Herbal Toothpowder Tabs are vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, and free of fluoride, SLS and sugar. They do not contain soy, corn, nuts or sesame.
All of the ingredients are Certified Organic, except for the 3 minerals and Curcuma Xanthorrhiza Root which is found as a wild-crafted plant. Only agricultural products which are grown can be certified organic by the USDA - natural organic minerals and wild-crafted plants are not certifiable. But take a look at the ingredients and you'll get the picture. Our Herbal Toothpowder Tabs are probably the ‘cleanest’, most-pesticide free, easiest-to-use product available for clean teeth, a brighter smile and a fresh, more balanced oral microbiome.
DrTung’s Herbal Toothpowder Tabs are easy to use. Take one perfectly portioned tab from the bottle, and put it in your mouth. Simply bite to crush well, then brush normally with a wet toothbrush. (Feel free to add a little more water if needed). It feels so good you may find yourself brushing happily for longer than normal...
The Spearmint Herbal Toothpowder Tabs have a refreshing herbal mint taste and the Mint-Free Herbal Toothpowder Tabs are fresh and earthy with just a hint of clove. We are used to sweet-tasting toothpastes, but in Ayurveda and Oriental medicine, balancing the mouth and oral microbiome requires some bitter-tasting ingredients. This is why neem and miswak have been used for centuries as natural anti-microbials with powerful oral health support. It may take a few days to get used to the taste but we guarantee that you will love the effect on your mouth.
Is the packaging Earth friendly?
Yes! The Herbal Toothpowder Tabs are packaged in infinitely recyclable glass bottles, sealed with a pesticide-free bamboo cap with recycled aluminum insert. According to the World Health Organization, 6 toothpaste tubes per person are discarded annually. That's billions of tubes per year going into the landfill. Switch to our tabs in glass bottles, for a more convenient oral care experience while not harming the planet.
What is the "Morning-After Test"?
How does your mouth normally feel when you wake up - a bit dry and in need of an urgent brushing or rinse? Brush with DrTung’s Herbal Toothpowder Tabs in the evening before bed, and then check how your mouth feels the next morning. Expect a fresher, cleaner, happier, more kissable feeling.
Can I use them on my pets?
As pet parents know, not everything that is healthy for us is good for our furry friends. Herbal Toothpowder Tabs should be kept away from your pets because Xylitol, one of the ingredients beneficial to human oral health, can cause rapid hypoglycemia in pets. Much like grapes, which are nutritious for humans but should not be given to dogs, Xylitol is perfectly healthy and beneficial for us, but because it is processed differently in the bodies of other animals it should never be given to dogs and cats.
BOTTOM LINE: Keep out of reach of pets, as Xylitol is poisonous to dogs.
Are the herbal tabs safe for diabetics and those who avoid alcohol?
Yes, Herbal Toothpowder Tabs are safe for diabetics. They are sugar free but are naturally sweetened with organic Xylitol, which has many beneficial properties for oral health. Xylitol occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables and can be processed from trees like birch or from a plant fiber (xylan). Though it looks and tastes like sugar, it has 40% fewer calories. Xylitol has a low glycemic index, contains zero fructose, and has negligible effects on blood sugar because its assimilation and metabolism are independent of insulin. Therefore, none of the harmful effects of sugar apply to Xylitol. It is categorized as a 'sugar alcohol' but it’s not the same type of alcohol that causes inebriation. Sugar alcohols are safe for people who wish to avoid alcohol.
IMPORTANT: Keep out of reach of pets, as Xylitol is poisonous to dogs.
Why are your toothpowder tabs not white?
Toothpastes are generally white due to the processed ingredients such as hydrated silica, SLS, etc. Powdered flowers, leaves, fruits etc. are not white, but when mixed together have a brownish color. Most herbal toothpastes have such ingredients and are not bright white. Our herbal toothpowder tabs are rich in botanicals that are proven to be effective for many aspects of oral health. So choose a modern toothpaste alternative full of ingredients grown by nature and selected based on both modern and ancient herbal knowledge.
