I made a post on Facebook on how I hadn’t gone to the dentist in 7 years.
Well, after a stellar bill of health from the dentist I also admitted something else..
I DON’T USE TOOTHPASTE!!!
aghhhh!! gross, they say!!
Well… I’ve found a few new things that are awesome for cleaning the mouth:
Oil Pulling and Brushing with DIRT
You can get the Primal Life Organic Toothmud here

I have heard of the oil pullling before. I just don’t know how I could swish coconut oil for that long without swallowing it:) Guess I’ll try and see.
its not too hard not to swallow when you’re concentrating on it.. its harder not to drool! LOL
How long does one of the little tooth powders last?
hmm I’m not sure, I’ve had it for about a month now and I have a TON left… looks like it may last me about 2-3 months or more!
I love oil pulling!!! Been doing it off and on for a year and I was so excited to see you were talking about it!’n I’m in on the April challenge! I feel great when I’m consistent with it (leads one to wonder why I am not consistent then….lol!) so your motivation is totally appreciated!!!
awesome!!!
Is it important to do oil pulling on an empty stomach?
I have read in some places that it is.. but I also do it at night when I’ve eaten all day.. I figure doing it at all is better than not.. so I don’t think in the grand scheme of things it matters
go to the primal earth organics website, or google homemade toothpaste homemade deodorant etc, and like the commenter It Begins With Food said about her hair: Don’t waste money BUYING these products, make them yourself for the couple bucks it’ll take in a fun afternoon. You are corporate whores even if you are following an organic product
WHOA! Corporate whores?!?! These are handmade by someone.. would be not be corporate whores even if we buy coconut oil and baking soda? goodness. LOL
I have been doing this for a while now and I love it. I also use the PLO toothpaste and oil and it is awesome!
Danny, my dad said he also read somewhere that you can rub your teeth with banana peels and it helps polish them!
oh goodness… hmmm have you tried? LOL
I stopped using traditional toothpaste months ago becuz of the flouride. I’ll use coco oil and baking soda or Toms toothpaste. I’ve oil pulled before… must get back to doing it
TheraBreath is another great toothpaste…not sure if it’s considered ‘organic’ or anything along those lines, but when I made the switch, I never went back to regular toothpaste.
Yep I brush my teeth with mud too, I have a body care line too and make it.
I make it in orange as well, people love it.
