Ingredient breakdown:

Bentonite clay gently cleans teeth, aids with remineralization, and has detoxifying properties that removes stains, freshens breath, and helps prevent gum disease.

Baking soda is a mild abrasive that scrubs teeth clean, gets rid of any surface stains, and helps freshen breath.

Salt is also an abrasive as well as an antiseptic that kills bacteria.

Cloves and cinnamon not only flavor the tooth powder, but also have astringent properties that support gum health.

Stevia is an herb that in this case, is only used to flavor the tooth powder.

Charcoal balances the mouth's pH, helps remineralize teeth, and also helps whiten teeth.
