Notes
Toothpaste Variation: To make the tooth powder into toothpaste, add ¼ cup hot purified OR distilled water AND 1 tablespoon coconut oil, extra-virgin AND unrefined, plus more as needed.
To add teeth whitening benefits, open capsules of activated charcoal into the tooth powder. Be sure to follow by brushing with mouthwash and brush your teeth again after using mouthwash.
Bentonite clay can react with metal, so be sure to make and store this recipe in a glass container.
