Reasons To Take Organic Tooth Powder Instead Of Toothpastes

By Anthony Schmidt


You can take care of your teeth by employing different measures. However, while some are harmful, others are considered safer and are advocated by health practitioners. Not many people know the pros of organic tooth powder, especially when compared to toothpaste. The lucky few who are acquainted with the numerous benefits and side effects of some major toothpaste always wish they could enlighten others.

One of the reasons why tooth powders work more effectively is that they have abrasives. The abrasives are responsible for the quick cleaning power of the powders. It is for this reason that people with plaques are often advised to go for powder instead of tooth pastes. Even when a tooth brush is absent, one can use any dental powder with satisfaction. This is not the case with tooth pastes as they always require a tooth brush because of their slippery nature.

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.

While bentonite clay is present in tooth powders, the same is absent in pastes. Instead, pastes contain a substance known as glycerin. Glycerin doesn't seem to be helpful as it does not allow the teeth to enjoy certain minerals, which also affects their development. Bentonite clay, on the other hand, can supply important minerals to the teeth to make them healthier. Technically, one can say that toothpaste prevents remineralization while powders support it.

There is a substance in a paste that makes them even more harmful. This substance is the flavor that is believed to contain MSG. MSG is not written as the main ingredient in pastes, but you can suspect it anytime you see the word, "flavor." Although not many people agree with this, it is still widely accepted that the presence of MSG in substances has resulted into heart palpitations, headache, flushing, numbness, chest pain, and weakness.
