Toothpaste or TTOP

Here is my recipe for toothpaste or TTOP, as my nephew dubbed it. It doesn't taste great like regular toothpaste, but it isn't as salty as my original recipe that I found online.

Ingredients:
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (EVCO), 4 tsp
Baking soda, 1/8 tsp
Tea tree essential oil, 2 - 3 drops

Mix ingredients and store in container. I was using a small plastic container with a lid, but I just made some and used a travel-sized shampoo dispenser. I will let you know how this new dispenser works.

Where to purchase the ingredients:
EVCO - I purchased at GNC.
Tea tree essential oil - I purchased at Chuck's Healthfood Store.
Baking soda - I purchased a really big bag at Costco

What I've been told:
* Baking soda changes the pH in your mouth. Too much will not allow the enzymes in your mouth to kill the bacteria.
* Tea tree oil kills bad bacteria in your mouth.
