Product description Vegan Fluoride Free Tooth Powders for Your Family Handcrafted in small batches this tooth powder is the perfect addition to your dental routine! Woman Owned. Premium Quality Ingredients Certified Organic Birch Xylitol %45 of formula Fights Cavity-Causing Bacteria Xylitol disrupts the metabolism of Streptococcus mutans, the main bacteria responsible for cavities. These microbes can’t ferment xylitol, so they starve and die off. Reduces Plaque Formation It prevents plaque from sticking to teeth and gums, making brushing and flossing more effective. Promotes Remineralization Xylitol helps neutralize mouth acidity and boosts saliva production, which aids in remineralizing enamel. Supports Gum Health Its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help reduce gingivitis and support overall gum health. Vegan Calcium Carbonate Calcium carbonate provides bioavailable calcium ions, which are essential for rebuilding enamel. Enamel is primarily composed of hydroxyapatite—a crystalline structure made of calcium, phosphate, and hydroxyl groups. Neutralizing Acids It buffers and neutralizes acids produced by oral bacteria and acidic foods. This creates a more favorable pH environment for remineralization to occur. Rebuilding Hydroxyapatite When the oral pH returns to neutral, calcium ions from calcium carbonate can combine with phosphate in saliva to reform hydroxyapatite crystals, restoring enamel integrity. Protective Barrier Regular exposure to calcium carbonate can help maintain a protective layer on the teeth, making them more resistant to decay and erosion. Food Grade Bentonite Clay Detoxification & Toxin Removal Bentonite clay becomes negatively charged when hydrated, allowing it to attract and bind positively charged toxins, bacteria, and heavy metals in the mouth. Remineralization of Tooth Enamel Rich in calcium, magnesium, and silica, bentonite clay helps replenish lost minerals in enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay and erosion. Gum Health & Anti-inflammatory Properties Bentonite clay soothes irritated gums and reduces inflammation, making it beneficial for gingivitis and early periodontal issues. Certified Organic Peppermint Oil Freshens Breath: Its strong, pleasant aroma helps combat bad breath. Antimicrobial Properties: Peppermint oil can reduce plaque and fight bacteria that cause cavities and gum disease. Soothes Gum Inflammation: The cooling effect of menthol in peppermint oil can reduce gum irritation and inflammation, making it helpful for those with sensitive gums or conditions like gingivitis. Natural Pain Relief: It can provide a soothing sensation, which can be beneficial for toothaches and other oral discomforts. Note* Certified organic by the Oregon Tilth 10/21/2021 Ingredients Continued Himalayan Salt Cleanses the Mouth: Salt can help to neutralize acids in the mouth and remove food particles and debris, leading to fresher breath. Natural Antiseptic: Salt can kill bacteria and reduce inflammation, helping to prevent infections and promote healing in the mouth. Magnesium Strengthens Tooth Enamel: Magnesium helps in the formation and maintenance of strong tooth enamel by aiding in the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. Supports Gum Health: It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce gum inflammation and support the body's natural defense mechanisms against harmful bacteria. Prevents Tooth Decay: Adequate magnesium levels can make teeth more resilient against decay by strengthening enamel. Promotes Saliva Production: Saliva is essential for washing away food particles and neutralizing acids in the mouth, and magnesium helps in saliva production. Reduces Tooth Sensitivity: By maintaining strong enamel, magnesium can help reduce tooth sensitivity. The Result Is a super fine, velvety smooth powder.
