What exactly is a tooth powder?
A fine mineral powder that joins your brushing routine as a deep-cleansing second step. Powder-type oral care is an established routine in Korea; Dentart™ is built on a mineral-processing technology in use since 1999. You still use your regular toothpaste — the powder goes on top of it.
Does it replace my toothpaste?
No — and it isn't meant to. Dentart™ is used alongside toothpaste: apply your paste as usual, sprinkle the powder generously over it, and brush. Your routine stays the same; it just reaches further.
Will the powder scratch my enamel?
Dentart™ contains no harsh abrasives. The calcined bentonite is milled ultra-fine — the point of the powder is to slip into narrow spaces and polish gently, not to scour.
My teeth felt a little sensitive at first. Is that normal?
A brief adjustment period with mild initial sensitivity can be normal when starting a powder routine. It typically settles as your mouth adjusts. If irritation occurs or persists, discontinue use and consult your dentist.
Why brush for at least three minutes?
The powder needs time to disperse and work its way into the narrow gaps and tight spaces between teeth and along the gumline. Three minutes gives the fine particles time to reach the places a quick brush misses.
What does it taste like?
Clean mint from L-menthol, with a light natural sweetness from stevia and xylitol. No artificial sweeteners or artificial fragrance.
Can children use Dentart™?
Keep the product away from children under 6. Children old enough to use it should use a pea-sized amount under adult supervision, and everyone should rinse thoroughly after brushing.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
The manufacturer's brochure states the product is suitable for use during pregnancy. As with any change to your routine while pregnant, we'd encourage checking with your doctor or dentist.
Where is Dentart™ made?
In the Republic of Korea, by Bison Pharma — a facility registered with the US FDA under MoCRA (registration does not indicate FDA approval or endorsement). US orders ship from a warehouse in the United States.
How should I store it, and how long does it keep?
Keep the cap closed and the powder dry. Shelf life is 36 months from the date of manufacture, printed on the packaging.
