Angie’s DIY Remineralizing Tooth Powder

AngieMohr

Combine the following in a bowl:

  • 4 Tbsp Baking Soda
  • 3 Tbsp Bentonite Clay 
  • 1 Tbsp Christopher’s Original Formulas, Herbal Tooth & Gum Powder
  • 1 tsp natural salt (Himalayan, Celtic or sea salt) 
  • 20 capsules (about 2  Tbsp)  Hydroxyapatite (open capsules and empty powder into bowl)
  • 2 Tbsp powdered xylitol (birch-based is best, and if it’s not powdered you should powder it in a blender, coffee grinder or a mortar and pestle).
  • 20-40 drops Essential oils of your choice (see below) NOTE: Start with less and add more if needed. Oils like cinnamon are very strong and would recommend using less drops if using cinnamon and clove, especially for children. This time I used 40 drops of cinnamon EO and may add more. I started with 20 and kept adding 10 more and whisked well before using again.
  • Optional Adds for Extra Magic: 1 tsp activated charcoal (for whitening blasts, but use sparingly – blackens everything temporarily) or 5-10 drops clove EO (pairs with cinnamon for numbing gum pain and fresh breath without overwhelming)
  • Borax – 1 tsp (optional)
  • MIX WELL. If you use the essential oils whisk dry ingredients first. Then drip in EOs slowly while stirring like a mad alchemist – press with spoon to smash lumps. Store in a glass jar away from moisture, no plastic.  

How to Use

Pour a small amount onto palm of hand or into a small bathroom cup. I spray my toothbrush with colloidal silver before and after brushing. Load the toothbrush thick for a past-like polish. Brush all surfaces 2-3 min.

About the Ingredients

  • Xylitol Adds sweetness and helps fight plaque and gingivitis inflammation. It also helps prevent cavities and binds with calcium to help remineralize teeth. Some people have reported it has healed their cavities.

  • Baking soda – helps remove stains and whiten teeth does not harm tooth enamel. It helps remove plaque. If you are sensitive to baking soda use extra clay.
  • Bentonite Clay – Works like an astringent by helping to remove tartar and clean the gums. As soon as bentonite clay comes in contact with the bacteria and toxins in your mouth, it absorbs them and replaces them with minerals. The abrasive action of clay also removes old stains. According to the International Association of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, brushing with bentonite clay three times per day can even address gingivitis and severe periodontal disease by removing dangerous bacteria and nourishing the teeth and gums with restorative minerals.

  • Natural Salt –  contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which possess antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Salt helps to neutralize acids in the mouth, balance pH levels, and inhibit the growth of bacteria responsible for plaque and gum disease.The gentle abrasive nature of salt aids in removing surface stains and debris from teeth.
  • Hydroxyapatite – “When hydroxyapatite particles come into contact with the tooth enamel, they release calcium and phosphate ions. These ions interact with the minerals in the enamel and saliva, leading to the formation of a new layer of apatite crystals on the tooth surface”. Go here for more info: https://livingwellwithdrmichelle.com/is-hydroxyapatite-safe/
I use this Hydroxyapatite – microcrystalline straight bone-sourced calcium phosphate, no synthetic nano-poison like Big Pharma slips in). It’s nature’s enamel rebuilder, pulling minerals back into teeth.

  •  
  • Essential oils – You have the option to choose one or more (or all) of the following: 
  • Cinnamon – stops tooth decay-related pathogens (Streptococcus Mutans, Candida) so health-supporting microbes can thrive. Reduces inflammation and increases circulation.
  • Peppermint – Cools inflammation & stops gum-disease-related pathogens (e.g. P. Gingivalis) It may help prevent cold sores.
  • Spearmint – Cools inflammation & stops gum-disease-related pathogens (e.g. P. Gingivalis) so health-supporting microbes can thrive.
  • Clove – Freshens breath, increases circulation, antimicrobial, reduces pain in sensitive teeth, soothes sensitive oral tissue, 
  • Myrrh – increases blood flow to the area. It is antimicrobial, reduces plaque buildup and promotes healthier gums. Additionally, myrrh can help alleviate mouth ulcers and bad breath by neutralizing odors and reducing inflammation.

I use these essential oils from Edens Garden: https://bit.ly/2FC7pkk
AND for tooth powder I often use this cinnamon oil from iHerb: https://www.iherb.com/pr/now-foods-essential-oils-cinnamon-cassia-1-fl-oz-30-ml/915?rcode=ATJ5704

I got this a couple weeks ago and it really does work. I got stains and plaque off the backs of my bottom front teeth mainly where I get stains from tea. I don’t have other plaque that I know of.

  2. Is the Xylitol bad for you? I read somewhere, I think it was on a dental site, that it is. Thank you for any clarification!

    1. Xylitol is fine for humans, in moderation – but brushing your teeth with it not like eating it, it actually can help HEAL cavities that’s why some people like to chew xylitol gum.

    2. No, it’s great for teeth and good in gum for your teeth. I wouldn’t eat tons of it but do use it for teeth. I don’t use it as a sweetener myself.

  3. Your links for the Teeth Cleaning Kit for Adult, Electric Teeth Cleaning Tools don’t work. I went to Amazon & there were several models, but I don’t know which one you linked to.

    1. Yeah this is an older post, but updated. Sorry, I didn’t update the links I will look to see if they have another seller selling what I’m using but I know others work similarly. They work well but be careful, don’t overdo it, I only use mine about once or twice a month.

  4. Can this be done without essential oils? I’m not much for flavors in my tooth powder. Currently I just use straight baking soda and while it keeps my mouth clean and cavity-free (much to the distress of my dentist who argued with me), it doesn’t get rid of stains.

    Reply

    1. Absolutely it can. The oils are optional. They aren’t what whitens. I use cinnamon because I love it. I might do without the oils if there was no cinnamon either but yeah, I was using baking soda with cinnamon for a long time but didn’t get rid of that slight yellow tinge. It was enough that I didn’t like wearing white shirts any more, it made the yellowish more obvious. Not that my teeth are pure white they aren’t, but they aren’t yellow at all, just a bit of an off-white which I’m fine with.
      I will wear white now and don’t feel that it makes my teeth look discolored.

    1. Safe Start Age: 2-3 years, once they spit like pros (no swallowing!). Supervise always, pea-sized dab on a wet brush. Of course they will end up swallowing a little, but it’s not full of toxins, especially fluoride like commercial paste is so 1000 times safer.
      Kid-Friendly Version (Scaled Down Batch):
      Mix in a bowl:

      2 Tbsp Baking Soda
      1.5 Tbsp Bentonite Clay (food-grade, tested for purity—skip if worried about traces)
      0.5 Tbsp Christopher’s Herbal Tooth & Gum Powder
      0.5 tsp Natural Salt (Himalayan/Celtic/Sea)
      10 capsules Hydroxyapatite (about 1 Tbsp powder)
      1 Tbsp Powdered Xylitol (birch-based)
      10-20 drops Mild Essential Oils (try spearmint/orange over cinnamon/clove to avoid irritation—start low)
      Optional: 0.5 tsp Activated Charcoal (for fun whitening, use rarely, it makes a mess!)

      Whisk dry stuff first, drip in EOs slow while stirring. Store in glass jar, away from moisture.
      Why Tweaks?

      Dialed back everything for smaller batch/kid portions—less is more to minimize any gulp risks.
      EOs reduced: Potent oils like cinnamon/clove can tingle or irritate young gums; milder ones keep it gentle.
      Skipped Borax: Natural mineral, but can upset tummies if swallowed; not worth it for kids (I vibe with boron citrate for adults instead).
      No other baddies here—hydroxyapatite rebuilds enamel safely, xylitol fights cavities without sugar crash.

  7. Hi do you recommend any other routine for crushing cavities and remineralizing teeth or any other advice in addition to using this toothpaste for someone that had some cavities but also some demineralize tooth? i know you said you dont sell it but is there any one close already done toothpaste that you recommend also using while waiting to get hold of all the ingredients for diy this one ? thanks

    1. Good mouth health is built from the inside out. Nutrient dense foods, good mineral supplements are key. Chewing xylitol gum can help existing cavities. You don’t have to have every single ingredient to start using your own DIY powder – clay and xylitol and hydroxyapatite is fine, if waiting for those, if you order from my iHerb links they deliver quickly.
