the container. Germs, like all life, love to multiply. I suggest scooping the toothpaste with an UN-USED end of a tongue depressor. This will prevent organisms being transferred to the container (other than the organisms that are on the tongue blade. And, there are sterilized tongue blades available (each in their own sterile paper sleeve) for people who are sufferers of obsessive-compulsive disorder). On the subject of tooth care, I recommend cracking out a NEW toothbrush more often than once every 5 years. The human mouth is 'home' to more organisms than we can shake a toothbrush at, and every time the brush goes into our mouth, organisms attach to the brush. I was a foster parent to 5 children at a time. Each child had their own toothbrush (of course) AND their own tube of toothpaste). Also, the cup at the bathroom sink was a dispenser of pop-up paper cups. They each had their own wash cloth and towel (color coded). Sturdy hooks were screwed across a length of 1 x 4 wood. The wood 'plank' was affixed to the bathroom wall. This 'towel rack' can be decorated, the children's names can be placed over the hooks, etc. The children were rarely ill. Using the above methods is, especially, important for people who are at high risk of contracting contagious diseases- people who have traveled around the sun more than 65 times, people with less than superb health, people experiencing certain health conditions or injuries, people who have particular medications/substances going into their bodies, people who work around ill people, people who work with young children.... Some may think this advice is a bit extreme. But, having been a Registered Nurse for over 35 years, working in hospitals, clinics and 'urgent care' facilities for many of those years, I've seen a lot of illness... and much of it could have been prevented by actions of the sick/injured person and the people in contact with them. The best thing we can do? Be as healthy as we can- this, largely, determines who contracts the contagious disease and who doesn't. Thanks. Karen at the Health Nut Club

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Health Nut Thanks for sharing!

[@Icthyologist]

I read the title of this video, turned to my grandmother, and asked her what they used to use before toothpaste. She said they used to use baking soda or salt. There is your solution to potentially poisonous toothpaste. Woman has worked as a dental assistant for fifty years.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Icthyologist Thanks for sharing! ( : Cool.

[@kaylafreckleton5154]

right!!

[@Stardust920]

It goes to show you how people are finding out how so many of our technological "advances" are actually very dangerous for us and thus there is a strong movement to go back to simpler, more natural (and safer) alternatives, many of which were around years ago.

[@iamryanne]

+Icthyologist When I was a kid and we ran out of toothpaste, we just used baking soda too.

[@123TeeMee]

you know people are actually living a lot longer now right?

[@lylynguyen1695]

Who else came here cuz they ran out of toothpaste....

[@pamelatenesaca6833]

me

[@RemiDoozy]

LylyWaffles No here because fluoride kills

[@luciatat4084]

NetherManiacs it does??

[@MrZiime]

Lucia Tat Its actually dangerous for consumption yes, its a neurotoxin

[@joeshoeaa]

The fluoride in conventional toothpaste is not enough to kill a person. It is important to be in toothpaste and in our water to reduce sensitivity on exposed root surfaces and cause remineralization of teeth. Of course if we consume grams on fluoride it will kill us like everything else in excess. Moderation is key and doing your research before making claims is key for all of us to become better and healthier. Here are some scientific article proving the benefits of fluoride. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4733546/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4851520/ ilikemyteeth.org/fluoridation/effects-of-fluoride/

[@ezekiel318]

I suggest you add drops of clove essential oil. Thanks for posting!

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

That would be a great addition!

[@elbanis666]

i got all the ingredients and made it today. my mouth feels amazing after brushing. appreciate the video. good work 🔥

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Glad to hear it!

[@omadesala384]

Thank you so much for the recipe! I just my own

[@nriderburg]

You are contaminating the product if you are dipping your used toothbrush into mixture. Another suggestion would be to put it in a zip lock bag & cut a small opening to squeeze it out, or a pastry tube dispenser.

[@stevensmith9519]

+florida mom The ingrediants are already very good at killing bacteria. Also how would u cover the hole? If you slice the bag.

[@Anonymous-ro5fv]

Or have a small jar each and stick to your own jar. Problem solved.

[@divinelivity1111]

i like your ingredients. I use turmeric powder, baking soda, salt, coconut oil, clove oil, peppermint oil, and vanilla

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

That's a good mix you've got!

[@divinelivity1111]

thanks much. i make organic products. Congrats on your little one

[@KrazyKraftKitty]

This is so cool! I have all of the ingredients and it's so easy! I made this and it works as good as toothpaste. Love it

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

+Pastelend U Yeah glad to hear it!

[@TheMeatballsRevenge]

This video starts at 2:50 Holy shit

[@robertmckernan8469]

Great recipe, sticks together great and doesnt get gross after a few uses. Cant wait to sell some at my farmers market!

[@StephieFaith]

I just made this recipe, and I found that running hotwater over my metal mixing bowl helped to soften the coconut oil without actually "heating" it. I can't wait to try it! :-)

[@icequeen4201]

I made this a few days ago and it turned brown. I have been nauseous and unable to eat for two days now. I was scooping out paste with toothbrush but in future I will use something to get paste out first.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Interesting, I haven't heard anyone having that reaction before. Do you think you're allergic to any of the ingredients? I would may stop using it if it's making you sick.

[@XxSiLvErStArSx]

If I were to make this, I'm a bit concerned about using this twice a day with the baking soda. Will that damage my tooth enamel since I heard you're supposed to brush your teeth with baking soda once a week to whiten?

[@bobvb]

I started with just Coconut Oil and baking soda. About six months ago I started adding Frankincense Essential Oil and have since added Eucalyptus Oil. I can't believe the number of comments by people who don't care about their health. Thank You Ashley.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

thanks for sharing what works for you!

[@sweetheartsmom]

I used all of my last tube of toothpaste then cut off the end where it is crimped, and rinsed it out, then put my homemade tooth paste in it and used a paper clip to reclose. it works great.

[@bellataylor3269]

Ok this really works I used it right after I made it and my teeth are white as snow but not the yellow snow

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Bella Taylor LOL ( :

[@LouieBlu]

What about Storage, should it be in the fridge after you make it or just leave it in your bathroom? also can you use a blender or food processor to mix the ingredients? thanks

[@richiestang78]

I just started making my own as well, I substitute stevia for my sweetener and add a touch of sea salt to my mixture as well as some Calcium Carbonate. I also use Essential Peppermint Oil for the flavoring due to the antiseptic properties of the stuff.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

***** Cool, thanks for sharing!

[@kayelanibailey3538]

do you uss it everyday is it safe

[@christinavogel2355]

Just a fun tip if you crush a strawberry and mix it with 1 tbls baking soda you have a supper whiting tooth cleaner but don't use it more than 2x a week because it will damage your gums. But it works better than commercial whiteners for all kinds of stains from wine to coffee and tea.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

@YvonneArellano- You could use a small spoon to scoop it out and put it on your toothbrush or just dip your toothbrush in and scoop it out that way.

[@Beyondthisveil]

***** Never put your toothbrush into your mixture. GERMS BACTERIA and all its cousins will come to visit you. Use a popsicle stick or something you can either throw out or dedicate by clean/disinfect each time and ensure it is completely DRY and sterile before putting back into your container. You cannot see the YUK growing so you will not feel the effects till too late. You may stay safe for a while but it only takes once to get infected by some type of staff! Nice recipe just apply some safety nets whenever using non preserved homemade products. Keep GREEN!! :-)

[@Autsom57]

+Gail Leblanc use a brass utensil

[@autumnr.6175]

+Gail Leblanc 👍👍

[@taneshawilson2595]

+Gail Leblanc I agree

[@SpiritualReform]

I empty a plastic toothpaste tube and insert my home made toothpaste in the tube. Don't use the aluminum tubes cause after bending or rolling them you can get the aluminum on your paste.

[@aliceryan9557]

For natural sweeter.Fresh mint.Great house plants

[@xXHenakoXx]

I use organic stevia in my clay based toothpaste. It's slightly bitter but helps the toothpaste to not be so salty.

[@MildredDavisLloyd]

I made this Tuesday night and I like it a lot! Also I found using my hands(washed of course! Lol.) to mix the ingredients works much better than the spoon, in a faster sense. Great recipe!

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

I've used my hands as well! Hey when you're in a hurry it works fast and just as effective. Glad you liked it!

[@MildredDavisLloyd]

Lol, yes I agree.

[@cleliapoaty]

I just make my second one. I love this toothpaste!!! I did your deodorant, same thing I love it! so soft :)

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Awesome! Glad you like them. ( :

[@beccawells8618]

just curious but what sweetener isn't plant based? The only one I know of that isn't is honey

[@crazy-cat-dance-]

It works this is my 3rd time making this toothpaste I make it for my mom dad grandparents and friends I've been using it for 2 years and I haven't got a cavity sense!!

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

+crazy-cat-dance-1885 Awesome! ( : Thanks for sharing!

[@nicoleshelton7318]

Just made some tonight! Gave it a test try and it works amazingly well. I did have to go back and add a little more Xylitol for taste. Can't wait to see how my mouth feels using this in conjunction with my daily oil pulling! Thanks for sharing!

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Cool! Glad you like it!

[@ellee75]

Great recipe, I've been using the same type for a while now. Only thing I would question is the alcohol-free peppermint extract...of all the ones I've seen they all use glycerine (which you don't want on your teeth as it will not allow re-mineralization of the teeth) I realize it is a small amount of the extract but still just wondering if yours contains it or not? Great videos!

[@lynnbrannan4578]

Elvira E use peppermint essential oil. problem solved.

[@lucieann21]

I live in Australia and coconut oil is almost always liquid here :)

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

I bet! ( :

[@elizabethG633]

I would add grapefruitseed extract to my recipe. I will be trying this. Thanks.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Nice idea, hope it turns out good for you!

[@Derek-gh8jq]

could I use organic honey as the sweetener instead of xylitol?

[@JayGoChannel]

or... just use baking soda to brush your teeth, and gargle with peroxide (DO NOT SWALLOW)

[@DLR310]

DONE THAT FOR YEARS ~

[@EloraLiveZ]

That eats away at your gums like crazy and in very littletime you end up with thise ugly unhealthy scrawny gums that some old people have. Its terrible.

[@lauratwigg]

your videos are so good! i plan on watching them all tonight (very exciting saturday evening!)

[@jacquelynharris7533]

Can I just say what a aid to find somebody who actually knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You definitely know how to convey a problem to light and make it important. More individuals must read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant consider youre not more popular since you undoubtedly have the gift.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Thanks for your feedback! ( :

What are your sources for stating it is toxic?

[@minh4835]

How can you contaminate something that's anti bateria/ anti microbial? duh?

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

You're welcome! The only suggestion I have for making it pink would be to put some natural food coloring in it, I use India Tree's Nature's Colors. See more about this in my video "How to Color Frosting Quickly and Naturally" but even then I worry it would turn her teeth pink. But then again, maybe not...if you try it you'll have to let me know how it turns out. ( :

[@marwanabil7703]

can we skip the xylitol?

Thank you

[@michellewei7349]

Chocolate is only toxic in large quantities. fyi.

***** Hello I made the toothpaste but I used stevia intead of xylitol my question is to make the toothpaste more sweeter I used 2 more tbs of the peppermint extract was I suppose to do that?

[@millerjoan]

Too much talking! If you want to talk, at least work on your product while doing so. You come to a stand-still to talk or explain something. While I do appreciate your knowledge on making toothpaste, i cannot subscribe and listen to another video that should be a 2 minute tutorial instead of 7 minutes. Sorry.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

If you don't want to listen to 7 minutes of talking, open the description box and read the recipe, simple enough. Some people like to listen to the description of ingredients and why they were chosen, if you don't want to hear it don't watch it.

I am sorry, why is glycerin harmful to teeth? Nice video, thanks for sharing.

[@shawnc01980]

thanks for the video was the best one to explain how to make your own homemade toothpaste. I am going to add egg shell powder and Himalayan salt and some zinc powder. I'm also might add peppermint essential oil/ dash of myrrh and rosemary c02 essential oil which will help with taste, gingivitis and help keep the toothpaste from going bad.

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Cool thanks for sharing! ( :

[@jmt1217]

I saw a homemade toothpaste recipe that used stevia to sweeten it. It doesn't do anything to help your teeth, but it won't hurt them either.

[@Mario4JC]

I made it today with virgin unrefine coconut oil and bakin soda only..and then I tryed and it works very good..the bakin do the scrubing and the coconut the lubrication it gets your teeth and gums very clean ..I cant affor to loose more teeth regular toothpaste doesnt help.

If you want to naturally lighten your hair just squeeze a little or a lot depends on your taste, organic lemon juice on your hair and sit outside in the sun for 30 minutes or longer if it's not too hot and you can tolerate it. Can't get any more natural than that.

[@applefan236]

Baking Soda acts as an abrasive in the toothpaste. However not all toothpastes use baking soda. Some toothpaste brands use silica, which is another name for crushed glass.

[@qualqui]

Neem toothpaste works well with me. no fluoride in it. I get it at (South) Asian stores

[@empathicgirl2385]

+Dhragonfly Same. Though, sometimes I wonder if the benefits of flouride really outweighs the harmful effects it may have on us (as said by quite a few dentists).

cont....vegan and pregnant as well as another video about the vegan prenatal vitamins/supplements I take. I plan to show what I eat in an average day. So hopefully this will help answer some of the questions you have. ( :

If you put it in globs on parchment paper and let it dry could you make it into chewables to just toss one in your mouth at brushing time ?

[@oglethorpezippelmeier2514]

Hello, I have tried this recipe,actually I've mixed 4 tbsp baking soda,3 tbsp coconut oil and I've added a tbsp of iodized salt. I can't get the mixture to a paste form. Its not too liquid but its definitely not solid..I've tried bunch of time with different measurements,I've excluded the salt and still no success. The thing is that the other day when I was showing this to my family, I've made a really solid paste. I mean the mixture as all was really almost like a regular toothpaste. And 2 days after,I cant get the same thing. I honestly dont know where I went wrong :D

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

+Nick Slaughter You could try putting it in the fridge to help it solidfiy?

[@vanschliestett8641]

Tip.......Preheat a small Bowl to liquify the Oil. Mixing is quicker , better and easier . :)

[@AshleysConsciousLife]

Yes it is! ( :
