You will need: (for our family of five, I use the following amounts which make two travel-size containers I purchased from Wal-Mart; adjust accordingly for your needs)

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tbl baking soda
  • 2 tbl xylitol
  • 1 tbl calcium/magnesium blend
  • 2 drops Rosemary 6-8 drops Orange, 4-6 drops Cinnamon, and 4-6 drops Clove essential oils per your preference

Instructions

  • Add all the essential oil drops and mix well.
  • Place the tooth powder in desired container.

Notes

I use about 1/4 - 1/2 tsp to brush my teeth. I love the way it cleans and polishes my teeth. I've noticed that I have less plaque build up than with conventional toothpastes I've used in the past. In addition, my hygienist has even noticed cleaner teeth and less time she spends on my mouth. Score!
