      I've heard people say it has been a concern for them, so I'm not positive that it's safe in every case, but we haven't had that issue. I also just use a tiny amount of toothpaste on the toothbrush. When oil pulling with coconut oil, I definitely recommend not putting it down the sink (we spit in a trashcan lined with a trash bag and a paper towel) because you use a lot more for oil pulling than for brushing teeth.

    • @ArtfulHomemaking
      @ArtfulHomemaking  Год назад +1

      I've only ever used 2-4 tablespoons of baking soda, so I'm not sure. It's a pretty flexible recipe though, so it may be okay regardless. The consistency of the toothpaste will also vary depending on the temperature in your house. The coconut oil will be more of a liquid at warmer temperatures, and more of a solid at cooler temperatures.

      It should be good at room temperature for quite a few months. Since we have several people at a time using it, ours never lasts that long. The only thing I know of that might make it not last as long is if water were to get in the jar. I've heard others say that you should use a spoon or something to apply it to your toothbrush (rather than dipping the wet brush in the jar) to prevent it from getting wet. Hope this helps!

    Can you use toothpastes homemade with baking soda more than a few times a week? Like as long as you brush with it softly do you find your teeth are just fine to use this everyday?

    • @ArtfulHomemaking
      @ArtfulHomemaking  2 года назад +2

      I usually alternate using this homemade toothpaste with a natural clay-based toothpaste. According to the American Dental Association Relative Dentin Abrasiveness chart, baking soda is considered by the ADA to be a low-abrasive substance for brushing teeth. However, I would always recommend asking your dentist if you have any concerns about the safety of a particular toothpaste for your teeth and dental enamel.

    • @Bizeecentral
      @Bizeecentral 2 года назад

      ​@@ArtfulHomemaking Okay what do you find is nice about clay based toothpastes? I've never heard of these types. You alternate during the day? Or by day? Like lets say in the morning you use this natural toothpaste and then the clay based in the night, or is it like one day its all natural toothpaste and the next is all clay based toothpaste?
      I can obviously see your teeth in the video but do you notice sufficient remineralization is occurring with your teeth and your enamel is as good as ever?
      Also do you think xylitol is better than using stevia for these toothpastes?

    • @ArtfulHomemaking
      @ArtfulHomemaking  2 года назад +1

      I just like that the clay toothpaste is all natural and supposedly good for teeth. I alternate by whatever I have on hand at the time. I've been using the clay lately (for the past year or so) just because it's easier (I can just buy a tube of it rather than having to make it).
      I'm not sure about the health of enamel and remineralization, which is dependent on so many factors. I'm of the opinion that this has more to do with diet than what you use to brush with. Following a Weston Price/Nourishing Traditions type of diet is what seems to work for a lot of people. My 20-year-old daughter grew up on this type of diet, and she still has no cavities! She also does oil pulling, so that may help too.
      Xylitol has been reported to have beneficial effects on teeth, but stevia has not, so that's the reason for using xylitol.

    • @ArtfulHomemaking
      @ArtfulHomemaking  Год назад +2

      Yes, that is one thing about coconut oil products. They tend to become very solid in cold weather.
      I haven't tried this myself, but I've read that you can add 3-6+ tablespoons (not sure exactly how much) of distilled water to thin out the mixture and make it a softer toothpaste. Adding water does shorten the shelf-life of the toothpaste, but if it's being used up quickly (within a week or two-may need to make smaller batches), it shouldn't cause too much of an issue.

I think there's so much more to dental health than the type of toothpaste that's used (although I do believe it matters). Diet and overall health can also have an impact on teeth. I recommend looking into Weston A. Price if you haven't already.

      That depends on several factors. If you use virgin coconut oil, it lasts for at least a year, potentially several years. Refined coconut oil has a slightly shorter shelf life than virgin coconut oil. Water decreases the shelf life, so making sure to keep water out of the jar of toothpaste will help it to last longer. If you use a small spoon to scoop it out (rather than dipping a toothbrush into the jar), that will increase the shelf life. Hope that helps!

    I followed the recipe but it's summer and the house is set at 82 which is fine for us. But the mixture separated with oil on the top. I was really excited to shift from generic toothpaste to homemade but this is makes it more messy.

      Yes, that is one of the downsides of using coconut oil products. It will turn to liquid at higher temperatures, as it has a melting point of 78 degrees. In the winter (if the house is cold) it will be pretty solid.

      Baking soda and a touch of salt and water only. It will get dry over time but you can just add water. Baking soda if really the only effective ingredient.

    How long can you dry store it? I've been using coconut oil, essential oil, sea salt and baking soda. And it's been stored for more than 3 weeks
    Great video, thanks

      It should be good at room temperature for quite a few months. Since we have several people at a time using it, ours never lasts that long. The only thing I know of that might make it not last as long is if water were to get in the jar. I've heard others say that you should use a spoon or something to apply it to your toothbrush (rather than dipping the wet brush in the jar) to prevent it from getting wet. Hope this helps!

    What about fluoride?

    • @ArtfulHomemaking
      @ArtfulHomemaking  Год назад

      This recipe does not contain fluoride. There are some natural toothpaste options available online (like Hello and Tom's of Maine) that include fluoride.

    Why not just coconut oil and sodium bicarbonate? I don't understand the need for other ingredients. Why would we need it to taste better?

    Doesn't baking soda erode the enamel in your teeth?

    • @ArtfulHomemaking

      According to the American Dental Association Relative Dentin Abrasiveness chart, baking soda is considered by the ADA to be a low-abrasive substance for brushing teeth. However, I would always recommend asking your dentist if you have any concerns about the safety of a particular toothpaste for your teeth and dental enamel.

    Do you have healthy teeth? I’m going to make it.

    • @ArtfulHomemaking
      @ArtfulHomemaking  11 месяцев назад

      I started using natural toothpaste in part because I was trying to improve my dental health. But I do have two adult children who have never had a single cavity. I think diet also plays a role in dental health, so I recommend looking into Weston A. Price if you haven't already.
