Eco-DenT ExtraBrite is a toothpowder based on a 70+ year old European formula and has been shown in a study at a major university School of Dentistry to remineralize (harden) teeth without the use of fluoride. It combines the natural and effective cleaning action of our baking soda and sea salt toothpowder with the whitening power of peroxide to provide you with an outstanding combination oral care product and tooth whitening agent all rolled into one.*
Because it relies on baking soda as its base, ExtraBrite contains minimal abrasives. This formula, therefore, helps to protect against the thinning and weakening action of most peroxide whitening treatments and commercial toothpastes. ExtraBrite itself provides the highest concentration of active peroxide whitening power in an over-the-counter form, providing both extraordinary whitening power and a measure of protection for teeth.*
• Naturally effervescent
• Less abrasive than brushing with just a wet toothbrush*
• Up to 4.3 times more baking soda and 5.9 times more peroxide than leading brands
• Hardens and remineralizes tooth enamel without potentially toxic fluoride*
• Leaves your entire mouth feeling fresh and tingly
• Up to 200 brushings per 2 oz. bottle means lower cost and less packaging waste
• Contains myrrh to support the gums*
Everyone wants to have a bright, brilliant smile. Life sometimes gets in the way, though, as teeth get discolored or stained by everything from antibiotic treatments to coffee and tea, or even fluoride treatments for hardening the teeth.*
At some point, most people look into the options for tooth whitening and find that there are a wide range of available choices. The most expensive are the tooth-whitening treatments obtained at the dentist’s office. These treatments rely on intense hydrogen peroxide bleaching of the teeth. Besides the high cost and the time required to carry them out, these treatments can actually thin the precious tooth enamel, weakening teeth over the long-term and creating sensitivity to heat, cold, sweets, etc.*
Toothpaste manufacturers have created “do it yourself” whitening through their toothpastes or through “white strips”. Virtually all of these treatments rely on peroxide bleaching, although in “consumer strength”. They won’t whiten as well, but they are also somewhat less destructive of tooth enamel in the short term. The problem of course is that they are self-regulated and tend to be used more frequently for longer periods of time, thereby potentially leading to the same type of enamel-weakening action that the more concentrated applications provided by dentists create. Additionally, almost all commercial toothpastes (whether whitening formulas or not) actually have as their primary ingredient abrasives such as calcium carbonate or silica, which, over time, can further weaken the tooth enamel.*
The alternative? ExtraBrite toothpowder. Many people are not familiar with using a toothpowder, but it really is very simple. The product comes in a 2 oz. bottle with an ‘easy-pour’ cap. Simply pour an amount approximately the size of a pea onto a moistened toothbrush and brush away! The product tastes great, has a consistent foaming-action, and actually makes your teeth feel “squeaky clean” due to the action of the baking soda base.*
ExtraBrite uses a mint flavor which leaves your breath fresh and literally makes you want to smile. It's also sugar free, so it does not have the over-bearing sweetness of most modern toothpastes.*
Eco-DenT toothpowders have been consistently praised by dentists and researchers both in Europe and the USA for over 70 years. Dr. David C Kennedy, DDS, past president of the Preventive Dental Health Assn. and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, perhaps said it best when he wrote his opinion:
“I have used and recommended Eco-Dent for many years in my dental practice and can highly recommend this product for those who want an effective non-toxic cleaner. Clinically I’ve seen patients who were able to remineralize incipient decay with Eco-Dent .” *
