Instructions:
Clean the Eggshells: Wash the eggshells thoroughly to remove any leftover egg white or membrane. You can do this by rinsing them under cold water and gently scrubbing them with a brush.
Bake the Eggshells: To sterilize the shells and make them easier to grind, place the cleaned eggshells on a baking sheet and bake them at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
Grind the Eggshells: Once the eggshells are cool, use a grinder or mortar and pestle to grind them into a fine powder. The finer the powder, the better it will blend into your oral care routine.
Store the Powder: Keep the eggshell powder in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and effectiveness.
