Common conclusions

It is unlikely that you would benefit from using a dental powder instead of your regular toothpaste. Dental powder is usually an abrasive formula that contains minerals and herbs in a dry form. Consult your dental hygienist for the further oral care products selection.

While it is unlikely that you would benefit from using a dental powder instead of your regular toothpaste, you are still displaying some signs of feeling uncomfortable with your oral care products. Having high plaque formation may require more thorough teeth brushing technique and special oral care products. Dental powders are usually more abrasive due to high concentration of minerals and their dry formula. Try using a more abrasive toothpaste or change your toothbrush to a harder one. Consult your dental hygienist for the proper oral care products selection.

Based on your answers, you are very likely to benefit from using dental powder. However, it should not be used on a daily basis. You can alternate between powder and paste to get the desired effect. Dental powder is a mixture of a variety of mineral ingredients in their dry form. Remember to use a soft toothbrush for your teeth while using a dental powder and specially designed hard one for dentures. Such oral care products have less foaming formula, so it is more comfortable for individuals who feels uneasy having a lot of foam inside the mouth cavity.
