The Baking soda and glycerin recipe
This recipe was not the best of them. I tried this one with the glycerin but it was overpowering. I stopped using this one especially after reading more about glycerin and how it stays on your teeth for days. So what I did was omit the glycerin and just used ..

Where to store your new toothpaste?
There are a couple of ways you can store your toothpaste. In my home I use whatever I have available. Anything form a glass jar or a small plastic container. It depends really on your preference. You can have separate containers for you and your family members if you are worried about sharing germs.
Also for the toothpastes that are not in dry form you can use a zip-lock bag to put your toothpaste in and cut the corner so you can just easily squeeze it on your toothbrush.
If yall have any other recipes for toothpaste that you would like to share please leave a comment to share it with the people. Lets put our creative minds together to make sure we are helping and building one another. Something so simple as sharing a recipe shows charity for one another. We have to start somewhere, so I look forward to what you all find and if any of these have worked for you!
