If you stick around my blog long, you will find out that I like to make a lot of homemade products to get rid of toxins in my home. One of the first things I started making was toothpaste.
I still use this same toothpaste recipe and I love that it works great for kids too. This toothpaste can protect teeth from cavities, strengthen gums, and whiten teeth.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH CONVENTIONAL TOOTHPASTE?
Removing conventional items full of toxins and chemicals out of my home was a top priority when I first started using essential oils.
Have you ever read the warning label on the back of your toothpaste tube? Mine says, ” KEEP out of reach of children. If more is swallowed than the normal amount used for brushing, get medical help or contact poison control right away.”
YIKES! Something that my kids see me put in my mouth could greatly harm them if they put it in their mouth. This is why I decided to make my own toothpaste with natural and safe ingredients.
HOMEMADE WHITENING TOOTHPASTE WITH ESSENTIAL OILS INGREDIENTS
- Calcium carbonate
- Xylitol
- Baking soda
- Coconut oil
- Essential oils (see my favorites listed below)
HOMEMADE WHITENING TOOTHPASTE WITH ESSENTIAL OILS INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix 5 parts calcium carbonate, 3 parts xylitol, and 2 parts baking soda in a bowl.
- Add 5 drops clove bud, and 15 drops peppermint essential oil. (Or check out other essential oils you can use below)
- Add 4 parts coconut oil and mix until well combined.
- Store your toothpaste in an airtight container. That simple!
You can make any quantity you want! I do this with tablespoon amounts and usually double this recipe.
BEST ESSENTIAL OILS FOR HOMEMADE TOOTHPASTE
- Peppermint– Add peppermint essential oil to help freshen breathe and leave mouth feeling clean.
- Spearmint– Spearmint doesn’t have as strong of a mint flavor as peppermint and my kids prefer it. I add a few drops of this into their toothpaste to freshen breathe.
- Clove– Everyone should add a few drops of clove to their homemade toothpaste. Clove essential oil can be effective in preventing and treating cavities. It has antiviral, antibacterial, and anti fungal properties.
- Wild Orange– Wild orange has antibacterial properties it will help cleanse the mouth and kill any unwanted bacterias.
- Cinnamon– Cinnamon essential oil can be used to freshen breathe, protect against cavities, and naturally whiten teeth.

This is one of the most pleasant tasting homeade toothpastes I have tried! I usually get the tooth powder from lush, but it always leaves a little burning sensation because of the bicarb. This leaves nothing but my mouth feeling clean!

Hi Laura, congratulations for your blog! Your DIY recipes really works!
One doubt, I´m from Mexico and here is difficult to find xylitol, is there a substitute ingredient?
Thanks a lot for your reply.

Thank you! Can you order it on amazon? IF not, you can make it without it, as it is mainly for taste. You can also add in a few drops of liquid stevia for flavor.
