What is Mint Tooth Powder, and how is it different from traditional toothpaste?

Mint Tooth Powder is a powdered alternative to traditional toothpaste, made with Ayurvedic herbs and naturally occurring minerals, nothing else. Unlike commercial toothpastes, it doesn’t require binding or foaming agents, preservatives, harsh chemicals, artificial colors, or sweeteners to create a paste. It’s also fluoride-free and suitable for both kids and adults, and it is gentle on sensitive teeth. This natural Tooth Powder works thanks to its combination of time-tested ingredients that have a long history of use in supporting fresh breath, clean teeth, a healthier smile, and oral health overall. We only include what's necessary, nothing else, so you can brush with confidence.

What are the benefits of the herbs and minerals in Mint Tooth Powder?

Mint Tooth Powder brings together a thoughtfully selected blend of herbs and minerals for a fresh, clean mouth. Miswak, the formula’s main ingredient, has a long history of use as a natural oral hygiene tool. Amla and neem help cleanse and purify the mouth, while licorice brings soothing, nourishing properties to the gums. Activated charcoal, baking soda, and calcium carbonate are mild abrasives that gently clean and polish the teeth, helping support surface stains and buildup.

What is miswak, and why is it in Mint Tooth Powder?

Miswak is a tree (Salvadora persica) and is the main ingredient in Tooth Powder. Sometimes called the “toothbrush tree,” it has been used as an oral hygiene tool for hundreds of years across many cultures. Modern research has found miswak to be beneficial for oral hygiene, noting that it can be as effective as a modern toothbrush. Miswak helps bring this time-tested oral care tradition into an easy-to-use tooth powder.

Does the charcoal in Mint Tooth Powder make your teeth black?

The activated charcoal in Mint Tooth Powder can temporarily turn your mouth and teeth green and black, but only while you brush—consider it part of the experience, not the end result. The charcoal is made from dried, deseeded amla fruit and is finely milled for the formula. This charcoal is included for its ability to bind to surface stains and help lift them from the teeth. Once you rinse, your mouth is left feeling bright, fresh, and clean.

Is Mint Tooth Powder fluoride-free?

Yes. Mint Tooth Powder is free of fluoride, as well as synthetic additives, preservatives, foaming agents, binding agents, flowing agents, sweeteners, harsh chemicals (or chemicals of any kind!), and artificial flavors and colors. Tooth Powder instead uses herbs and naturally occurring minerals, including miswak, amla, neem, licorice, calcium carbonate, baking soda, and activated charcoal made from amla. If you’re looking for a fluoride-free alternative to traditional toothpaste, Mint Tooth Powder is a simple powdered format with a refreshing mint flavor.

Is Mint Tooth Powder safe for kids?

Yes. Mint Tooth Powder is designed for both kids and adults, making it an easy option for the whole family. Its refreshing mint flavor and unique green-and-black brushing experience can even make brushing more fun for kids. The formula is also vegan, cruelty free, gluten free, sulfate free, phthalate free, and paraben free. Each 0.75-ounce container provides approximately 86 uses, so a single container can become a convenient part of your everyday oral care routine.

How do I use Mint Tooth Powder?

Using Mint Tooth Powder is as simple as brushing with toothpaste. First, wet your toothbrush, then dip the brush into the powder and brush your teeth as you normally would. Because the formula contains no foaming agents, it won’t foam like conventional toothpaste. Rinse your mouth when you’re finished. For an extra-clean mouth and to round out your oral hygiene routine, Banyan recommends following your brushing routine with Daily Swish pulling oil.

What is a complete oral hygiene routine according to Ayurveda?

There are three main steps in an Ayurvedic oral hygiene routine: in the morning, first scrape your tongue with a tongue cleaner. According to Ayurveda, cleaning the tongue is an important part of daily oral care and can help reduce the bacteria in the mouth that cause bad breath. Then brush your teeth. Finish with oil pulling using an herbal oil like Daily Swish. This specially-formulated oil could be considered Ayurveda's mouth wash equivalent, with plenty of benefits. In the evening, simply brush and floss.

Love this product, I was afraid it might be too abrasive, but its perfectly soft and perfectly polishes my teeth, leaving them super smooth. Way better than toothpaste. Sometimes I start with tiny bit of toothpaste on my toothbrush and then dip in the jar of toothpowder. My friend who turned me onto this product said his dentist is blown away with his tooth / gum health (he also uses Daily Swish).

Toothpaste alternative

After trying Banyan's Tooth Powder, I decided that it needed a moist substrate. When I dipped a wet toothbrush into the powder, it got all over my front and made me cough. So I melted some coconut oil and added a tablespoon of the powder. This works much better for me.

BEST charcoal toothpowder I've ever tried

I've tried a lot of "natural" charcoal toothpowders and I have to say this is the best I've ever tried. I liked this so much I bought it for gifts for my friends. It's fun to gift something new that can end up being used everyday. I find the taste to be delicious and the effects to be exactly what I would want - freshening, cleaning, whitening. I highly recommend this product!!

Great product

This stuff works. Sure, it’s easy to make a mess. It’s not very hygienic for people to share. And the taste…I feel like I’m brushing my teeth with an ashtray. But with all that, my teeth have never felt cleaner and I find myself reaching for it every day despite all those things which means it’s REALLY good. If the taste was even close to enjoyable I would give it five stars. Fingers crossed that improves but I will be reordering anyway!

Thank you for your honest feedback, Nancy! Tooth powder can definitely feel like a big change from a traditional toothpaste. We're glad you're enjoying it and we'll pass along your feedback on the taste!

Banyan Tooth Powder

First time buying and will purchase again. Love how my gums and teeth look and feel. Going to try the other flavor next time. Cinnamon :u1F970:

My teeth, gums and tongue

My teeth, gums and tongue felt quite clean using this tooth powder; however, it is quite messy. Despite that I knocked the excess powder off my brush, there was always powder falling back into the sink, which was wasteful. Plus, once it mixed with the water from my brush, it was hard to keep it from dribbling out my mouth and onto my blouses. The taste, on the other hand, was quite pleasing. I didn't know what to expect in that department. If you want squeaky clean teeth with a bit of a mess and a pleasing taste, try this tooth powder. It's a wonderful derivation from all those chemicals in tooth paste.

Delightfully clean!

The texture is a little weird at first, but the mint flavor is nice and my teeth feel really clean.

Mint tooth powder

I have been using this tooth powder for a little over a year now along side the daily swish oil for pulling. I feel like my mouth is the cleanest it has ever been.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Amanda! We appreciate you sharing your experience with us and love to hear how much support you have found with Mint Tooth Powder and Daily Swish!

Impressed

I hadn't been to the dentist since before COVID and had to switch dentists, too. Upon my dentist hearing I hadn't been for 2 years, he said I would probably need two apts. for cleaning. I was a little disappointed but thought Oh Well it has been 2 years. I was a faithful every 6 months for cleaning before. He was surprised at the health of my teeth!!! I have been using tooth powder for several years and really like yours the best. Oh, and only needed one visit for cleaning. I mentioned to the hygienist that I use a tooth powder. She hadn't heard of it. She said well it is working for me. Usually two visits with that long of a wait between cleanings. Thanks for your products

Thank you for the review! We're glad the Tooth Powder has been a supportive addition in your oral health routine.

Mint Amalaki toothpowder

The product is great except I didn’t taste the mint enough. Amalaki is definitely dry, bitter and astringent when your brushing. I’ve been oiling pulling with sesame oil twice a week and brushing with the powder every pm. Visited my dentist yesterday and they were surprised with my teeth beeing clean with the least amount of build up compared to the customers they saw the whole day! This ancient stuff works!!! Just wish it had more mint flavor!

Thanks for your valuable feedback Jigna, we appreciate it!

I am loving my new Tooth Powder and have been using it for a month. Mouth and teeth are happy campers! Other powders included an ingredient that made my teeth more sensitive so I'm thrilled to have found this one.

Doesn't Whiten

Hi there! I have NEVER written a single review! I have used an activated coconut charcoal teeth whitening powder (for tea stains) and it worked beautifully after first use. I do appreciate the flavor and taste of this, however, after frequent use, daily/weekly, I cannot say I have noticed any whitening benefits. Will not buy again...

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience Jennie. We greatly appreciate your honest and open feedback, and will pass it along to our team. We will also be reaching out via email to make sure you are all taken care of, so keep an eye on your inbox!

Was hoping to like it

Based on the ingredient list I thought I would really like this tooth powder. After using it a few times I have to say that it just doesn't make my mouth feel fresh and clean. Great ingredients, just a letdown as far as the effect and feel.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Rose! We value your feedback and want you to absolutely love your purchases. We will be reaching out via email to arrange a solution that feels good to you!

Finally! NO Sweeteners but great taste!

I had given up finding a toothpaste or powder without sweeteners (I do not care for Stevia etc) and had been using coconut oil and baking soda with a touch of neem powder. This works great however it was difficult to get use to early in the morning - the taste, texture and spitting in the trashcan so that the oil won't clog the drain. When I saw Banyans new tooth powder offering I couldn't believe my luck! I LOVE it, it works great, will travel well and tastes nice. I use it in the morning as an alternate to the coconut oil/baking soda. Thanks Banyan!

Thank you for your review Susan, we're so glad to know you are finding the Tooth Powder to be delicious, effective, and easy to use. Enjoy!

I love the tooth powder!....it

I love the tooth powder!....it has taken away any dark spots and most of the yellowing. My teeth have never looked better....and it’s easy to use if you put the powder in the palm of your hand and dip the wet toothbrush in it.

Feels good on teeth and tastes pleasant in mouth but makes a mess in the sink

Feels good on teeth and tastes pleasant in the mouth but makes a mess in the sink. You can tell however that it's 'healtheir' than toothpaste. I no longer use fluoride toothpaste. I would use this exclusively if it didn't' leave 'mud' in the sink.

Hi Maureen, thank you for sharing your experience with the Tooth Powder. We hear you that the dark color and powdery texture can be a bit messy compared to traditional tooth pastes, but luckily it won't stain and is quite easy to clean. We appreciate your feedback!

Tooth powder

I’ve never been a fan of toothpaste. Banyan’s tooth powder is a great alternative. I’m very pleased with the performance of this tooth powder and my family likes it, too.
