Until this winter, I had used commercially prepared teeth-cleaning products, from tooth powder in the ’50s and ’60s, to the “brightening and whitening” national brands. I have tried them all. Some are as advertised but the ingredients are questionable. Some “natural” brands have performed better for me but are very expensive.

This past fall, I came across a very simple recipe for homemade toothpaste so I decided to give it a try. One of the main ingredients is coconut oil. I hadn’t used coconut oil much because it is not local to where I live (coconuts trees do not grow naturally in the Pacific Northwest), but I decided to give it a try for the sake of all natural dental health.
