DIY Ayurvedic Night Tooth Powder: A Natural Approach to Oral Care
Ever wondered what’s really in your toothpaste? Those unpronounceable ingredients on the label can be a little unsettling, right?

I’ve experimented with various combinations, and after much trial and error, I finally crafted my own homemade Ayurvedic night tooth powder
It has been a game-changer for my oral health, helping with tooth sensitivity and minor dental issues
The best part? It’s completely natural, easy to make, and free from synthetic additives

Ingredients required for Tooth Powder
1. Triphala powder – 2 tablespoons
2. Neem powder – 1 tablespoon
3. Clove (Lavang) – 10 to 12
4. Turmeric powder – A pinch
5. Virgin coconut oil – As required
How to Make the Tooth Powder
Blend triphala powder, neem powder, cloves, and turmeric in a mixer until you get a fine powder
Transfer the mixture to a glass jar
Pour virgin coconut oil over the powder until it is completely covered, ensuring a slight oil layer floats on top
Let it sit overnight (or for at least 6-7 hours) without stirring
By the next day, the powders will have absorbed the oil, leaving you with a powdery consistency
Store it in a glass jar at room temperature. It remains fresh for 4-5 months.. it’s my personal experience
Make small batches, as only a pea-sized amount is needed per use—this tiny jar will last you a long time!
How to Use the Tooth Powder
Before bedtime, take a small amount of the tooth powder and gently massage it on your gums and teeth using your finger
Leave it on for about 1-2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly for a fresh, clean feel. Use it at least three times a week for the best results!
