POWER MINT Tooth Powder- Botanically Clean, Teeth-Whitening, Remineralizing, Fluoride Free, Gluten Free, SLS Free -Restores Enamel and Freshens Breath, 2 oz

If you have ever used baking soda to brush your teeth, the salt taste is just about comparable with that. I wouldn't exactly say the mint is powerful or even all that refreshing but it's definitely there. It just falls a little flat.What surprised me the most is the amount of saliva I generated while using this product and I used very little! It was kind of hard to get the powder to stick to a dry toothbrush. It's probably a good thing because what little I did use put the salivary glands in overdrive.Now here's the real deal. I wasn't sure how I would feel about swishing around what was already in my mouth. It didn't bother me until I actually did it and I'm not gonna lie, it made me gag. No way can I bring myself to gargle with my own spit.I also wasn't completely sold on not rinsing but I tried it. I was surprised that I wasn't left feeling like I needed to rinse out my mouth.For what small amount it took to effectively use this powder, it will last a very long time.

I've had this product for a month and a half and I decided I really needed to review it because I really like it.I'll start with my brushing method. I use an electric toothbrush with a soft bristle head. Usually I lightly rinse my toothbrush before I dip it into my container of tooth powder. I haven't really experienced clumping ( if you look at the picture I attached, this was my container of tooth powder today) so if you're used to doing that you still can! Just don't soak it. Then I put the toothbrush in my mouth and turn on the electric toothbrush because I would rather not have tooth powder all over my bathroom. But I brush, swish, and spit.Next, the flavour. I went with the Power Mint because I love mint a a flavour. Upon getting it out of the box it was sent in, I was hit with the small of mint. To me, that's a good thing. First time using it I was really surprised because I had been used to the sweet, foamy toothpaste I had been using up until that point. This tastes salty. Not "I just ate a handful of salt" salty, but more like "I just ate a potato chip" salty, so in my opinion it's really not bad. Plus, when I'm brushing my teeth I now just pull my tongue away from where I'm brushing to keep most of the powder on my teeth initially so I don't get the majority of the saltiness until I swish it around in my mouth. After I spit it out I have a very refreshing minty flavor in my mouth. They're still a bit of saltiness, but that goes away pretty quickly.I brush my teeth at least three times a day, and I can tell you my mouth has never felt more clean. I actually just purchased two more containers so that I can have one at home, one with me at work, and one in my car. Granted, I had really sensitive teeth so I try to brush as often as I can after I eat or drink anything. But after using this product at least three times a day I've noticed that my sensitivity has gone down a lot! So if you have sensitive teeth I highly recommend this! Just make sure you keep up with brushing multiple times a day.So just to sum it all up: it works, it's salty but not sickeningly so, and it's helped a lot with my tooth sensitivity. Hopefully this helps!

I ordered this product based on someone's review since I had never seen it before. And based on different reviews, I was expecting a strong, possibly overwhelming mint flavor. What hit me instead was an overwhelming sodium flavor. In fact, I had to mix it with another product in order to minimize the saltiness so that I could use it. As for the product's claim, yes it does feel like it cleans well and I do quite like the idea of the powder vs paste with toxic fluoride. Does it whiten? Well, that would be subjective as it would depend on the condition of one's teeth. If I do order it again, I will have to make sure I have an unflavored one to mix it with. I poured it into a small jar and the idea of dipping my toothbrush in it does not bother me nor concern me one bit. The product will kill any bacteria the toothbrush might leave behind, if for nothing else due to the bicarbonate and salt.

I am so pleased with the quality and effectiveness of this product, I've purchased it for others and recommended it to family and friends. In earlier reviews I noticed some others had difficulty with opening the metal can. I scoffed at that, as I never had any trouble opening the can... that is, until recently. I had watched a video on the Frau Fowler site stating one could also close the can by pressing down on the lid and snapping it shut. That worked, but the can never opened again. No matter what I did, I could not open the can again. It was new, and I had just gotten it. Very frustrating. I finally bought another can of tooth powder. In looking at the cans, I noticed they were dented when they arrived. As the can only came in a thin bubble bag, this was not a surprise. I am wondering if the severe denting had something to do with the ability to open and close the can. Not sure, but I think the packaging needs to be reviewed. I know you are very proud of the packaging (as stated in y our video); and a great deal of thought went into it, but the packaging design needs to be revisited. If this is something some customers complain about, it may turn them (and others) away from the product. One would also lose many "word of mouth" referrals. This time I purchased another container to transfer the tooth powder into. I do not want another episode where I am unable to open the can. I have uploaded a photo of the cans and my "new" container for it. Not sure if you can see the dents. But really, the product is wonderful. Beware of the packaging.

The flavor was fine, the cost is a bit high for the quantity. Unfortunately, I ended up being sensitive to the product. Not sure if it is the baking soda or the strong mint. Either way, I developed sores on my gums after a few uses and I had to stop using it. I will try again but a different brand. It's too bad, I really wanted to like this.

I've waited to review this so I could have some time to see if it was working as effectively as my previous natural toothpaste. I actually like it BETTER than toothpaste, as I find it makes my teeth feel cleaner, and I know there is less preservatives and chemicals in this. The taste is a bit salty, but otherwise exactly what I expected for the mint flavour. I will definitely be purchasing this product again.As for the complaints of the container, I can see how some people are saying it gets difficult to close but I haven't had any issues, and if it does get to that point, I will just move the product into a different seal-able container that is easier to open.
