<human>:  How can I make my own toothpaste?
<bot>: To make your own toothpaste, you will need a base such as baking soda, a thickener like xanthan gum, and a few drops of flavor such as essential oils. You can also add antibacterial and whitening agents for extra benefits. Mix all of the ingredients together until a paste is formed, then store it in a sealed container.
