Science is everywhere! Want to try some chemistry in your kitchen? You can make your own toothpaste! It's easy, fun, and sugar-free.
Here's How:
- Mix three tablespoons baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) with one tablespoon salt (sodium chloride).
- Add three teaspoons of glycerin for every 1/4 cup of dry mixture. You can buy glycerin at craft stores.
- Add enough water to make a thick paste. If you want, add a few drops of peppermint oil so it tastes better.
- Use your homemade toothpaste like you would any other toothpaste. Store unused toothpaste at room temperature in a covered container.
