Is THE DIRT Tooth Powder safe for sensitive teeth?Updated 9 months ago

Yes, THE DIRT Tooth Powder is safe and even beneficial for sensitive teeth. Here's why it's a great choice for those with tooth sensitivity:

🦷 Gentle Formula: The main ingredient, bentonite clay, is extremely gentle on tooth enamel, rating only 1-2 on the Mohs hardness scale (compared to tooth enamel at 5 and silica in regular toothpaste at 7).

😌 No Harsh Chemicals: It's free from fluoride, SLS, triclosan, and other harsh chemicals that can irritate sensitive teeth and gums.

🌿 Natural Ingredients: The all-natural formula is made with ingredients so safe you could eat them, making it ideal for those with sensitivities.

🍃 Remineralizing Properties: The trace minerals in the powder can help strengthen teeth over time, potentially reducing sensitivity.

🌡️ Temperature-Neutral: Unlike some toothpastes that can trigger sensitivity due to extreme temperatures, THE DIRT Tooth Powder is temperature-neutral.

😁 Recommended Flavor: For those with particularly sensitive teeth, the Super Mint flavor is often recommended as the best option.

🔬 Dentist-Approved: The formula has been approved by dentists, ensuring its safety and effectiveness for all types of teeth, including sensitive ones.

💆‍♀️ Gentle Cleaning Action: The powder cleans effectively without the need for harsh abrasives that can wear down enamel and increase sensitivity.

If you're concerned about using THE DIRT Tooth Powder with sensitive teeth, you can start by trying a small amount and gradually increasing usage. As always, if you experience any irritation, discontinue use and consult with your dentist. Many users with sensitive teeth have reported positive experiences with THE DIRT Tooth Powder, finding it to be a gentle yet effective alternative to traditional toothpaste.
