The coconut oil makes the baking soda moist enough that it can easily be applied to your toothbrush. Scoop a small amount out of the jar with a DRY toothbrush and brush as normal. My teeth were noticeably whiter within a week – but I’m a huge coffee fan so I had stains between my teeth. I’ve also noticed my teeth feel much cleaner. It took about a week to get used to the taste but now I hardly notice. If your teeth become sensitive, try using it only two or three times a week, and substitute with a retail brand.
The tooth powder is sold in a 4 oz plastic jar.
