Why Organic Tooth Powder Is Better Than Tooth Paste

By Anthony Schmidt


There are different ways to which people think they can keep their teeth healthy. While some prefer organic tooth powder, others say that using pastes is better. In any case, what really matters the most is what works better for the user. However, there are many reports suggesting that tooth powders may have gained more acceptance than the pastes.

Powders are made more of abrasives and this could be the reason why they are more effective for taking care of plaques. Most tooth pastes on the other hand lack this special feature, which makes it look like a child's play sometimes when scrubbing it on teeth, even with a tooth brush. You may notice this by seeing how slippery pastes are when used alone. It is more convenient to use the powders without a tooth brush than doing the same with a tooth paste.

In addition, powders come at affordable prices. They are often packaged in small containers, making them more affordable. The organic ones have mint as one of their ingredients, and mint is a good agent for fighting bacteria.

The abrasive nature of the powders makes them easier to use and therefore provides more convenience. No need to scrub several times when using the powder, but the reverse is the case with the use of toothpaste. Powders can do more than what toothpastes are known for.

Lack of fluoride in powders makes them less toxic and safer for the children. Fluoride is poisonous when swallowed and can even cause death. Unfortunately, most children don't know this and they are more at risk because of the appealing taste of toothpaste. Mouthwash powders don't taste as sweet as toothpaste so there will be no temptation for your child to prefer licking it instead of using it strictly for teeth cleaning.

If fluoride were the only harmful dangerous element in pastes, then life would have been a little easier. Unfortunately, there are other substances that make the substance still unfit for regular use. One of them is the substance known as triclosan. Triclosan is bad for the endocrine system and water life will suffer when anyone who just used it pours saliva into water bodies.

Tubes of toothpaste also have glycerin that prevents remineralization. This means that it prevents important minerals from forming on the teeth. This is bad because assuming there is a wound on the gum, the teeth will hardly heal since it has something that will prevent natural healing process. On the other hand, powders contain bentonite clay. This substance binds to toxins making them easier to remove. While glycerin prevents the teeth from enjoying some important minerals, bentonite clay supports remineralization.

Do not let the sweet flavor of toothpaste lure you to preferring it to the powders. Many toothpaste flavors are actually MSG which is bad for the health especially when used much. Some of the problems associated with flavors containing MSG include headache, flushing, sweating, facial pressure or tightness, numbness, chest pain, weakness, nausea and heart palpitations. Unfortunately, not many people agree that MSG could be responsible for all these and that is because the reaction occurs slowly and may take a while before they can be noticed.
