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.

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.

Another problem with pastes is the content called glycerin. Glycerin is a problem because it prevents remineralization, meaning the teeth are deprived of certain minerals which it needs to be healthy. The problem is noticed when the teeth fail to undergo natural healing processes such as wound clotting. The minerals that help this to happen are masked by the effect of glycerin. Powders on the other hand help to nourish the teeth by supplying essential minerals to it. They contain bentonite clay which makes this possible.

If you like toothpaste because of the flavor it carries, then you should have a rethink because many of the flavors are not helpful. As a matter of fact, some flavors are only used for their industrial benefit and cannot be encouraged for private use. This is because they cause side effects such as flushing, heart palpitations, weakness, chest pain, and numbness. One of the causes of these side effects is the presence of MSG in flavors. MSG is known to cause these problems, but people fail to realize it because it can take some time for these symptoms to manifest.
