Tonight i tried the last toothpaste recipe on this post: Toothpaste Post
I used regular sugar instead of stevia and ended up using 1/2 teaspoon (it probably could have used a bit more)
I also used peppermint extract instead of ‘oil’ and i don’t know if they are actually different or basically the same thing.
It did end up very salty tasting and only slightly minty. But the up side is that it does not leave any after taste so you don’t have to keep on tasting that salty flavor… which is good.
It seems to work well, although this is only my first time using it. My true test will be having my husband, who is really picky, try this. I think it would be something i would continue using. The salt taste is standable, and i believe that could lessen with more sugar and more flavorings.
At Wal-Mart in their craft/wedding section i bought some containers that almost look like old cafe ketchup bottles. I used that to put my homemade toothpaste in and i think it worked very well (although i had to prop it upside down).
I’ll write more after i get more info and opinions on it.

Ok, here is alittle more info on the toothpaste. Mt hubby who hates the natrual toothpastes you can buy, tried the paste and said it was something that he could continue using.
I know this isn't because it tastes good (the opposite). I think it's because it's so much cheaper.
Also i believe after the 4 days of use my teeth are actually whiter, surprising as that is. But grant it i brush my teeth like 4+ times a day because i have braces, so in my case i'm more likely to get whiter faster then the average person.
But i do think it works pretty good :)
