No, but I just looked it up and might order the peppermint one! Is that the one you mean?

I like Welleda Salt Toothpaste and a powder one called The Dirt or something like that.

Yes! I like it a lot. Nothing in it irritates my mouth. The taste isn't that great, but it goes away as soon as you spit it out.

I have been using it about 2 years now, I really like it.

I use the peppermint and the spearmint. It has really helped my gums.

I really want to make my own toothpaste.

Seen many ‘recipes’ on YouTube/online.

Any suggestions?

@goldensrbest Yes I have used it. Two reasons I do not like it.

First reason Is I do not like dipping my tooth brush into the jar....I think it is unsanitary. I suppose you could use a spoon to dip it out and apply to the brush....but WHO WOULD REALLY DO THAT?

Second reason is that it tends to dry out fast and become difficult to get out of the jar.

I haven't heard of it. I can see were a jar could present a problem.

Are these the clay based "toothpastes" that occasionally pop up as a facebook ad for me?

I'm intrigued by them as I have gum disease and sensitive teeth. Crest stopped making the sensitive toothpaste I used to use and Sensodyne isn't cutting it.

I know they also claim to whiten - has that happened for anyone?

Thanks.

I have sensitive teeth and gum recession (from food sensitivities) and moving away from traditional tooth pastes have been the best thing EVER for me.

I was even using Rx toothpaste from the dentist for years. A few months into using the all natural toothpastes in glass jars has been a game changer. My dentist can not believe the difference.

My sensitivity has decreased by 90%, my gums look great, I have VERY little plaque or tarter to scrap at my check ups.

I do NOT use any toothpaste with activated charcoal.

Whitening - is hard for me to say, my teeth are very white naturally.

@Abrowneyegirl

I hesitated to post this video since it was made by a total unknown YouTuber with no fancy charts or studies (!), but she says exactly

what you posted! She had sensitive teeth & it cleared up when

she began using her own homemade toothpaste to

demineralized her teeth. She promotes a certain herbal company

for her products (no sponsorship), but it’s just her excited way

to show it works. After reading your post & watching her video

again, I decided to dive in & get everything to give-it-a-try!

Hope this inspires someone!

I hope you like it!

If you find the line works for you Uncle Harry's does sell a re-mineralization kit. I would try it but I had already bought something similar (and much more $$$) from another line.

Good luck!

@Abrowneyegirl

I got my order in yesterday...everything was in 1lb bags,

so I have a feeling I’ll have enough for quite some time!

Do you store the DE, bentonite clay, etc in the refrigerator?

Or is the cabinet ok?

@sidsmom

None of the ingredients need to be refrigerated. The cabinet is fine.

The DIY toothpaste sounds interesting. I like the taste of baking soda as toothpaste so I think I’d skip the stevia, maybe even the cinnamon, and add them depending on how my tastebuds react.

You’d better like it! Let us know! Someone could make a fortune selling small amounts to people who do things like make their own toothpaste

I get my DE in 1 or 2 lb bags. I transfer it to a large jar and toss the bag.

@willdob3

Before it was all said & done, I placed a $30 order for my toothpaste stuff! And with a lb of each, I have a feeling that’ll last me f.o.r.e.v.e.r!

Operation Homemade Toothpaste begins!

Got all my materials, mixed everything together & places in little jars.

I’ve used it just once this afternoon...and it cleaned really well.

Of course, there’s no foam...and when I rinse it kinda looks like dirt,

but it’s all for the greater good!

I’m using this homemade approach for more for a

waste-reduction outlook...and whitening, to boot.

Here we go!

Be very careful buying Bentonite clay for toothpaste or any internal use as several samples tested have been found to contain high levels of LEAD.

I know Redmond is a safe brand.

I just received SprinJene Natural Toothpaste (4 choices). I also use pronamel (sensodyne). Bought on co stco dot com. I rinse with ACT mouthwash.
