Tooth Powder, Fancier.

4 Tbls. baking powder
1 Tbls. green clay powder
1 tsp. neem oil
10 drops peppermint oil

Stir together the baking powder and green clay powder. Add the oils, mixing thoroughly. Store in an airtight dedicated plastic or glass container.

To use, get toothbrush head wet and dip into the powder. Brush as normal.

From what I've read, green clay powder helps remineralize the enamel on your teeth, making them stronger. Neem oil is antiseptic, but it has a strange flavor, hence the amount of peppermint oil. Baking soda, of course, scrubs the teeth and whitens them a bit too.
