Toothpaste has continuously been proven effective at protecting against oral issues, which include: 7,8,9,10 Natural tooth powders are an innovative, zero waste, eco friendly way of brushing teeth without the need for a plastic toothpaste tub. This is environmentally friendly because many commercial toothpaste tubes are made up of different layers of plastic and metal. This makes it very hard to recycle and, in most cases, ends up in general waste and sitting in landfill. Making the simple, eco switch to a natural tooth powder that is plastic-free will help reduce waste, plastic pollution, and encourage and support more sustainable, zero waste manufacturing processes.

Remineralizing tooth powder contains ingredients that help remineralize tooth enamel. This can make your teeth stronger and more resistant to decay. Different ingredients' combined enamel remineralization potential can help protect teeth from further damage. Whitening Tooth Powder The main concerns regarding tooth powder are its abrasiveness and effectiveness at removing dental plaque . A buildup of plaque can lead to cavities and tooth decay.Singh et al. “ Comparative Evaluation of Tooth Substance Loss and Its Correlation with the Abrasivity and Chemical Composition of Different Dentifrices .” Research Gate, Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2016. When plaque builds up on teeth, it can cause inflammation, pain, and infection in your gums. This can lead to gingivitis (early gum disease). If gingivitis goes untreated, it can turn into periodontitis (advanced gum disease).
