Tooth Powder with Hydroxyapatite and Probiotics
Tooth powder – the refillable alternative to toothpaste
Tooth powder is oral care in its clearest form: finely ground cleaning and care ingredients, completely without water. You sprinkle a small amount onto your dry toothbrush, brush as usual – and immediately feel how smooth clean teeth can feel. Rich in minerals, inspired by nature: our tooth powders combine hydroxyapatite, xylitol and – in the Sensitive varieties – probiotics with fine cleaning particles that clean thoroughly.
What's inside – and why
- Hydroxyapatite: the main component of your tooth enamel. Contained in our powders as micro-hydroxyapatite – deliberately without nanoparticles. It supports the natural remineralisation of tooth enamel.
- Probiotics (in the Sensitive varieties): heat-treated, without live cultures – support a healthy balance of the oral microbiota.
- Xylitol: birch sugar contributes to a balanced oral environment.
- Fine cleaning particles: clean thoroughly and contribute to smoothing the tooth surface.
All formulas are vegan, fluoride-free and without microplastics – made in Germany, with every ingredient listed on the product page.
Which variety suits you?
- Crisp Mint: clear, fresh mint – the classic for anyone who likes a noticeably fresh feel.
- Soothing Mint Sensitive: mild mint, soft flavour – for everyone with sensitive teeth.
- Orange-Mandarin Sensitive: fruity and mild with no mint at all – popular with children and anyone who doesn't like mint.

Frequently asked questions about tooth powder
What is tooth powder and how does it work?
Tooth powder is the water-free form of tooth cleaning: finely ground cleaning particles, minerals and care ingredients. When you brush, it combines with your saliva to form a mild cleaning cream that loosens deposits.
Is tooth powder good for your teeth?
High-quality tooth powder cleans thoroughly: the polishing particles loosen deposits, hydroxyapatite supports the natural remineralisation of tooth enamel, and xylitol contributes to a balanced oral environment. What matters is a finely balanced formula – that's exactly what we develop our powders for.
Does Dentafari tooth powder contain micro- or nano-hydroxyapatite?
We use micro-hydroxyapatite – particles in the micrometre range, deliberately without nanoparticles. And we are fully transparent: you'll find every ingredient listed in full on the respective product page.
How do I use tooth powder correctly?
Sprinkle a small amount onto your dry toothbrush and brush as usual for two minutes. Then rinse. Tip: if starting off feels too dry, moisten the brush slightly only after picking up the powder.
How long does a pouch of tooth powder last?
A 100 g refill lasts about four months with twice-daily brushing, a 50 g pouch about two months – depending on how often you use it. This means one pouch replaces several tubes of toothpaste.
What's the difference between tooth powder and toothpaste?
Toothpaste consists largely of water, humectants and binders. Tooth powder does without them and concentrates on the essentials: cleaning particles and care ingredients. That's why it goes a long way and can be refilled in the glass jar with less plastic.
Is the tooth powder suitable for children?
Our formulas are fluoride-free and suitable for adults and children alike – the mint-free Orange-Mandarin variety is particularly popular with children. To get the whole family started, there's the Kids' Oral Care Set and the Family Set with all three varieties.

FAQs
Tooth powder contains no liquid components such as water or glycerine. Instead it relies on finely ground ingredients such as hydroxyapatite, xylitol and gentle cleaning particles. It is concentrated, economical, does without preservatives, needs less packaging material and provides a clean, smooth tooth feel.
Hydroxyapatite is a mineral similar to natural tooth enamel and a central component of our formula. When brushing it provides a smooth tooth feel. There are scientific studies on hydroxyapatite in oral care – how you judge it is up to you.
Yes. The Soothing Mint and Orange-Mandarin varieties rely on particularly mild cleaning particles such as hydrated silica as well as a heat-treated probiotic technology, making them a gentle choice for sensitive teeth and delicate gums.
Yes, tooth powder can be used by children – ideally a mildly formulated, pleasantly flavoured variety. We recommend accompanying children while brushing; and if a little powder is swallowed, that's harmless.
Toothbrushes with soft bristles are best – they take up the powder well and distribute it gently. Bamboo toothbrushes have a handle made of bamboo instead of plastic. Electric sonic toothbrushes with soft bristles are also perfectly suitable.
Our formula combines, among other things, hydroxyapatite, the enzymes papain (from papaya) and bromelain (from pineapple), xylitol as well as gentle polishing particles such as silica and calcium carbonate. Together they provide a thoroughly cleaned, smooth tooth feel with daily brushing.
Put a small amount of powder on the toothbrush – it's best to sprinkle it on rather than dipping the wet brush into the jar, so no water gets in. Then brush as usual for about two minutes.
A 50 g refill lasts – depending on how often you carry out your oral care ritual – about 2 months, a 100 g refill about 4 months.
Dry and sealed airtight. Our refillable glass jars and the PE mono-material refills keep the tooth powder fresh and need little material.
At first it feels a little unfamiliar. But many users report a fresher, cleaner feeling in the mouth after just a few days – and wouldn't want to be without their tooth powder.
