 Homemade toothpaste

If you're looking for an alternative to brush your teeth, there are options. There are biological and natural toothpastes on the market, but significantly more expensive than the convantional pastes. pros are they do not contain the harmful ingredients of conventional toothpastes you usually purchace on the market stores. 

 However some of them contain some of the ingredients we do not want, so be careful when you buy and always read the label. The other solution is to learn to prepare our own toothpaste. Once you realize how simple it is, you will not go back to buy those mainstream trade pastes ever again. Base materials containing homemade version is more or less similar, you can experiment and even modifie your own reciepe. It is not necessary to be a paste, even at powder formation it will do the same job. The baking soda alone does wonders. You can add salt for deeper cleaning or powder of minerals such as calcium or magnesium or their combination (both can be found in the pharmacy). Coconut oil transforms the powder into paste, has antibacterial properties and imparts a pleasant fragrance. Of course, the taste of salt is not the most pleasant in the mouth so you may have to add some sort of sweetener such as stevia or xylitol, which protects against caries. 

Use coconut oil as a mouthwash and see what happens to your teeth!
