FAQ

Does it have an expiration date?

The tooth powder is good for at least 2 years if its kept dry, but the cloves and peppermint oil might begin to fade or lose efficacy over time.  The toothpaste has coconut oil with no preservatives and should be used within 12 months of delivery. 

Should I use Bretts Earth Products daily?

Yes!   This product is intended for daily use.

Does Brett’s Earth Products Toothpaste and Tooth Powder replace my current tooth paste?

Yes, it is intended to replace your current tooth paste.  You should consult your dentist, especially if you have any current conditions such as (tooth decay, gum disease, etc)

How long does one jar of toothpaste or tooth powder last?

The 1.4 oz jar should last about 60 days using it twice a day.  A 3 oz container should last 4 – 6 months.

Will my teeth become visibly whiter?

In most cases, yes!  But the answer depends on a number of factors including how white your teeth are when you begin using the product. 

Can I dip my wet tooth brush directly into the tooth powder?

Yes, but if moisture gets in the tooth powder it may become clumpy over time.  Each order comes with a wooden spoon which can be used to apply the powder directly to the toothbrush.

Will mold form in the toothpaste or tooth powder?

We won't say its impossible, but we will say it is highly unlikely.  The clays, baking soda and calcium carbonate have a pH well above pH 8–9 which creates a hostile environment for mold.  Cloves and peppermint also add another antimicrobial kick. That is why a dry version of this formula can sit for years if no water gets in. 

What are other benefits of this product?

·       Helps Maintain Good Breath - ingredients support a healthy oral microbiome and a healthier oral microbiome—especially on the tongue—is one of the main things that keeps bad breath in check.

·   Tongue Health - A balanced oral microbiome supports tongue health, mainly by limiting overgrowth of bacteria and debris on the papillae that cover the tongue’s surface.

·     Throat Health – Very possibly.  The mouth and throat share a continuous microbial highway.  A balanced oral community helps keep the oropharynx (back of the throat and tonsils) more stable.
