This article explains the differences between tooth powders and the benefits of using a remineralising tooth powder with natural hydroxyapatite to remineralise teeth and reduce sensitivity.
Over the years there has been one question that I can count on to hear over and over again: “What Toothpaste/Toothpowder Should I Use?”
As more and more brands and varieties roll out into the market, the choices are becoming more plentiful and the decisions harder to make.
In this article, we’ll explain the differences between our tooth powders .
What is Tooth Powder?
Tooth powder is thought to have originated many thousands of years ago. Ancient people may have used ingredients such as myrrh, burnt eggshells, crushed animal bone ash, and oyster shells to create powders able to remove mouth odour, plus clean and polish teeth.
As people began traveling further away from their homes and discovered various herbs, they may have added ingredients such as mint leaves, cloves or peppers to their tooth powder recipes.
Unlike toothpaste, tooth powder requires the addition of water to brush your teeth so preservatives are not required.
To create toothpaste, sodium lauryl sulfate and preservatives are still typically found. Other ingredients may include thickeners, humectants, and flavourings of various kinds.
