I believe mouth care is important and there are simple things you can do to ensure healthy gums and teeth which will provide a beautiful smile and money savings come dentist time!

Simple ingredients, such as bentonite clay and baking soda provide a gentle scrub. IF you’re unfamiliar with bentonite clay – It has the ability to bind and draw out toxins!

According to Dr.Axe:

Bentonite clay benefits your body in several key ways:

It helps to expel toxins and heavy metals.

It has antibacterial properties and fights off various pathogens responsible for disease, such as E. coli and the virus that causes staph infection.

It contains a range of nutrients. Bentonite clay is known to have an abundance of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, silica, sodium, copper, iron and potassium.

Here is a step by step tutorial so you can see just how quick and easy this recipe is. I like to put it in a nice container and give as gifts with a recyclable wooden or bamboo toothbrush!

I use this tooth powder in conjunction with an herbal mouth wash rinse that I plan to film in the future. We use soft bristle compostable brushes in our home. No need to tear up your mouth with stiff hard bristles, the powder is what needs to do the job.
