Homemade Remineralizing Toothpaste Recipe

I have previously mentioned how it prevents cavities and helps remineralize teeth. For healthy tooth enamel, it is important to focus on good nutrition and maintain a good oral care routine. If you’re dealing with sensitive teeth, this homemade remineralizing toothpaste will help reverse and prevent demineralization!

I used a two-part approach when treating cavities. First, I addressed my mineral levels through what I eat and drink. I also used a natural remineralizing toothpaste for enamel repair. Since then, tooth sensitivity has improved significantly and no new caries have been discovered!

Remineralizing Toothpaste

There is a lot of information out there about tooth remineralization, a process that many dental health professionals previously thought was impossible. This article details the science behind tooth remineralization and what foods you should eat and avoid for success. You’ll also learn why most toothpaste ingredients, even those with natural ingredients, aren’t the best.

Conventional preparations, such as Sensodyne, use fluoride and potassium nitrate to reduce tooth sensitivity. I’m not a fan of fluoride, but there are other problems with some brands that claim to have remineralizing properties.

Silica, especially in whitening toothpastes, can sometimes be too harsh. SLS added to foam can cause mouth and gum sensitivity. Nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste has recently gained popularity as an alternative to fluoridated toothpaste, but it also has its problems. you can read more About here.

Over the years I have discovered a lot about having a healthy mouth. What I found reflects my experience with natural fluoride-free toothpaste and a remineralization diet.

I definitely noticed a big difference in my teeth after using this toothpaste. It removes buildup which helps whiten teeth and leaves them feeling really clean. Other people who tried it told me the same thing.

The most amazing change in my teeth is that they are no longer sensitive to the cold! For as long as I can remember, biting into something cold (or even thinking about it!) made me shiver and hurt my front teeth. After changing my dental care, I found that I could eat cold foods without my teeth hurting. I’ve never been able to do that before!

This toothpaste recipe is kid-approved and fluoride-free, making it safe for babies, toddlers and people with thyroid issues.

Ingredients and Substitutes

I’ve made several toothpaste recipes over the years using a variety of ingredients. They all contain ingredients that help strengthen enamel and improve sensitivity to some degree. Here are the ingredients and their benefits for a healthier mouth:

• calcium – I used calcium carbonate in this recipe to help enamel repair. Still a good choice, but calcium phosphate is better. If you wish, you can also use finely powdered dried eggshells to supplement calcium. A coffee grinder is perfect for this.
• baking soda – A gentle abrasive that helps clean teeth and reduce plaque buildup.
• diatomaceous earth – Rich in minerals and silica, it helps strengthen teeth and bones. There is also some wear and tear involved in brushing your teeth.
• xylitol – Add a little sweetness to balance the mineral taste. Xylitol also has many oral health benefits and helps prevent cavities. If you don’t want to add it, you can substitute it with a little stevia to taste.
• coconut oil – This will help bring everything together and turn it from powder to toothpaste. Coconut oil also helps reduce plaque, prevent gingivitis, and balance oral bacteria. If your home is colder, you can replace half of the solid coconut oil with fractionated coconut oil or MCT oil.
• essential oil – Adds antibacterial properties for oral health and freshens breath. Good choices include cassia cinnamon, clove, peppermint, spearmint, myrrh or sweet orange. Start small to avoid irritation and increase as desired according to the recipe.
• mouth oil – Instead of adding essential oils, try using pre-made healthy oral oils. I love products from Wellnesse that contain ingredients like manuka, organic cinnamon, and mint essential oils.

Notes on abrasiveness: There have been concerns that diatomaceous earth or baking soda may be too harsh on teeth. You don’t want your enamel to wear down, but DE and baking soda can be gentle options. Baking soda has a MOHS hardness scale of 2.5, while silica has a hardness of 6 or 7. DE is much softer than the hardness scales of 1 to 1.5.

More Natural Oral Care Options

Oral hygiene includes more than toothpaste! Here are some healthy oral products you can make or buy: I’ve included my brand Wellnesse for those who are too busy or want a pre-made option.

Internal aspects of remineralization

Recalcification doesn’t just happen in the mouth. Simply using a toothpaste with a high mineral content may not help your teeth. Recalcification is a systemic process. This requires sufficient amounts of certain nutrients, especially minerals and fat-soluble vitamins.

When I was actively working to remineralize my teeth, I focused on a specific, nutrient-dense diet. I also avoided foods containing sugar and phytic acid and added other lifestyle elements to increase my nutritional levels. You can read about my daily oral health routine in this post.

Getting enough minerals and fat-soluble vitamins is important because it not only supports your entire body, but also helps you produce more mineral-rich saliva. Our bodies need healthy saliva to deliver the nutrients our teeth need.

I have seen the best results with a two-pronged approach: eating for oral health and using remineralizing toothpaste!
