Combine about 1/2 cup of baking soda with about 5 drops of an essential oil of your choice. Stir thoroughly to distribute the oil. Store in an airtight jar.
To use, get your toothbrush head wet, then dip into the powder to coat the head with baking soda. Brush as normal.
The alkaline nature of baking soda neutralizes any acid in your mouth, preventing it from creating cavities. It also scrubs away plaque with continued use.
You can choose essential oils according to flavor, but there are a few that are supposed to be anti-biotic, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. From what I've read, these include lavender oil, tea tree oil, lemon oil, sage oil, myrhh oil, and neem oil. Neem oil is supposed to be amazing, but I haven't used it yet. I'm theorizing a fancier version of tooth powder that I will post later if I get positive results.
