The active ingredient Theobromine in cacao has been found to be as effective( and in some studies outperform) as fluoride. Cacao does not have toxic side effects like fluoride.
Cacao can help remineralize tooth enamel and protect them from cavities.
Instead of using products that have toxic fluoride, you can make this Cacao Toothpaste instead.
5 Tablespoons coconut oil
2 Tablespoons baking soda
1 Tablespoon sea salt
2 Teaspoons organic cacao powder
1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon powder
Soften the coconut oil. (do not use a microwave). You can place it in a warm spot for 30 minutes.
Stir in remaining ingredients until fluffy and mixed.
Store in an airtight container.
To Use: Get a spoon and scoop a 1/4 tsp. and place it on your toothbrush.
