The best toothpaste isn\u2019t from a store. It\u2019s something you make at home yourself. And the best homemade toothpaste is one that works well and tastes good enough that you and your family will actually use it. Making your own helps you avoid toxic chemicals and additives.<\/p>\n

Here are three specific reason\u00a0 to make your own toothpaste<\/a>:

Homemade Toothpaste Recipe<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Your homemade toothpaste will have no SLS. <\/strong>Sodium lauryl sulfate is used to break surface tension in a wide variety of personal care items, including most store-bought toothpastes. Some people use products with SLS all the time and don\u2019t have any problems, but the product has shown strong links to allergies and can make canker sore flare ups worse and dry out your mouth. That means that avoiding SLS can improve your oral health.<\/li>\n
  2. A clean mouth may mean a healthy heart. <\/strong>There is an established link between oral health and heart health. Using the best homemade toothpaste you can create instead of something from the store means you\u2019ll be avoiding fluoride and also getting your teeth clean and your mouth healthy without adding chemicals to your body. And clean teeth may mean less chance of heart disease, less risk of stroke and better health overall.<\/li>\n
  3. You need to maintain healthy pH. <\/strong>The best homemade toothpaste recipe is one that takes pH into account because a neutral pH contributes to healthier teeth and gums. When you prevent acid, you\u2019re preventing the destruction of your teeth and the accumulation of hazardous plaque and the bacteria it contains. Saliva helps with this, and so does the right homemade toothpaste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you understand that the best homemade toothpaste contributes to overall health in these and so many other ways, it doesn\u2019t make sense to buy something as important as toothpaste at the grocery store or a big discount chain anymore. It\u2019s important enough to make at home so you can maintain strict control over the formula.<\/p>\n
