Make your own toothpaste
Posted on May 8th, 2007 by Farmers Almanac Staff
Tired of paying top dollar for toothpaste made with baking soda? Try this recipe to make your own.
You’ll need to purchase vegetable glycerin from a drug store. If you can’t find it on the store shelves, ask the pharmacist to order it for you.
In a small container measure 10 T. baking soda and 5 to 6 T. glycerin and stir. Add 1 to 2 t. of peppermint flavoring and combine.
Spoon out as needed and apply to toothbrush. To ensure good oral hygiene, give family members their own little jar and baby spoon.
