Moringa Tooth Powder

This moringa tooth powder is a wonderful tooth powder to incorporate into your oral care routine. Moringa is a plant that is native to Northern India. Years ago, I researched the moringa health benefits as a supplement for general health and wellness. The moringa seeds, roots, leaves, and flowers can be used to remedy various health conditions. Interestingly, many of the general moringa health benefits also provide a list of moringa benefits for teeth.

To stay focused on the benefits of using this moringa tooth powder and the moringa benefits for teeth, I will share links to the general moringa health benefits in the last paragraph. There will also be a couple of edible or drinkable moringa food recipe links that you can use to make additional things with your bag of organic moringa leaf powder.

To go straight to the moringa tooth powder recipe, just scroll to the end of the page to view the list of ingredients needed. For now, I will briefly introduce you to each ingredient used in the moringa tooth powder and briefly explain why it is beneficial to the health of your teeth and gums. But first, details will be provided about the moringa benefits for teeth.

Moringa Benefits for Teeth

The moringa benefits for teeth are quite impressive. Moringa powder is a potent antimicrobial and is used as an antiseptic. Therefore, moringa can effectively destroy odor causing bacteria in the mouth as well as bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease.

The moringa powder also contains a high amount of vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to improving and maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Some of the most noteworthy vitamins and minerals moringa benefits for teeth and gums are vitamin C, potassium, vitamin A, and calcium.

• Vitamin C – This vitamin is needed to keep your connective tissues healthy and strong. It works along with protein and collagen to carry this role out. One of the easiest (and perhaps most fun) ways to promote or improve teeth and gum health is to make and eat vitamin C infused sugar free low carb homemade gummy bears. Once you learn the health benefits of gummy bears, you quickly realize that they are not just for kids.
• Potassium – “Potassium is a companion to magnesium in its role to regulate blood acidity levels. When blood becomes too acidic, the acids can leach calcium from your teeth and jawbone thereby making them weak. Therefore, a diet rich in potassium can help your teeth and bones maintain appropriate calcium levels.^[1]“
• Vitamin A – Vitamin A plays a key role in the health of your tooth enamel and gum health. It helps to maintain the integrity of both.
• Calcium – Calcium also plays a key role in strengthening your tooth enamel. A strong tooth enamel prevent the teeth from erosion and cavity development.

Bentonite Clay

Bentonite clay is an antibacterial agent. It works well because it attaches to toxins in the mouth. It also helps to get rid of stains on your teeth in a similar way that charcoal works. However, according to one dentist, bentonite clay is less abrasive than charcoal.

Calcium Carbonate

The teeth need calcium to stay healthy and strong. Therefore, this powder is added to the moringa tooth powder to help clean the teeth. It too is mildly abrasive powder that helps to brush away stains on the teeth and help remove plaque build up.

Magnesium Powder

Magnesium serves numerous roles in the body. It works along with calcium to maintain and repair our bones and teeth. Therefore, dietary enhancements or an ingested supplement may be beneficial as well.

Sodium Bicarbonate

This is an alkaline powder that can reduce the acidity of your mouth. Bacteria, cavities, and gum disease develop in an acidic environment. So, this teeth cleaning powder is a pH balancing aid.

Peppermint Essential Oil

The peppermint essential oil is an optional addition. However, it adds a refreshing and cool minty fresh taste to this earthy tasting moringa tooth powder recipe. The cooling sensation is also a numbing agent. So, it can act like a mild pain reliever. In addition, peppermint essential oil can destroy bad bacteria in the mouth that can ultimately lead to tooth decay and gum disease.

Monk Fruit In The Raw

This is a powdered sugar substitute that can be used to sweeten the moringa tooth powder. It is sweet with an otherwise neutral taste. Many oral care products contain xylitol. So, if you are familiar with xylitol, you can certainly use that to sweeten your moringa tooth powder.

Cinnamon is an extremely good antibacterial agent. Many years ago, cinnamon was used as a food preservative. Some all natural skin and body care companies still use cinnamon as a natural preservative to prevent bacteria growth. Therefore, this humble little spice is very beneficial for killing bacteria in the mouth that can lead to bad breath and tooth decay.

Ginger Powder

According to a group of dentist, ginger contains compounds that can reduce bad breath germs that lead to cavities and gum disease. This same group reports that ginger contains two compounds (raffinose and gingerol) that can also help to reduce inflammation and pain^[1]. Therefore, ginger is another excellent oral care remedy to use in this DIY toothpowder.

Nutmeg Powder

Nutmeg is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Therefore, it can improve the health of your teeth due to the improved blood circulation in the teeth and gums. And, as a result, it can help to alleviate toothaches and pains. According to research^[2], “Nutmeg powder has strong antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.”

Ground Cloves

Some dentists use eugenol, a chemical contained in cloves, to kill germs on your teeth and your gums^[3]. Some chewing gums are made with cloves.

Monk Fruit

This is the sugar substitute of choice that I used to sweeten this pumpkin spice tooth powder. It is mostly just sweet with no additional flavor. Many oral care companies use a delicious tasting xylitol powder. However, xylitol is toxic to animals. So, if you use xylitol, do not let your pets accidentally discover the tooth powder.

The recipe is located at the bottom of the page. So, you are welcomed to jump straight to the recipe and ingredients. However, I will next discuss the ingredients and the benefits they provide for your teeth and gums.

Bentonite Clay Powder

This clay is known to help recover the enamel of your teeth while removing plaque and reducing odor⁽¹⁾. It works similar way that charcoal works. Bentonite clay removes bacteria and toxins from your teeth, mouth, and gums. Then, with it being mildly abrasive, it is also beneficial for removing stains from your teeth.

Sodium Bicarbonate Powder

When the mouth is acidic, the oral environment is conducive for cavity formation. When the mouth is alkaline, cavity formation stops. This is an alkaline powder that can bring the pH of your mouth back towards an alkaline state.

Calcium Carbonate Powder

The teeth need calcium in order for them to stay strong. So, this neutral tasting powder acts as an abrasive that can help remove stains from the teeth. Therefore, it is a good addition to this peppermint rosemary herbal tooth powder. With the calcium carbonate, the tooth powder will become much more salty in taste.

Rosemary Leaf Powder

Rosemary is a potent antibacterial that can destroy germs in the mouth that lead to plaque build-up, cavities, and bad breath germs. It has a very characteristic earthy aroma that some love.

Peppermint Leaf Powder

Peppermint leaf powder is ideal for this herbal tooth powder recipe because it is a powder. However, a peppermint essential oil gives it a really sweet and beneficial minty taste as well. You can use peppermint leaf powder from a larger bag of peppermint leaves or you can use the leaves from peppermint tea bags that you may have.

Peppermint Essential Oil

The peppermint essential oil adds a refreshingly cool minty fresh taste to this herbal tooth powder recipe. However, this essential oil will also kill bacteria in the mouth that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. The cooling sensation that this peppermint essential oil creates is actually a numbing agent. So, if you are working on improving any troubled teeth naturally, the peppermint can help in the short term for pain and in the long term for cavity prevention.

Moringa Powder

There are good reasons for adding moringa powder to your herbal tooth powder. Generally speaking, moringa health benefits for the body are very impressive! Interestingly, this unique powder is also loaded with properties that are good for the health of your teeth and gums. Besides being an antimicrobial, moringa also contains high levels of calcium and magnesium. Together, calcium and magnesium are responsible for maintaining and strengthening your teeth and bones. Then too, it contains chlorophyll – a substance that deodorizes and fights bacteria.

Monk Fruit In The Raw

Many people use xylitol powder as the sugar substitute to sweeten oral care products. So, it will likely be a familiar taste to you. Just keep it away from your pets!

Activated Charcoal Tooth Powder

This activated charcoal tooth powder is super easy to make with just a handful of ingredients. One of the things activated charcoal is probably most popularly known for is its ability to whiten teeth. However, like other whitening toothpaste, it is slightly more abrasive than a regular tooth paste to help you get the stains removed from your teeth. So, while it may be a very effective teeth whitening powder, use it as needed as you would with a traditional whitening tooth powder or paste.

In addition to whitening the teeth, activated charcoal is highly porous. Therefore, it can also soak up toxins and odors like a sponge. Therefore, activated charcoal tooth powder also acts like an antibacterial and antifungal which makes it an excellent oral care product.

Rosemary Powder

Rosemary is an antibacterial. So, while the activated charcoal tooth powder binds to toxins and odors, the rosemary powder can actually help destroy the germs and bacteria in the mouth.

Monk Fruit

Monk fruit is a sugar substitute that can be used to sweeten your activated charcoal tooth powder. However, it is optional. Many dental products use xylitol as a sugar substitute to sweeten oral care products. However, if ingested, xylitol is toxic to dogs.
