I brush my teeth with virgin organic coconut oil dipped in diatomaceous earth or raw kefir/yogurt

Toothpaste and mouthwash are a scam

They’re meant to completely eradicate ALL bacterial in your oral biome

No wonder we see a surge of little kids with dental cavities

Guaranteed it affects mouth breathing too, there’s just no research on it yet

DE contains some trace minerals but is mostly comprised of calcium and silica, which can help remineralize your teeth

Just don't use in excess as it can be abrasive on the dentin

And make sure you get *food grade* DE if you try it out

Alternatively, you can try making your own probiotic remineralizing toothpaste if you're dead set on having that same toothpaste consistency

Here's a good site with recipes for adults and even kids:

An interesting read on the effectiveness of remineralizing toothpaste over conventional toothpaste

Oh, and if you're *really* lazy

Earthpaste is a good fluoride-free option

Same company that sells Redmond real salt

Only ingredients are purified water, bentonite clay, non-GMO xylitol, essential oils, salt

I didn't mean for this to turn into a thread, but here we are hehe thx for reading ☺️
