Our family motto for selecting hygiene products is “keep it clean and simple”. I keep this tonic on my kitchen counter for an in-between meals oral rinse and also in my bathroom for brushing my teeth.
With 4 clean and simple ingredients you can make my “famous” Tooth Tonic. ~ Dr. Taylor
Ingredients
Spring Water (8oz)
Xylitol (3Tbsp)
Baking Soda (1Tbsp)
Essential Oil
∗ As with any good recipe, adjust the ingredients to meet your taste preferences — take it easy on the essential oil to start.
The Benefits
- Baking soda and xylitol are both basic and can help bring the pH of you mouth from acidic to a healthier alkaline level.
- Xylitol is antibacterial and can lower the overall population of the critters that promote tooth decay.
- Essential oils add flavor but are often also antiviral, antibacterial and/or antifunal — depending on your selection.
