Homemade Toothpaste

Just mix 2/3 cup baking soda, filtered water to your liking, 1 tsp of sea salt (optional - our first batch with salt, Sean did not like), and 10-15 drops of peppermint essential oil (or orange or spearmint, etc.).  I put more like 30 drops of peppermint this time because we didn't think 15 drops was enough.  Super easy and not bad tasting and cost effective!  And we have both gotten comments on our pearly whites!!!!  :)  We still bought the kiddos Tom's toothpaste because I'm not sure they would like our homemade stuff.  Maybe I will give it a try with them some time though.
