Allulose supposedly doesn’t contribute to cavities, but it doesn’t have the enamel supporting and cavity fighting benefits of xylitol. If you don’t have xylitol you can omit it from the recipe.

Any healthy, food grade liquid oil would work.

You could probably replace some of the powder in the recipe with the charcoal powder and it will still work fine.

I’m glad it’s working well for you and your family! The information here is specifically about the research on topical applications to enamel and the effects it has on teeth and gums. https://www.nature.com/articles/sj.bdj.2013.629

Since calcium carbonate is the main ingredient the toothpaste won’t really work without it. Katie has several toothpaste recipes that don’t use calcium, like this one here if you want to try this instead. https://wellnessmama.com/1772/natural-toothpaste/

Hey what blender do you use for this recipe?

clove actually sounds great! remember thst old-time gum that was clove-flavored? the packaging was white. what a great idea! my EO flavor of choice iwll be clove!

that sounds neat. i came here bec i’m going at a homemade toothpaste formthe first time. imwill be using the whiteenimg recipe with calcium carbonate, xylitol crystals, some calcium bentonite, coconut oil for the medium chain fatty acid oil in the recipe, and will be adding some Magnolia Bark powder, amd each person is picking their essential oil flavor of choice. spearmint seems to be the favorite. so now because of your post, i might add a little turmeric as well. i don’t have any spirulina on hand.

My husband and I have also noticed a sensitivity and bleeding on the gum line. Not sure what the cause is.

Yes and we love it!
