Hi Tracy, I just put some baking soda in my hand, mix a couple drops of peppermint EO and water, and brush my teeth with this. It is no where as potent as habenero, wow, your amazing!! lol. This peppermint and baking soda is the most similar to regular toothpaste as I have come across, see what you think, and thanks for sharing your info Tracy, I really love all your ideas and experiences!
