This recipe calls for some more unusual ingredients, but bentonite clay has many benefits, including the ability to draw toxins out of the mouth and remineralize teeth. A well-stocked health food store should have all the following ingredients for making your own bentonite clay based toothpaste:  4 tablespoons bentonite clay 3 teaspoons xylitol or 1 tsp stevia (or to taste) ¼ teaspoon sea salt, finely ground 2-3 tablespoons water (adjust to desired consistency) 20 drops of peppermint oil Bentonite clay loses its effectiveness when it comes in contact with any kind of metal so gather a metal-free bowl, fork, and jar. Plastic utensils are a fine alternative to metal forks. Use the fork to thoroughly combine all the ingredients in your bowl. It is recommended to add the dry ingredients first and then add the wet ingredients a little at a time so that you can taste it and tailor the flavorings to your preferences. You can even use a small Tupperware container if desired. To use the toothpaste, you can dip toothbrush in and scrape small amount onto the bristle or you can also use a spoon to apply it onto the toothbrush.

Summary:
Gather your ingredients. Gather your supplies. Mix all ingredients together. Store your new toothpaste in a metal free jar.
