Reasons To Take Organic Tooth Powder Instead Of Toothpastes

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.

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.

More work can be achieved by using powders than with toothpaste. This means they are actually more convenient to use as well. In case you traveled a long distance and forgot to take your brush along, your teeth powder can still help in improving your oral health.

Because the organic powder has no fluoride in it, it is more advisable to use them in families where children have access to mouth washes. This is a vital point to always remember because fluoride is poisonous when swallowed and can kill. Unfortunately, little children do not know this and will not mind licking the pastes if left alone.

There are other dangerous substances in pastes apart from fluoride. For instance, Triclosan, a skin irritant, could be harmful if it contacts the skin. The substance is also responsible for creating bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. Besides, triclosan is not good for the endocrine system and it also harms water life.

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.

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.
