Go Ahead And Smile! Vegan Tangerine and Peppermint Tooth Powder/Polish
This product is not filled with a bunch of bleached ingredients.
After much research and lots of brushing, this formula was born! It is PACKED with stuff to give you a good, healthy, clean smile. Your teeth have never felt so clean AND they never have been! We use all natural goodies to actually clean and polish your teeth. Most over the counter pastes are FILLED with chemicals and harsh abrasives that actually destroy the enamel, and a lot of the ingredients have been linked to cancer and all sorts of other diseases. Tooth care should be at the top of your "green list." Your gums are one the most absorbent places on your body which makes it easy for chemicals to pass directly into your bloodstream.
Here's what's in it and what each one does:
Baking Soda: Buffers saliva for increased pH control. It has a mild abrasive effect, then it buffers the acids that are produced by the bacteria that cause plaque formation. This buffering effect has been shown to last for hours after brushing the teeth. Baking Soda will also help to whiten teeth.
Xylitol: This is a natural sweetener, oh but it is also so much more! Studies have shown that Xylitol actually strengthens tooth enamel, wards off yeast and bacteria, and eases canker sores. Clinical testing has proved that xylitol reduces the incidence of cavities and plaque formation and kill the germs that cause bad breath. It promotes the re-mineralization of tooth enamel. Bacteria try to use xylitol, but they cannot so their growth is inhibited. By inhibiting the growth of plaque bacteria, xylitol helps to give you a cavity-free smile. The positive effects of xylitol appear to be long lasting and may even be permanent. It is a natural replacement for fluoride.
Orange Peel Powder: natural teeth whitener
Bamboo: provides natural silica for whitening and stain removal
Spearmint Leaves: taste and breath freshening qualities
Alum: prevents yeast from growing, naturally fights bacteria and is wonderful for canker sores and other mouth ailments. It is also a tooth whitener and polish
Neem Leaf: antifungal, antibacterial, prevents and heals gum disease, prevents cavities, eliminates bacteria that cause cavities and inflammation of the gums, prevents bacteria from adhering to your teeth (reduce plaque, enhance mouth immunity in general, and through all this freshens breath)
Tangerine Essential Oil and Peppermint Essential Oil: flavor
Sapindus(soapnuts): lather and clean

clean teeth
Great product. My teeth have never felt so good

Really Great Product for Dental Health
I really enjoy the feel it leaves after brushing. I prefer this product over all other commercial products. It works really well, particularly for gums. I wish there was a version with minerals, then I'd be in tooth fairy heaven. Love this product.

Natural oral care with a twist!
I've used baking soda/salt toothpowder for a few years now....never liked store bought toothpaste or mouthwash(too many chemicals). If you have ever used bs/salt powder...you know it's a boring routine...just do it. Love the TANF "go ahead and smile" tooth polish! What a wonderful change for me. It cleans well and not too abrasive, which I like. The kick of tangerine just gives refreshing twist to the daily routine. Love this product and will continue to purchase for my oral care needs.

getting used to
Since I miss the strong mint taste from my tooth paste. I put a small amount of the powder on top of my toothpaste and it's awesome. I follow up with ANF Gum Therapy Oil which is AMAZING

Interesting!
This is the first tooth powder I've ever tried! I like it, it leaves my teeth feeling clean. It doesn't feel abrasive. I sort of miss the minty taste but I am getting used to it!

Interesting and cleans well
The product is as it describes. A powder for the teeth. The taste is fairly mild, and it cleaned well. It will take some time to adjust to using this since it does not foam or lather as you would expect from a tooth paste or soap. It's a good product and my teeth feel cleaner without the lingering sweet taste of toothpaste that I dislike.

Clean mouth
My mouth and teeth feel very clean after brushing. I have to get used to the fact that there's no foaming.
-
Amazing product
I've never tried a tooth polish/powder before and this is very new to me. If you're a first timer then the taste does need a little time to adjust to whether you like these taste or not. But I think this product does a wonderful job, it leaves me teeth looking glossy and shiny and I love that it does that. I would need to use this product longer to see what other benefits it might give.

Awesome!
Just like with the gum therapy oil, I was skeptical about this product at first. It makes my mouth very happy, though. I was afraid it would turn my teeth orange, but it actually brightens them.
