Does this replace toothpaste or would i use it in addition to toothpaste??

You can use the drops alone on your toothbrush or in addition to your favorite abrasive (tooth powder or paste). You can also use the drops with a little warm water as a mouthwash any time of day. It works very well if you place a drop on your string of floss to get between teeth. And many folks put a drop on their finger to massage a tender area.

I usually put a capful of mouthwash in and it seems to do the job ok. But honestly I still brush as well. Not really sure if it replaces brushing or not.

Definitely supplementary! Doesn't replace brushing at all. Because I have braces, flossing is super time consuming... I use the water pic to get stuff out of my braces and out from between my teeth when I don't have time to floss.

You could certainly try! I have never tried it in a homemade toothpaste preparation, only used it to sweeten tea and coffee. If you do, you might want to put it through a spice grinder to make a more fine powder for mixing with your other ingredients.

It does not replace a toothbrush, it is like flossing with water. I floss and use the irrigator regulary, it has made a difference in my dental exams. I feel like like the irrigator works better than just flossing.

i never heard of any one using toothpaste, just use any cheep anti fog paste...actually saliva works just as good too

I have sensitive teeth and it is fine. I would not buy it again though. So gimmicky. I use my own sonic toothbrush and then this paste because I don't like the brush it comes with. The whitening strips are so much better.

Threw mine out a while back, it had no actual toothpaste ingredients in it whatsoever. It's more of a gag gift

I actually prefer to use it with an electric toothbrush, mainly because it's easier to make sure you get all the powder off the brush when you're done (assuming you leave the brush on for the rinse). Either way, you'll probably want to make a little paste with it by adding water, otherwise it's just a fat mess.

My 7-year-old likes to use it. She's not a fan of our "spicier" doTERRA toothpaste. I'd rather she use this than nothing at all. We don't use fluoride anyway.

I have not but that sounds like an excellent idea that I will definitely try myself, since coconut oil is known for its soothing and medicinal properties. Also, the coconut oil mixed with the powder, if kept cool, would probably provide a consistency more like traditional toothpaste.

I've never seen a toothpaste that was as fluid as liquid soap. No, I would buy a toothpaste dispenser, just to be on the safe side.

I think toothpaste would be too think to dispense properly. Maybe if you emptied the tubes into a container, mixed a little water to thin it, maybe then... but I think your mess factor would be multiplied

I use just a very small amount. Pea sized or even smaller. Use a small spoon to dip it because you don't want a wet toothbrush in it. I like to brush with just this and then add a tiny amount of conventional toothpaste. Works GREAT!

No it's not the same, it didn't eliminate any odors for me, it's used for detoxing your body or to put in your plant food or even brushing your teeth with to naturally whiten your teeth. Hope this helps.

No; Some of this brand may, but not this particular one...Love this toothpaste, so refreshing.

That's up to you - it comes with nothing like that. You can use it dry or you could buy something like you described. Myself, I use ordinary toothpaste. OBTW, that whitening cup really does work � fabulous white results you would never get with just paste and a brush.
