As a kid I used to use baking soda on my teeth. I now use it for laundry bc i discovered how much better and safer and doesn’t transfer color so u can mix lights with darks. It cleans and deodorizes clothes so well. Thats why they use it in fridges , litter boxes and rugs. It’s in all different types of cleaning products but they want you to spend hundreds of dollars on added bad chemicals and fragrances. So I wanted to remind myself how well it worked for toothpaste. I will go back to doing this and see how my teeth respond. I will just use the baking soda with coconut oil bc bad tastes doesn’t bother me. Thing is I use salt water rinses for sore throats and even bad breath. It’s amazing how immediately it works for throat pain and breath. It’s like nature provides all the necessities and we think everything has to be synthesized and made in a lab. Most of time basic body care is found in nature without much manipulation
Can I know what other ingredients you add along with baking soda for your laundry?
We've been using this recipe for over a year and all our dental check ups have been perfect. Highly recommend!
Thank you Ashley.
Stephanie Davis Wow! Thanks for your update, glad to hear it's been working for you guys! ( :
I made my own toothpaste with baking soda, Himalayan pink salt and coconut oil. Clean and refreshing. Love it!
I have a similar toothpaste I made. Baking soda, coconut oil, frankensense and peppermint oil. It doesn't really taste terrible, more like a cream sickle. And my teeth feel really clean and I have fresh breath even in the morning when I wake up.
Is there any substitute for baking soda? - I don't want to use baking soda. Do you think we can use something differant to baking soda? What if we use another ingediant like flour or yeast?
+Raghav Sood baking soda is for whitening and cleaning
You can use salt. Purpose of Baking soda/salt is to act like sand paper. While brushing its tiny particals polishes your teeth and clean them. Branded tooth pastes have bone powder and baking soda. Desi laal Dant-manjan had coal powder.
The toothbrush is enough really. Does the cleaning and the polishing in one.
Paulsan DONT NOT BE AN IDIOT ye it is ebrassive but much lower on the scale than conventional toothpastes also it is an acid nutralizer and keeps your mouth is an alkiline state longer (depending on what you eat) also use a soft toothbrush
Coconut oil can't be spit down the sink, since it solidifies when cold and will clog the plumbing! We just spit it out into a paper towel and toss.
But you can always rinse it away with hot tap water
That's a waste of a paper towel.
if it is cold outside it stick inside your sink.
Caricature17 I guess you can run hot water over it to melt the coconut oil and let it go down the drain
Problem is oil itself, but if you wash hands with soap after draining oil all should be good enough
Loved this idea - thanks for the video. I've found that since I've made my own toothpaste, I brush more often because I'm so proud of it. That's what "homemade" can do to a person! My teeth thank you.
Judith M Aww that's so cool! I agree, when I make something on my own I am way more motivated to use it and proud of it! You're so welcome (teeth). ( :
I absolutely love this recipe! I've been using it for about a month, and I've noticed that my gums have stopped bleeding and my teeth aren't as sensitive! Thanks so much for sharing! :-)
autumn russell So great! Glad it's helped you. ( :
I just made this with just coconut 🥥 oil and baking soda! No measuring, I just melted the oil in the microwave for 20 sec and mixed in the baking soda until I got the right consistency. It’s awesome!!! My mouth feels super happy! Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s seriously life altering! I’ve tried every toothpaste known to man and they all give me a chemical burn - no clue why. This has saved me! Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏
So happy that you like my toothpaste recipe!! Thank you for giving credit as sooooo many people have not and you did a wonderful job with this video. I am off to see some more of your videos and you have a new viewer!! Tricia aka Crunchy Catholic Momma whose blog has now been changed to farmishmomma but youtube will not allow me to put my blog address
It's really reassuring when you explain the cause or effect of the ingredients.😀👍
in most beauty supply stores, they have small squeezable bottles with nozzles and caps that are usually used for hair color you can store toothpaste in
Good tip!
Good idea, although I'm in England and it's winter so my toothpaste is going to be solid with the coconut oil so wouldn't come out of a nozzle. In fact, I think I may struggle getting it out at all..
Good tip! Maybe I could find bpa free. Thanks. :)
I would suggest do not use a metallic bowl to do the mixtures, but a glass one. Thanks for sharing, very useful recipe! 😉
She waffles on quite a bit at the start, so just go to.... 2:40 on the video to see the recipe
Thank you lol! I was wondering when it was going to begin
baileywhanau "waffles on" 😃
I've made my own toothpaste in the past and put it in a used soft soap bottle. The built in pump actually works pretty well and is super convenient.
Thanks for the video. Love making my own... whatever.. rather than buying it.
Oh good idea!
I just made this recipe, and I found that running hotwater over my metal mixing bowl helped to soften the coconut oil without actually "heating" it. I can't wait to try it! :-)
Great recipe, sticks together great and doesnt get gross after a few uses. Cant wait to sell some at my farmers market!
If you Google a list called the "Abrasive Index of Common Toothpastes" you can see how most toothpastes rank in abrasiveness. Just plain baking soda is given the ranking of a 7, and falls into the category of 0-70 (low abrasive). Most common toothpastes are in the range of 49-165, with anything above 150 falling into the category of "highly abrasive". So personally, I'm not worried about the abrasiveness. Others have used stevia instead of xylitol.
I read the title of this video, turned to my grandmother, and asked her what they used to use before toothpaste. She said they used to use baking soda or salt. There is your solution to potentially poisonous toothpaste. Woman has worked as a dental assistant for fifty years.
Icthyologist Thanks for sharing! ( : Cool.
right!!
It goes to show you how people are finding out how so many of our technological "advances" are actually very dangerous for us and thus there is a strong movement to go back to simpler, more natural (and safer) alternatives, many of which were around years ago.
+Icthyologist When I was a kid and we ran out of toothpaste, we just used baking soda too.
you know people are actually living a lot longer now right?
your videos are so good! i plan on watching them all tonight (very exciting saturday evening!)
Ashlee thanks for this recipe. I have been using Peelu which I have to order and it is very pricey. I love all the ingredients you have used for this recipe especially the coconut oil. I also use it for my skin with great results .
Congratulations on the "bump" and I'm sure you'll have a smooth delivery.
This is so cool! I have all of the ingredients and it's so easy! I made this and it works as good as toothpaste. Love it
+Pastelend U Yeah glad to hear it!
i got all the ingredients and made it today. my mouth feels amazing after brushing. appreciate the video. good work 🔥
Glad to hear it!
You are contaminating the product if you are dipping your used toothbrush into mixture. Another suggestion would be to put it in a zip lock bag & cut a small opening to squeeze it out, or a pastry tube dispenser.
+florida mom The ingrediants are already very good at killing bacteria. Also how would u cover the hole? If you slice the bag.
Or have a small jar each and stick to your own jar. Problem solved.
Just made some tonight! Gave it a test try and it works amazingly well. I did have to go back and add a little more Xylitol for taste. Can't wait to see how my mouth feels using this in conjunction with my daily oil pulling! Thanks for sharing!
Cool! Glad you like it!
I suggest you add drops of clove essential oil. Thanks for posting!
That would be a great addition!
Who else came here cuz they ran out of toothpaste....
me
LylyWaffles No here because fluoride kills
NetherManiacs it does??
Lucia Tat Its actually dangerous for consumption yes, its a neurotoxin
The fluoride in conventional toothpaste is not enough to kill a person. It is important to be in toothpaste and in our water to reduce sensitivity on exposed root surfaces and cause remineralization of teeth. Of course if we consume grams on fluoride it will kill us like everything else in excess. Moderation is key and doing your research before making claims is key for all of us to become better and healthier.
Here are some scientific article proving the benefits of fluoride.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4733546/
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4851520/

I love your videos and I am sorry that person feels that way as well. Thanks for making such great tutorials and sharing your knowledge!
Thank you making some myself today. :) Gonna make a video about it too. God bless!
Thank you so much for the recipe! I just my own
I just make my second one. I love this toothpaste!!! I did your deodorant, same thing I love it! so soft :)
Awesome! Glad you like them. ( :
This is really helpful, I am actually switching all my products to all natural ingredients. Thank You :)
Cool! Glad to help!
Glad you like it! I wish I had a dish wash detergent recipe...no luck yet though, I just use Ecover Dishwasher tablets.
I used Clove ethereal oil instead of the Peppermint (the oil has antibacterial properties, and can also be used to treat infections), Stevia from my own garden (I dried and then pulverized it), and I warmed up the Coconut oil in order to mix everything smoothly (the Baking Soda did not dissolve, which is a desirable outcome).
Thanks for sharing!
What about Storage, should it be in the fridge after you make it or just leave it in your bathroom? also can you use a blender or food processor to mix the ingredients? thanks
This is exciting. I can't wait to try it!
+Oglethorpe Zippelmeier Hope you like it!
I made this Tuesday night and I like it a lot! Also I found using my hands(washed of course! Lol.) to mix the ingredients works much better than the spoon, in a faster sense. Great recipe!
I've used my hands as well! Hey when you're in a hurry it works fast and just as effective. Glad you liked it!
Lol, yes I agree.
What are your sources for stating it is toxic?
Thank you, Ashley. I lean towards the idea of transferring the toothpaste from the container to the brush on a tongue depressor (narrow, wood ones are available a zillion for a dollar at... dollar stores (if made in China, however, I wouldn't use those- China has poor quality requirements and inspections)).
When we brush our teeth, whatever 'germs' that are in our mouth are transferred to the toothbrush. If the 'germy' toothbrush is put into the paste, germs are transferred to all the paste that's in the container. Germs, like all life, love to multiply. I suggest scooping the toothpaste with an UN-USED end of a tongue depressor. This will prevent organisms being transferred to the container (other than the organisms that are on the tongue blade. And, there are sterilized tongue blades available (each in their own sterile paper sleeve) for people who are sufferers of obsessive-compulsive disorder).
On the subject of tooth care, I recommend cracking out a NEW toothbrush more often than once every 5 years. The human mouth is 'home' to more organisms than we can shake a toothbrush at, and every time the brush goes into our mouth, organisms attach to the brush.
I was a foster parent to 5 children at a time. Each child had their own toothbrush (of course) AND their own tube of toothpaste). Also, the cup at the bathroom sink was a dispenser of pop-up paper cups. They each had their own wash cloth and towel (color coded). Sturdy hooks were screwed across a length of 1 x 4 wood. The wood 'plank' was affixed to the bathroom wall. This 'towel rack' can be decorated, the children's names can be placed over the hooks, etc. The children were rarely ill.
Using the above methods is, especially, important for people who are at high risk of contracting contagious diseases- people who have traveled around the sun more than 65 times, people with less than superb health, people experiencing certain health conditions or injuries, people who have particular medications/substances going into their bodies, people who work around ill people, people who work with young children....
Some may think this advice is a bit extreme. But, having been a Registered Nurse for over 35 years, working in hospitals, clinics and 'urgent care' facilities for many of those years, I've seen a lot of illness... and much of it could have been prevented by actions of the sick/injured person and the people in contact with them.
The best thing we can do? Be as healthy as we can- this, largely, determines who contracts the contagious disease and who doesn't.
Thanks.

Health Nut Thanks for sharing!
Glad it worked for you! ( :
just made it looking forward to trying it after my oil pulling ...
thanks for the video
You bet! Hope you like it. ( :
Great recipe, I've been using the same type for a while now. Only thing I would question is the alcohol-free peppermint extract...of all the ones I've seen they all use glycerine (which you don't want on your teeth as it will not allow re-mineralization of the teeth) I realize it is a small amount of the extract but still just wondering if yours contains it or not?
Great videos!
Elvira E use peppermint essential oil. problem solved.
just curious but what sweetener isn't plant based? The only one I know of that isn't is honey
if you live alone it's ok, you did a wonderful job i love it!
Wow this is so cool. Thanks very much, May'm!
You're welcome!
i like your ingredients. I use turmeric powder, baking soda, salt, coconut oil, clove oil, peppermint oil, and vanilla
That's a good mix you've got!
thanks much. i make organic products. Congrats on your little one
I made this a few days ago and it turned brown. I have been nauseous and unable to eat for two days now. I was scooping out paste with toothbrush but in future I will use something to get paste out first.
Interesting, I haven't heard anyone having that reaction before. Do you think you're allergic to any of the ingredients? I would may stop using it if it's making you sick.
Woah!! Girl u are great 😍😍 u can make anything brilliant i luv ur channel girlllll
diya kithani Aww thanks!
Thank you very much I appreciate your explanation of the ingredient. This help my chemistry assignment to make toothpaste and explain the effect of the ingredient. ❤😀😀😀👍
Glad to hear it!
Ok this really works I used it right after I made it and my teeth are white as snow but not the yellow snow
Bella Taylor LOL ( :
could I use organic honey as the sweetener
instead of xylitol?
Can't wait to give this a try!
rbeal89 Cool!
Hey! First of all, I really enjoyed your video! Thank you for putting this sort of thing out here for us all to learn with you. I'm going to make this toothpaste sometime this week. Would you mind if I link this video in my green experiences blog? Again, thank you!
If I were to make this, I'm a bit concerned about using this twice a day with the baking soda. Will that damage my tooth enamel since I heard you're supposed to brush your teeth with baking soda once a week to whiten?
For natural sweeter.Fresh mint.Great house plants
thank you so much for this video, very helpful!
You're welcome!
This was an AMAZING video!! keep it up😘
+Starr Cato Thanks!
This video starts at 2:50
Holy shit
@YvonneArellano- You could use a small spoon to scoop it out and put it on your toothbrush or just dip your toothbrush in and scoop it out that way.
***** Never put your toothbrush into your mixture. GERMS BACTERIA and all its cousins will come to visit you. Use a popsicle stick or something you can either throw out or dedicate by clean/disinfect each time and ensure it is completely DRY and sterile before putting back into your container. You cannot see the YUK growing so you will not feel the effects till too late. You may stay safe for a while but it only takes once to get infected by some type of staff! Nice recipe just apply some safety nets whenever using non preserved homemade products. Keep GREEN!! :-)
+Gail Leblanc use a brass utensil
+Gail Leblanc 👍👍
+Gail Leblanc I agree
I empty a plastic toothpaste tube and insert my home made toothpaste in the tube. Don't use the aluminum tubes cause after bending or rolling them you can get the aluminum on your paste.
It works this is my 3rd time making this toothpaste I make it for my mom dad grandparents and friends I've been using it for 2 years and I haven't got a cavity sense!!
+crazy-cat-dance-1885 Awesome! ( : Thanks for sharing!
Hi Ashley, I just found your channel and already love it. I just wanted to know if you refrigerate your toothpaste or leave it at room temperature? thanks for sharing and of course I subscribed :-)
I live in Australia and coconut oil is almost always liquid here :)
I bet! ( :
How can you contaminate something that's anti bateria/ anti microbial?
duh?
Good idea!
I used all of my last tube of toothpaste then cut off the end where it is crimped, and rinsed it out, then put my homemade tooth paste in it and used a paper clip to reclose. it works great.
Can i use stevia instead of xylitol?
+uching Sure!
Good point .. I just saw this video and I got the same question.
or... just use baking soda to brush your teeth, and gargle with peroxide (DO NOT SWALLOW)
DONE THAT FOR YEARS ~
That eats away at your gums like crazy and in very littletime you end up with thise ugly unhealthy scrawny gums that some old people have. Its terrible.
Can I just say what a aid to find somebody who actually knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You definitely know how to convey a problem to light and make it important. More individuals must read this and perceive this facet of the story. I cant consider youre not more popular since you undoubtedly have the gift.
Thanks for your feedback! ( :
thx i like this it sounds easy and not alot of stuff
can we skip the xylitol?
Thank you
Chocolate is only toxic in large quantities. fyi.
marwa nabil i saw another, similar recipe where they were using salt instead of xylitol (which is a type of sugar)
KM salt is a type of sugar?
go to 3:00 to skip all the bullshit talking
like really? 3 mins of talking, we want to see the fucking tutorial,
Vikktor R Keep Calm
thank you for that☺
Thank you! !!!
+Vikktor R she's just telling us what it is what it does come down
awsome!! cnt wait to try this, thanks for sharing, from the uk.x
+ajwa boateng
Hope you like it!
Hi Ashley, this looks like a wonderful idea! I had no clue toothpaste was that harsh for our teeth. (BTW I keep washing my hair with vinegar and apple cider vinegar and to this day am loving it) So I will give this a try, wondering do you think I can find Xylitol at a local Walmart, or should I go to a natural food store? And where would you suggest to store the natural toothpaste? Because our weather is tropical so I am pretty sure it will melt with no trouble if I were to keep it at my pantry.
Too much talking! If you want to talk, at least work on your product while doing so. You come to a stand-still to talk or explain something. While I do appreciate your knowledge on making toothpaste, i cannot subscribe and listen to another video that should be a 2 minute tutorial instead of 7 minutes. Sorry.
If you don't want to listen to 7 minutes of talking, open the description box and read the recipe, simple enough. Some people like to listen to the description of ingredients and why they were chosen, if you don't want to hear it don't watch it.
Comon Lady..U talk too much! Speak only necessary instruction only.
get to the point geez lol
Cold Blooded!!!
ungrateful shit
TheBorneoprincess shut up and let the bitch talk
TheBorneoprincess all that pussy footing around
Will definately try this.
( :
Hi Ashley, how is life in the green lane! Thanks so much for sharing this with the masses, I am going to defo try this out as my intention was to find a way of making natural toothpaste and you have answered my question now. Thanks a lot again and I look forward to viewing your channel. 1 love from London...Uncle Mik
You talk too much 😧
I agree with you
be nice ..
Thanks, Ashley... I like it!
love this! thanks for sharing!
You're welcome!
I use organic stevia in my clay based toothpaste. It's slightly bitter but helps the toothpaste to not be so salty.
great video thanks,will it be ok to use this daily?coz i think it's good to use baking soda once weekl7
only,thanks again
Thank you for your videos. Have used both the deodorant and the toothpaste. Your video is clear and no nonsense. Blessings on your pregnancy!
+Autsom57 Aww thanks! So glad they helped you.
Hello and thanks for posting this video. My question is: The expiration time is 1 month or less? can need to be stored in a freezer or at normal temperatures?
Thank you
Ashley: Thank you for your recipe! My five year old daughter ask if we could make this pink! Any suggestions? Many thanks.
AWESOME idea & recipe ..thank you :)
I have been using Dr, Bronner's peppermint soap to brush my teeth since I started going green, I am used to the soap taste and it doesn't bother me at all now. Do you think that putting some in this would help as well? I love the way my teeth feel now that I have stopped using regular toothpaste. I will have to give this a try for sure.
Thanks for this video. I've heard mixed things about Glycerin so i'm glad you don't use it. Do you use any type of home made mouth wash? About the baking soda some people say its to harsh to you it every day, what do you think about this?
I just started making my own as well, I substitute stevia for my sweetener and add a touch of sea salt to my mixture as well as some Calcium Carbonate. I also use Essential Peppermint Oil for the flavoring due to the antiseptic properties of the stuff.
***** Cool, thanks for sharing!
do you uss it everyday is it safe
I would add grapefruitseed extract to my recipe. I will be trying this. Thanks.
Nice idea, hope it turns out good for you!
You're welcome! The only suggestion I have for making it pink would be to put some natural food coloring in it, I use India Tree's Nature's Colors. See more about this in my video "How to Color Frosting Quickly and Naturally" but even then I worry it would turn her teeth pink. But then again, maybe not...if you try it you'll have to let me know how it turns out. ( :
How long does the jar typically last you? Do you ever make multiple jars and does it keep well? Sorry if these have been asked already.
Thank you! Really appreciate it! ;)
Ashley green life thank you so much for posting this info im going to try this technique and you did your thang. But I would also like to see any other tuturiols you have
Irisha irishag@ymail.com You're welcome! Hope you can watch a few of my other videos as well! Here's a link to my blog where I list all my tutorial videos: www.ashleysgreenlife.com/p/green-body.html
Thanks will do
***** Hello I made the toothpaste but I used stevia intead of xylitol my question is to make the toothpaste more sweeter I used 2 more tbs of the peppermint extract was I suppose to do that?
gonna try this
Ashley, I am a person who just watched your videos and I love the organic products. I have one problem with the toothpaste. Xylitol. Xylitol is a poisin to dogs. I have dogs. I was wondering if there is a substitute for this ingredient. If so, please respond.
Hey there. I made the recipe and I am loving using this toothpaste! I have a few questions though. I accidentally ordered peppermint oil instead of peppermint extract on Amazon. Is it acceptable to use peppermint oil in this recipe? I wasn't sure if the peppermint oil would be dangerous to swallow (if children used this recipe). Also, I used virgin coconut oil vs. extra virgin. Does that make a difference in this recipe? And lastly, will/do your children use this toothpaste? Thanks :)
Thanks for the reply. I had bought a "natural" mouth wash but noticed it had vegetable glycerin so I stopped using it. I've been doing oil pulling every morning for a week and will continue for a few more weeks. This is a bit off topic but do you use bleach or any type of hair dye? I know Henna is ok but it only seems to work if you wanna darken your hair not lighten it. Are you using any hair dyes? Thanks :)
Thank you for this video!!!
You're welcome!
Thanks hun. I am making me some asap.
You're welcome.
THANKS LOOKS GOOD AND HEALTHY.
