Just ‘cuz their baby teeth fall out doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a good toothpaste! Start ’em young using the good stuff and by the time they have their adult chompers, they’ll know what’s up! Store bought brands are oh-so-tasty, but also oh-so-full of crap. This DIY Toothpaste for kids not only removes toxins, but encourages tooth enamel mineralization. Did I mention that it tastes like yummy orange goodness too?! Prefer an oil-free recipe? Try this one on for size!

What you need

  • DIY Toothpaste for kids
Shop the supplies

Baking soda

  • Is alkaline and anti-fungal
  • Neutralizes acids
  • Helps to remove plaque and tooth stains

Bentonite clay

  • Rich in minerals and helps to remove toxins
  • Is a natural polisher

Xylitol

  • A natural sweetener that helps to prevent tooth decay

Air-tight container

  • I love using glass containers for my DIY products, the one I used was a repurposed pickled ginger container, but I’ve linked something similar for you just in case!
  • Making this DIY Toothpaste for kids and other made-at-home products is a great way to lower your plastic usage and be more eco-friendly, since you are not only buying less products packaged in plastic, but also using more non-toxic ingredients. High five, Mother Earth!
DIY Toothpaste for kids

How to make

  1. Open up your air-tight container and get ready to add:
  2. 1 tablespoon each of Baking soda, Bentonite clay and Xylitol
  3. And remember: use a non-metal utensil! Bentonite clay reacts with metal and we want to reserve all of its beneficial properties
  4. Next, add 2 tablespoons of Coconut oil
  5. Finally, add 6 drops of Wild Orange essential oil or your kiddos favorite essential oil. Just make sure they are safe for internal use
  6. Now, stir until everything combines to form a paste
  7. Add to your air-tight container
  8. All done!

Ways to use

  • Dip your dry toothbrush into the air-tight container
  • A pea-sized amount of toothpaste is all you need for small kiddie teeth
  • Brush as normal
  • Enjoy
