1.Mix three parts baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) with one part table salt (sodium chloride).
2.Add three teaspoons of glycerine for every 1/4 cup of dry mixture.
3.Add enough water to make a thick paste. If desired, a few drops of peppermint oil may be added to improve the taste.
4.Apply and use just as you would any other toothpaste. Store unused toothpaste at room temperature in a covered container.

Toothpaste
This toothpaste doesn't "lather" up, but it does leave your mouth feeling clean and fresh.

5 min 5 min prep
Change to: cup US Metric
1/4 cup bentonite clay
1 tablespoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt (I use Real Salt)
1 tablespoon vegetable glycerine
1 tablespoon distilled water or natural mouthwash
7-13 drops essential oils (preferrably Thieves or Birch)

Mix all dry ingredients add remaining ingredients mix well.
Store in covered glass container.
Baby food jars work well.
You don't need as much of this paste as you would store bought toothpaste.
Note: If you want to leave out the vegetable glycerine and use all distilled water or natural mouthwash, you may want to add some Stevia for sweetener.
