Are you looking for an all-natural tooth powder or toothpaste? Well, look no further! The tooth powders and pastes are the BEST products to help keep your pearly whites not only looking clean, but also feeling fresh! 

Tooth Powders


You might be asking, “Why The Dirt?” Well, let us tell you why we are the BEST: 


Chemicals belong in a lab, not in your mouth. Our products clean, polish and brighten your teeth as opposed to many other toothpastes. Toothpowder is an all-natural alternative to toothpaste due to our products being made with ingredients so safe you could eat them! This tooth powder works for all teeth: adults and children, normal natural teeth, crowns, bridges and veneers, sensitive teeth as well as manual or electric toothbrushes! 


A delightful blend of clay, herbs and essential oils that clean your teeth without harsh chemicals or artificial flavoring, the tooth powders will fight cell damage and remove hard plaque and tartar! The bentonite clay gently dislodges stuck on stains and polishes for a brighter smile! 


On the Mohs scale, the hardness of tooth enamel is a solid 5 as the silica found in modern toothpastes are harder than your tooth enamel ranking at a 7. Our bentonite clay base is as gentle as it gets, rating just 1-2 on the Mohs scale. 


The tooth powders from The Dirt come in a variety of sizes: 6 month jar, 3 month tub as well as a 6-week travel size jar!
