In reply to Dani. Thank you so much for the update! I appreciate that. You saved us the time from trying nibs then. :)

In reply to Allison. I tried it! It definitely reduces the staining on the brush and the sink. But I feel like because the nibs are so large, they don't really do anything, but just get in the way. I did crush them up a bit more, but I didn't fully grind or pulverize them, so they were still pretty chunky. I don't think I'd use nibs again.

In reply to Dani. No, I don't think it stains my teeth. I will agree that it can stain the sink and toothbrush, though. I just rinse both really well. If you try the nibs, please leave a comment to let us know how it goes!

Do you find the cacao stains your teeth? I tried a similar recipe and it stained my toothbrush and sink. I was thinking of using cacao nibs instead of powder and reducing the amount to help avoid the staining.

In reply to Denise Jones. Of course you can leave out the bentonite clay. That's one great thing about making your own toothpaste... tailor it to what you want! I haven't read that about clay, though. Thanks for letting me know!

Can you leave out the bentonite clay? I read a couple of articles that stated that someone lost their fillings in some of their teeth. I have a couple of fillings and do not wish to lose them. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

In reply to Mervova Vladka. Sure! We usually add either peppermint or spearmint in ours. You can add as much as you like really, but I wouldn't add more than 20 drops of EO. I've tried like 5 drops of mint oil and it's not too strong. Feel free to add more!

In reply to Chelsea Duffy. Oh, wow! That's great. Please let me know how they like it. You can switch out the essential oils to help them enjoy the flavors better. Like you could leave out peppermint but add more Wild Orange or something like that.

I am making this for my kids today! I have tried making them different toothpastes, but so far they haven’t liked them. I am positive they will like this one. 🙂

Can you put mint in it? It’s just I like the freshness of mint in my mouth I am not sure chocolate can replace that. I guess it’s only a matter of habit but mint (spearmint) would be great to add.
