Benefits Of Using Organic Tooth Powder Over Toothpaste

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.

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.

Moreover, powders are generally cheaper. They come most often in small cups making it an affordable option for students. Some of the organic forms contain mint, which also serves as an antibacterial agent.

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.

Baking powders are not sweet so children will not be tempted to lick it the way the do with toothpaste. The problem with licking toothpaste is that the fluoride content in it makes it poisonous. If fluoride is swallowed in large quantities, death may result, and this is certainly not what anyone wants. To avoid this, especially in homes with lots of kids, use organic tooth mouth wash.

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.

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.
