All : All the substances you named can cause allergies and adverse reactions in certain individuals. They are not designed to be used as toothpaste. Why reinvent the wheel? There are so many toothpaste to choose from. Look for an american dental association approved toothpaste and you will not go wrong. Established companies such as crest, and colgate spend enormous amount of time and money on research. They have a lot to lose is their toothpaste does not do the job. It is far more important to worry about proper brushing technique.

I : I would like to answer your question with another! why do you do this? There are toothpastes with these ingredients that work very well already available on the shelves of your supermarket. They have been developed by a team of experts who really understand what tooth brushing and oral hygiene is about, and they have a huge interest in getting it right, which they do! the truth is that tooth paste is a cosmetic, and that it is not necessary to disturb the plaque on your teeth and gums and allow the saliva to neutralize the bacterial acid which left would damage your teeth and their supporting tissues. But, toothpaste does help a lot. I have put a couple of health guide links for you below that you might find interesting. There is a possibility that contiunual exposure of the tissues of your mouth to strong aromatic oils in high concentration may predispose you to irritation or even pre-cancerous changes. I suggest that you have your dentist carefully evaluate your mouth on a regular basis when you go in for check ups.

Perfectly safe: These products are safe to use. Look into oil pulling.
