Christopher's Original Formulas Herbal Tooth & Gum Powder | Natural Oral Care Powder | Plant-Based Alternative to Toothpaste

I've waited awhile to post this to give the product a fair shake. It is very different from the white minty paste I've used since childhood and it took some getting used to before fully appreciating it. Quick and dirty review: different product, takes some getting used to, but the natural ingredients and the clean mouth feeling are worth it. About me and those who I've introduced to the product: I'm in my 40s with no tooth or gum issues, but I am a fastidious about having a clean mouth feeling. I came to this product after looking for a way to help my mother who is having some mouth issues. I have also given a bottle to my brother who is beginning to have gum problems. Everyone in my family who has tried this product has reported satisfaction with how it works and feels. Both my mother and brother are saying some of their mouth issues have improved. My sister-in-law, who also has no mouth problems, has been using this and loving it. The Review: As noted in many other reviews, the taste is very "earthy" and it does leave your brush and bowl brown, but a good rinse takes care of most of it. You can also add some cinnamon to the power to improve the taste if you're super sensitive to it. Best part of the product: The clean feeling in your mouth! It's really amazing. It lacks that minty cool sense from store bought toothpastes, but what I noticed was my mouth didn't feel dirty throughout the day. You know that grimmy "I need to brush my teeth" feeling? I didn't get it with this product. Nor did I feel like I'd taken on a case of bad breath. Granted, nothing stops this feeling if you've eaten certain foods, but overall my mouth felt nicer longer. I've used the product for about six months and my last dental visit showed no new problems and I spent less time in the chair for plaque scraping. Use of the product can be messy because of the poor bottle design. I also purchased a bottle of the TheraNeem tooth powder with cinnamon and mixed the two products together. I then funneled the product into the TheraNeem bottle which allows you to sprinkle it on your toothbrush. Less mess and less waste. Big warning: Really rinse your mouth. Swish that water around and you won't see the bits of herbs left behind. I read that many people have an issue with that, but with a good rinse, you should be able to get it all out. Granted I mixed two products together, but I have been using this for 6 months and I have only used about half the product. So value for the money is great. Especially when you see what crappy Colgate is charging for all those chemicals. Advice to potential customers: Go into this knowing it's a different product with a different taste. Realize it's not the clean white paste you've used and it can cause a mess. This probably isn't a cure all for bad mouth health, but it can help soothe and maybe improve. The natural ingredients mean absorbing less preservatives and chemicals into your body and that's a good thing in any product. If you do buy, give yourself a fair trial and don't get put off by the differences in taste or application.

I honestly don't know how I lived without this herbal tooth powder before. I'll be even more honest and say my dental hygiene practices were horriffic. Since I was a young girl, I've struggled with gingivitis and foul breath due to improper diet and lack of proper hygiene. Well, over the years, this progressed to moderate periodontis. Being a weed smoker who also uses tobacco wraps, this fueled the progression of the disease, yet masked the full effect of my bad habits. I had bleeding gums for awhile that disappeared so I thought I handled it fully. Nope. One day I wake up with a toothache so bad my head was pounding from the pain. I was in bed with a fever wondering what the hell was going on. Looked in the mirror and saw my gum had abcessed and was infected. I don't have health insurance, so I was like d*mn, I've gotta handle this myself because I don't have $2000 to see a dentist. I attend the school Dr. C founded, and I was terrified to handle this myself, but I didn't have a choice. I went ahead and created a very aggressive plan because I obviously had moderate/advanced periodontitis coupled with infection. I bought floss, new toothbrushes, a water flosser, mouthwash with Echinacea and Goldenseal, oregano oil capsules, Dr. Christophers tooth powder, Dr. C's Infection Formula, Dr. C's Tissue and Bone capsules, castor oil, green tea, black walnut extract, and activated charcoal. First things first, I stuffed my affected areas with green tea bags to bring the abcess to head. Within 30 minutes of the green tea poultice, my abcess started to drain! This relieved so much pain! I started to use coconut oil with tea tree oil to do oil pulling every morning. I added the tooth powder to a mouthwash and used 6 times daily. I also made a paste out of this powder and packed it into my gums every night for 1 week as well as brushing 3x daily with the tooth powder. The clove in the formula really helps to numb irritation in the gums so I was pumped about that. I also brushed with a combo of castor and charcoal to pull toxins from the gums and mouth. Let me just say, I realized more than ever how important being aggressive and consistent is in herbalism. Within 2 weeks, my gums were more pink than they'd been since I was 9 years old. (I'm 27 now). My tooth has started to go back to its original position (tooth had shifted to due loose gums, abcess, plus being damaged in a motorcycle accident that knocked it even looser, lucky me!), my gums aren't itching, and my teeth are 3 shades whiter. I was a believer before, now I'm an herbal bible thumper. Haha. Buy this powder, I've replaced toothpaste completely with this powder and my teeth, gums, and mouth have never felt cleaner and more nourished. Plus, its helping me to clear up this gum disease. My Mom bought this after I was raving about it, and also experienced fresher breath, tighter gums, and more pinkness in the gums, rather than dark spots.

So far so good. Taste is great but too early to know on results

👎👎👎

My gums were inflamed and had that receding sensation. After first use, I felt the natural ingredients make a instant difference and helped ease my discomfort after 3rd use pain was gone. I will no longer use toothpaste now. I highly recommend this product. I have introduced this to my household (children 8 and 9 and grandpa 70yrs old) now and we all love it!

Highly recommend giving this product a go if you have receded gums. Give it a week or two to show results. I had a gap above my tooth where my gum had receded. After nearly two weeks I ran my tongue over that tooth when I woke up and there was no gap. Checked the mirror - the gum had returned. I was amazed it worked so quickly. I am extremely happy with this product and I now use this in place of regular toothpaste. Like other reviews, wet the toothbrush and dip in the powder, tap off excess. It is not rough/gritty like dirt, more like a ground nutmeg texture. Doesn’t taste and smell foul like neem. Very mild mint taste. A mouth wash will finish the job.

I am not satisfied with it
