Remineralizing Toothpaste

Recently it seems like many of our family members have been struggling with the dilemma of dentistry, and the push to constantly indulge in more and more intensive, intrusive dentistry methods that cost a fortune and don't seem to make your mouth any healthier, rather than addressing the root causes of tooth and gum issues, and using some natural means to help that process along.

Among the things people are told is that tooth decay never heals itself, and that teeth cannot be remineralized. All lies! There are people out there healing tooth decay, or at the least slowing it to a stop, and avoiding many painful, expensive procedures.

Last week I came across this article from thepaleomama, and decided to give this toothpaste a try. We have tried several different recipes, which I have done really well with and actually like the taste of. But when you are dealing with kids the issue of taste becomes more crucial. I can honestly say that no matter how this toothpaste looks...basically like clay!...it tastes good. And because of the coconut oil it also does not taste gritty. If you ever wanted your children to accept a DIY toothpaste from a young age this would be one to try. It is pleasant tasting due to the stevia, mint and (good) spicy Thieves, and it left my mouth and gums feeling great. The ingredients may require some initial purchasing for some but once bought would make quite a lot of batches of toothpaste.

So, try it out, and check out the original post from PaleoMama for more of an explanation.
