I have made my own toothpaste for years and would now like to make it with hydroxyapatite, but I haven’t come across such a recipe. Can you recommend a source for this ingredient and provide instructions on using it?

Why are we hearing that baking soda strips the enamel off your teeth?

Wellness Mama does not rely on Lead Safe Mama’s testing as it does not follow industry safety standards or best practices. Here’s an article that addresses the lead concerns in Wellnesse toothpaste. https://wellnesse.com/pages/wellnesse-toothpaste-rebuttal

Hi, Has there been any response to the article stating that the Wellenesse toothpaste contains an astronomical amount of lead? The article from lead safe mama makes this toothpaste out to be awful and they stated they would be reaching out to the FDA. Is this true? Any counter to this? I really loved the toothpaste, so I’m incredibly disappointed.

Hi, I loved this article (along with all of the other informative articles I’ve read on your site). I am interested in your Wellnesse toothpaste, mouthwash and floss but all my attempts have resulted in an error message (“Did you mean Wellness.com?”). When I choose that option I get “Hmm…Page not found”. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing! Katie does recommend xylitol for oral health and doesn’t have concerns with it. You can read more about it here at Wellnesse (which offers toothpaste she helped develop). https://wellnesse.com/blogs/all/xylitol-oral-microbiome

Hello. I just saw a video that a Dr did on toothpastes and xylitol is one of the things he said to not use. He said all the things you have listed plus a couple of others and xylitol was one of them. I thought I would just share in case you hadn’t heard that before.Have a great day

You could try this recipe and omit the stevia. https://wellnessmama.com/natural-home/natural-toothpaste/

Xylitol does have some proven health benefits for enamel and mouth health. Here are Katie’s thoughts on xylitol. https://wellnessmama.com/health/xylitol-healthy/

I don’t understand why you promote xylitol? Isn’t it as bad as the other sugar alcohols you listed as “bad”?

In reply to Jamie Larrison. Thank you, I would love this for me. I am looking for something for my daughter that's not minty.

Hi!

Have you heard of Dr. Brite? What are your thoughts? Also any suggestions on mouthwash for kids?

I noticed that pretty much all of the listed natural toothpastes have Glycerin in them. I have also read the articles stating that glycerin coats the teeth and blocks remineralisation. In addition, I try to avoid mint in my toothpaste. I used to have a Propolis and Myrrh toothpaste from Trader Joe’s that tasted amazing and worked well, but they stopped carrying it. The Tom’s propolis & myrrh is not the same. Ingredient lists are different.
Currently I’m trying to minimise non-recyclable containers and have picked up a tooth powder to try. So far it is working really well and tastes great. It’s Redmond Earth Powder in “Splashin’ Citrus” flavour. Ingredients are so simple and beat me having to make my own or settle for something that has ingredients I’m avoiding.
Ingredients they use: bentonite clay, xylitol, sea salt, and essential oils.
Katie, if your Wellnesse toothpaste had a clove oil or citrus option, I’d love to try it.

Check out the Urtekram brand from the EU. That’s the one I get in Finland
