Anyone use toothpowder?

[DCRIII]

I make my own tooth powder. I'm not a dentist or dictotor, but it does the job to my liking. Here's the recipe.
-5 parts calcium carbonate
-5 parts Xylitol powder
-2 parts sodium bicarbonate (baking soda)
-peppermint essential oil to your liking for flavor only
Mix it all together and store in an airtight container.
I use 1/4 teaspoon every time I brush my teeth.

Was going to say; nobody's mentioned baking soda.

I use this, supposed to only use once or twice a week but i've used it everyday for 12 years with no problems. You can get it off Amazon or eBay.

Let me know how you like it.

I'm still in the market for something else.

Used to use the Colgate Tooth Powder when I was a kid. It was the only tooth powder I ever remember seeing. I really don't think I've seen any probably since the late seventies.

Alright so I received the Eucryl toothpowder sooner than expected and used it on Friday.

Interestingly the instructions state: Use 1-2 times per week in addition to your regular toothpaste. Maybe it's just me but I found that a little confusing, do I brush with the paste then use the powder or use the powder instead of the paste twice a week? Anywho I ended up brushing with just the powder on Friday and wow. A nice clean feeling all around. I compare it to the feeling you have on your teeth after a cleaning from the dentist. Will see over time if it indeed removes stains and whitens teeth. If so, I'll be a regular user of this.

Nice. I may try that. Report back on the stains and teeth whitening.

Eco Dent is a good brand. Their cinnamon toothpowder tastes good as well.

I have used this also with nice results. I used Pepsodent tooth powder as a kid and loved it, wish you could get it still.

Wow. Haven't seen or heard about this in decades! When I was much younger i backpacker a decent amount and carried it because it was lighter than a tube of toothpaste.

I have a can of Pepsodent American tooth. It is about 40 years old. Still full. I wish they still made it. The powder is much more cost effective.

Eco dent is awesome but too expensive now.

Anyone use toothpowder? What do you use?

I used ECO-DENT for years but decided to go a simpler (and much less expensive) route about ten years ago.

MY HOME MADE TOOTHPOWDER:
2 parts Baking Soda
1 part Fine Pink Himalayan Mountain Salt

It's excellent stuff and as far away from the dreaded rat poison as you can get.

Used eco-dent for a couple decades and now blend my own after trying another commercial one with similar ingredients as to what I now mix. Stevia leaf, coconut charcoal, baking soda, clove oil, cinnamon leaf oil, and other items we keep around, let’s see.....some slippery elm, yarrow, mullein, also, if I remember correctly.

So, is toothpowder as good as or better than toothpaste? @malocchio had a thread started about Russian Toothpowder. Did a search, and this thread popped up. Using Pasta Del Capitano right now.

That's a tough question, however if you want to go as natural as possible and don't want SLS and toxic flouride , then go with a powder. On a side note, almost all commercial toothpastes contain formaldehyde , but the cosmetic companies " take care " of the FDA , so they do not have to list it. Most countries demand it to be listed...Is Your Toothpaste Full Of Carcinogens?
