Bicarbonate of soda and Table salt
Add 1-2 drops of pure peppermint oil. (Must be the real thing)
Stir in an amount of liquid glycerine until it forms a paste in consistency.
The ingredients are cheap and will last you a very long time. There are also the benefits of not shoving in your mouth, all those ugly chemicals that you find in commercial toothpastes and have no idea what they are or what they do to your body!”
Excellent lessons in frugality, one and all!
