Sweet Harvest Farms Organic Tooth Powder
Why tooth powder? Just read the label on any major brand toothpaste or mouthwash. You'll see they are loaded with dangerous toxins and chemicals such as sodium fluoride (which is used in rat poison), triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, and hydrated silica. Also added is glycerin which over time builds up film over your teeth much like furniture polish. This does not allow for anything beneficial or re-mineralization to occur for either your gums or enamel. All of these common ingredients have been found to be harmful to humans.
We use Bentonite clay which has ability to bind to toxins in the body. Bentonite clay is also rich in minerals that can nourish teeth and gums.
*Baking soda gently polishes teeth and naturally whitens your smile and baking soda as less abrasive than most commercial toothpastes. We also use aluminum FREE baking soda.

*Coconut Oil- Candida and Streptococcus are common residents in your mouth, These germs and their toxic waste products cause plaque accumulation and tooth decay. Coconut oil is a powerful inhibitor of a large variety of pathogenic organisms, from viruses to bacteria to protozoa, largely due to its naturally high lauric acid content, Lauric acid is considered a “healthier” saturated fat because it is a medium-chain triglyceride. Lauric acid is more easily absorbed by the body and has a host of other associated health benefits.
*Sea salt – Pure sea salt is full of tooth-nourishing minerals, and is especially helpful in healing irritated gums.
Trace Minerals - Helps maintain tooth enamel health.
Trace minerals can work in conjunction with macro minerals to help remineralize the teeth. Macro minerals are the minerals most people are more familiar with, like calcium and phosphorus

(As always do your own research. Look up each ingredient that is in your tube of toothpaste. What you find might scare you.)
