Old Tech Defeats New Tech (Why Tooth Powder Is Better Than Toothpaste) 

Do you have your grandmother's non-stick pan in your kitchen in a place of honor?  Are you excited to pass down one of your non-stick pans to your children and grandchildren as a family heirloom?  Of course not.  The main reason for this is that modern cookware is still inferior to the old stand-by of the cast iron skillet.  

Unlike modern non-stick pans, cast iron is extremely durable, lasting generations, and offers excellent heat retention for even cooking. It develops a natural non-stick surface when seasoned, making it versatile for various cooking methods.  It is superior in every way to the chemical coated modern pans.

Embracing old tech as a company can make for a lasting business.  For example, the company Lodge Cast Iron is the largest US manufacturer of cast iron cookware.  It employs 600 people and distributes its products to over 70 countries.  Its commitment to US manufacturing and consistent quality make it the market leader in the space.  

Old tech is not just a good business move, it can also be a healthy move for your customers as well.  Just like cast iron is better than chemically treated cookware, old fashioned tooth powder is far superior to modern toothpaste.

Tooth Powder Was There First 

Tooth Powder is an ancient dental cleaner.  Research indicates that it was used as early as 5000 B.C. by the Egyptians.  It was made from powdered ashes of ox hooves, myrrh, burnt eggshells, and pumice. This mixture was applied to the teeth, likely using fingers or rudimentary brushes. Other civilizations also developed their own versions.  The Greeks and Romans used crushed bones and oyster shells.  The Chinese incorporated ginseng, herbal mints, and salt.  

Just like I discussed above, if something has been around for a long time there is a reason that it has staying power.  Tooth powder is effective for removing stains and plaque from your teeth.  It has also been shown to combat gingivitis as well.  It is a complete dental care option that you can be confident that it can get the job done.  

But is this tried and true old-fashioned option a better option than modern toothpaste?  VanMan says yes.

Why Tooth Powder Is Better Than Toothpaste

First of all, tooth powder uses natural ingredients like baking soda, bentonite clay, eggshells, and essential oils.  All of which can be gentler on teeth and gums. This makes it suitable for people with sensitive teeth.  It is also typically free from chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or artificial sweeteners.  For those concerned about fluoride, tooth powder offers an alternative, with many formulations being fluoride-free.

It is eco-friendly and sustainable because it is usually packaged in glass jars or recyclable materials.  This reduces plastic waste from toothpaste tubes. Did you know that 1.5 billion toothpaste tubes are thrown away each year?  1.5 billion!  Tooth Powder is definitely the greener choice.

Tooth powder often lasts longer than toothpaste because less product is typically used per brushing. While a pea-sized amount of toothpaste is recommended, many people use more when brushing.  For tooth powder, users generally apply just enough to coat the toothbrush bristles.  This efficiency means tooth powder can offer more brushings per gram, potentially lasting longer for the same weight.

These are just a few reasons why tooth powder is the superior choice to toothpaste.  You don’t have to take my word for it, however.  Check out the hundreds and hundreds of reviews of VanMan’s Miracle Tooth Powder of very satisfied customers. 

Our “modern” society likes to think that it has produced the latest and greatest options for everything.  While this may be true in some cases, we have to make sure that we don’t discard the wisdom and methods of our ancestors.  Tooth Powder has been tested and refined over 1000s of years.  It is the only option you need when brushing your teeth.
