While many brands are well-known, there are always ingredients that are questionable on the label of their most famous products. What can you do to save money and finally find a way to get past the fear of harmful ingredients? Make your own tooth paste using the best toothpaste recipe in town!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s see how you can make your own toothpaste, save money and have a white smile in the process.<\/p>\n<h2>The Ingredients<\/h2>\n<p>Thankfully, toothpaste is not too complicated to make. In fact, there is a huge debate that the toothpaste itself doesn\u2019t actually provide the most cleaning. Instead, it is the brushing that provides the cleaning, while the toothpaste is truly not a necessity. In either case, adding a little whitening power and a good taste is something that we all enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>You will need to buy the following items before preparing your toothpaste:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Baking Soda (No bleach)<\/li>\n<li>Sea salt<\/li>\n<li>Flavoring (natural)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A few choices for flavoring include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Peppermint<\/li>\n<li>Mint<\/li>\n<li>Orange<\/li>\n<li>Cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If kids will be using <span class=\"waslinkname\">your supreme toothpaste<\/span>, it is best to not choose a flavoring that tastes so good that they will swallow it. This is why mint or citrus flavors are most commonly seen.<\/p>\n<h2>Let the Creativity Begin<\/h2>\n<p>Okay, making toothpaste is not all that exciting, but it is still a great feeling. You will want to measure out the baking soda using 2\/3 of a cup. Once this is done, the rest is very easy. Simply follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Place the baking soda into a large container.<\/li>\n<li>Slowly pour in water and begin mixing.<\/li>\n<li>Continue adding water until a paste consistency is seen.<\/li>\n<li>Add in salt if you wish. This is great for killing bacteria and enhances the healing process of any sores in the mouth, but is not a necessity.<\/li>\n<li>Add in the flavoring one drop at a time. You will want to add to taste, but I generally start with a teaspoon and work my way up until the taste is evident. This will also make your breath smell good.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>That is it! You are done. The only thing left to do is to add the toothpaste to a container, ideally a Tupperware container, and keep it in your bathroom. Now, simply clean up the mess that was made and brush as you normally would.<\/p>\n<p>For an alternate homemade toothpaste recipe, <a href=\"http:\/\/besttoothpaste.net\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fluoride-filled, commercial toothpastes often leave you wondering what exactly you are putting into your mouth.
