Tooth Powder with Hydroxyapatite and Probiotics
Tooth powder – the refillable alternative to toothpaste
Tooth powder is tooth care in its purest form: finely ground cleaning and care substances, without water and without preservatives. You sprinkle a small amount onto your dry toothbrush, brush as usual – and instantly feel how smooth clean teeth can feel. Rich in minerals, inspired by nature: Our tooth powders combine hydroxylapatite, probiotics and xylitol with gentle polishing agents that clean thoroughly.
What's in it – and why
- Hydroxylapatite: the main component of your tooth enamel. In our powders as micro-hydroxylapatite – deliberately without nanoparticles. It supports the natural remineralisation of your tooth enamel.
- Probiotics: support the natural balance of your oral flora – for a balanced mouth feel.
- Xylitol: birch sugar contributes to a balanced oral environment.
- Gentle polishing agents: gently remove plaque and surface discolouration – for your teeth's natural brightness.
All formulations are vegan, fluoride-free, without artificial colours and without microplastics – made in Germany, every ingredient visible on the product page.
Which variety suits you?
- Crisp Mint: clear, fresh mint – the classic for those who like it noticeably fresh.
- Soothing Mint Sensitive: mild mint, extra gentle formulation – ideal if your teeth are sensitive.
- Orange-Mandarin Sensitive: fruity-mild without any mint – popular with children and everyone 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 polishing particles, minerals and care substances. When brushing, it combines with your saliva to form a mild cleaning paste that gently removes plaque – without preservatives and without binders.
Is tooth powder good for your teeth?
High-quality tooth powder cleans thoroughly and gently at the same time: The polishing agents remove plaque, hydroxylapatite supports the natural remineralisation of your tooth enamel, xylitol contributes to a balanced oral environment. What matters is a finely balanced formulation – that's exactly what we develop our powders for.
Does Dentafari tooth powder contain micro- or nano-hydroxylapatite?
We use micro-hydroxylapatite – particles in the micrometre range, deliberately without nanoparticles. This is how we ensure complete transparency: You'll find every ingredient 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 the start feels too dry for you, lightly dampen the brush after picking up the powder.
How long does a sachet of tooth powder last?
A 100-g refill lasts about four months with twice-daily brushing, a 50-g sachet about two months – depending on frequency of use. This means one sachet 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 these and concentrates on the essentials: polishing particles and care substances. That's why it works without preservatives, is more economical and can be refilled in a glass jar with minimal plastic.
Is the tooth powder suitable for children?
Our formulations are fluoride-free and suitable for both adults and children – the mint-free Orange-Mandarin variety is especially popular with children. For the family start, there's the children's 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, is more sustainably packaged 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 are particularly sustainable. 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 mono-plastic refills keep the tooth powder fresh and are sustainable.
