Brushing our teeth is part of our daily routine, like washing our face, taking a shower, eating, and so on. But do you ever stop to think about what do these products you use every day contain, especially your toothpaste, which goes in your mouth? Maybe you have read the labels, but you probably don't understand what most of the ingredients are. That's why you may consider using an all natural toothpaste from now on.
Let's take a look at the ingredients of a commercial toothpaste: chemicals, additives, detergents and even sweeteners. Among the chemicals and abrasives used, the worst one is propylene glycol (also used in some anti-freezes!). Some argue that fluoride is also toxic, especially in high quantities, while others recommend using a fluoride product, because it strengthens enamel.
You may think about buying a toothpaste from a shop with natural products. It can be a good idea, but be careful that some of them can also have various chemicals, although they are less harmful. An example would be sodium lauryl suflate, which can be made from natural oil, making it not toxic, but still creates sores or irritation in your mouth.
The solution for these problems is to buy only natural products, made from plant extracts, essential oil, maybe some zinc oxide, citric acid or baking soda. Look up the stores that sell these kinds of toothpaste in your city and try them. You may also find there other natural cosmetic products that you may want to try.
Another option would be to make it yourself. This way you will be able to make it with the taste that you want, to address the problems you have and, last, but not least, you can save some money. With as little as three to five ingredients, and in under ten minutes, you can have the desired toothpaste.
Use natural products such as tea tree oil to clean and refresh your dentition, salt or baking soda to whiten the teeth or fight tartar buildup, as well as essential oils. You can add orange and peppermint or eucalyptus oil if you want it to be citrus-fresh. Or, if you are more of a herbal type of person, use licorice root, Indian almond, clove, maybe a bit of cinnamon, or any other essential oil you want, but check the quantities before.
To sweeten the toothpaste you can use stevia powder or, even better, xylitol. Another great paste you can get is the one with different types of clay. It may sound weird, but it actually leaves your teeth very clean. It also helps teeth remineralization. You just mix the clay you want with purified water, a bit of sea salt, some sweetener (stevia, either powder or liquid, or xylitol) and one or two essential oils of your choice.
It doesn't matter if you want to buy or make your own toothpaste, remember that there are options to help keep you safe and healthy. If you get rid of the chemicals you put in and on your body, you will be healthier and look better. All the options are right in front of you.
