IPSAB Tooth Powder, Cinnamon

We absolutely LOVE this toothpowder. Specifically the cinnamon flavor (we ordered the peppermint once but the mint was too overpowering for us personally). Using a toothpowder instead of paste takes a little getting used to, but here are three ways we do it: 1) pour a bit of the toothpowder into the palm of your hand. With a wet toothbrush, dab the bristles into the powder... then dump any remaining from your hand into your mouth and start brushing 2) pour toothpowder directly onto wet toothbrush (doesn't work as well -- a lot falls off!)....then brush. 3) pour toothpowder onto teeth (with head tilted back), then start brushing. I actually prefer the third method, followed by the first. My toddler likes the first two options. Yes, my TODDLER likes this stuff. He actually prefers it to toothpaste. Go figure. Anyways, the ingredient list is simple, so I'm comfortable using it myself or letting it be a stand-in (well, replacement) for child toothpaste. I love how clean this stuff leaves my teeth and mouth. Even though we prefer this flavor to the peppermint, neither leaves an overwhelming aftertaste in your mouth like traditional toothpaste. Once you've rinsed well, your mouth just feels clean.

I have been using this for years and always have great checkups. It polishes and cleans. It has a salty taste, so to get used to it, mix a little with your toothpaste for a while. Recommended by clairvoyant Edgar Cayce, which I found interesting. How would someone in a trance know about prickly ash bark being good for brushing your teeth? Regardless, it is a great product. I skipped dental appointments for 2 years and the hygienist thought it had only been 6 months based on looking at my teeth! I rarely use toothpaste anymore and haven't had any cavities for years now.

This is probably one of the best tooth cleaning products on the market and I would've given it a fifth star except that the top spout is too narrow and consistently gets clogged. I'm surprised that it hasn't been changed because it's been on the market for many years and the problem has always been the same with the top.

I’ve used this product for years. I was looking for a natural, non-fluoridated alternative to tube toothpaste. A little powder in the palm of your hand and dip your wet toothbrush. Doesn’t have that overpowering scent of mint, another plus for me. My dentist is happy with the condition of my teeth.

I like this product because it removes plague and calculus on the teeth as if you went to the dentist for a dental cleaning. Also; the Ipsab comes from a tree that over in India removes cavities when they chew on it. Use it consistently to reverse tooth decay and then if desired or needed follow up with your dentist for a white composit filling or whatever necessary dental action desired.

If you're going for a completely benign tooth cleaner, as far as harmful chemicals go, this is what you're looking for. Through all the research I did on EWG, every ingredient in this product came back with a "0" rating (with "0" being the best, and "10" being the worst. So it is completely safe to use, and it's notable that there are very few products that have every ingredient rated that well. However, after my experience with it, I think I will stick with toothpaste rather than tooth powder. The luxury of a smooth, gliding motion (caused by surfactants) ceased to exist. I didn't realize how much it helped until I tried cleaning my teeth without it. I started to get bloody gums from essentially brushing with what felt like sand. I thought maybe it would take a while for my mouth to "toughen up," but after a month of painful brushing, I stopped using this product. Another thing that I didn't really like was the flavor. If I was to name the flavor, I think "Salt N' Cinnamon" would be more suiting. It mostly just tastes like salt, with a little bit of cinnamon added in. However, because of its natural flavoring, it is nice that there isn't an after-taste once you're done brushing. If you're someone who's extremely sensitive to a lot of the chemicals found in hygienic products, this option may be for you. I think that this company is going in the right direction with healthy alternatives to mainstream toothpaste. However, it's just a little too tough on my gums for me.

Best Ever. I use this product now almost 10 years, I love it. in last 10 years I haven't saw a dentist even once. I am 58 years old. I highly recommend it.

Yes, it does not stay on your toothbrush all by itself, it is a powder. However, you can put some in a small dish and after applying a small amount of toothpaste - just dip your brush in the powder. Great taste of cinnamon!
