The Dirt Super Mint Toothpowder

I LOVE THIS! I read the reviews before purchase and instead of dipping my brush into the little pot I get some on a ceramic spoon so only a little gets clumpy at once. PERFECT! It really does taste as lovely as people say. I don't feel like the cinnamon is overpowering at all and saltiness is negligible (something I worried about with baking soda). You only need a tiny bit and my teeth have never felt so clean (beyond that first 20 minutes after leaving the dentist's office.) I was surprised, after my research, how many unnecessary chemicals are in my organic pastes that I've been using for years. I've love the flavor and how clean my teeth are! I love that my teeth squeak while I'm brushing (they're that clean)! I love the absence of chemicals. I also love that at my seasoned age, I get a giggle when I spit and it looks like dirt. Clever name! Great product!My only feedback to The Dirt folks is that it's pricey for such a risk. I regret not buying the larger one but I didn't want to regret buying a large one and hating it. I can't be the only one and a "sample size"/one time use thing that I could have gotten for not too expensive, in a little packet that wouldn't cost you more than a postage stamp to mail would probably help those who agonize over whether to try this, and opted not to. Also, many of us who use your product have some sort of environmental consciousness and I ordered two and to have each container in its own bubble envelope, and both of those placed in another, larger bubble envelope seems really, unnecessarily wasteful. That was a poor first impression. Luckily your wonderful product made up for it.

Holy Moly this stuff is goooooooood!! Never ever again will I subject my poor mouth or teeth to the soapy grot that is passed off as conventional toothpaste. 5 days into using this and my tooth sensitivity has decreased, I wake up in the morning with semi decent breath instead of the toxic vapor from pre-dirt days. My teeth FEEL so clean and smooth - my gums also look less inflamed. Initially purchased because I was told SLS (Sodium Laurel Sulphate) the foaming additive in ALL conventional and most "herbal" toothpastes was what caused my mouth ulcers to take forever to heal - I had one when I started using The Dirt - IT IS GONE AFTER 3 DAYS. There is no adjustment period for using it, my first brush I thought would freak me out putting literal dirt into my mouth but the sweet orange and cardamum oils sweeten up as you brush and there is almost no gritty texture, this in turn made saliva increase and no need to spit rinse spit rinse... just brush brush brush and then rinse brush with clean water. The best part of all of this...? It doesn't make food taste weird after brushing your teeth... for me that means I can brush before breakfast and know my fruit salad and my cup of tea will taste like they should instead of offensive after conventional toothpaste. I could rage on some more I'm so impressed with this product but I wont.... if like me you've had issues with regular tooth pastes, or mouth ulcer issues, or even just OVER the in-your-face-advertising because every tube is better-that-the-others. Buy it, Try it, LOVE IT!

I've been trying various alternatives to regular fluoride toothpaste and this has been the best so far. The big, unexpected benefit I got from using The Dirt is that the sensitivity to temperature in my back teeth (due to receding gums) has diminished 80%-90%. Woohoo! This benefit alone is, for me, worth continued use. For years, I haven't been able to drink cold drinks, enjoy frozen foods, or even rinse my mouth with cold water because it hurt too much. After about 2 weeks use, I've had very little problems with temperature sensitivity. (Note: If you have receding gums and are sensitive to extreme temperatures, don't use anything with tea tree oil. That will make it so much worse!)After brushing with The Dirt, I like to rub my tongue over my teeth because they feel so clean and polished. Another positive aspect of The Dirt is the taste/flavor. I love cinnamon, but I was hesitant to try it because I don't care for orange flavor. However, I don't taste orange in it at all.I don't give the product 5 stars because I don't see any improvement in the whitening of my teeth. I find it hard to believe it could whiten my teeth when I see how it stains my toothbrush. But at least I don't see my teeth getting more yellow either. (BTW, I have been able to thoroughly clean the brown stains off of my toothbrush by using either diluted bleach or soaking in denture cleaning tablets and then rinsing thoroughly.) One last negative aspect is the price. It's quite expensive compared to a tube of toothpaste.
