Diatomaceous earth (DE). These sharp bits of silicon are the remains of the shells of tiny aquatic animals called diatoms. It is a mild abrasive and contains trace minerals. Now on to toothpaste! Detoxing my dental routine was an easier switch for me—at least mentally. In practice, though, I've found it much harder to adjust to. My husband and I did our first oil pulling this morning followed by brushing with your toothpaste. The taste during the pulling is something we will both have to learn to deal with (him more than me lol), and even though he didn’t care for the taste of the toothpaste, I can honestly say that for the first time in forever, my teeth actually feel clean! I mean a REAL clean! I couldn’t afford the cinnamon oil this time around, so I subbed in tea tree oil and added more peppermint oil for taste. But whether he likes it or not, we’re going to keep doing it (he hates going to the dentist, too) and I will just do my best to modify the taste for him.

Hydrogen Peroxide. This has a reputation for whitening teeth. But it takes a long time to have that effect (much longer than a typical brushing session). Plus it can be harsh on the soft tissue of your mouth. The action of coconut oil was tested in its natural state and after being treated with enzymes, in a process similar to digestion. The oils were tested against strains of Streptococcus bacteria, which are common inhabitants of your mouth.Coconut oil “pulling” (the process of swishing coconut oil around in your mouth for a few minutes) gained popularity over the past few years, and for good reason. Coconut oil is thought to decrease plaque, whiten teeth and kill bad bacteria that can lead to tooth decay. It’s also an antioxidant and is anti-inflammatory and helps to maintain the proper PH balance in your mouth, which unfortunately can’t be said for some commercial whitening brands. Baking Soda in Toothpaste

This is largely a matter of opinion. Some studies show that xylitol is good for the teeth, while others show it can be dangerous.
