Oral health is the foundation of overall wellness, yet many people overlook it while focusing on diet, exercise, or skincare. At Nathan and Sons, we believe that what you put in your mouth matters—starting with what you use to care for it. That’s why we’ve embraced the natural power of calcium bentonite clay for oral health in our oral care solutions.
This remarkable, mineral-rich clay helps detoxify, remineralize, and balance the mouth’s ecosystem—offering a safe and natural alternative to the synthetic chemicals found in most conventional products. Let’s explore why calcium bentonite clay is quickly becoming a cornerstone of holistic oral care.
What is Calcium Bentonite Clay?
Calcium bentonite clay is a naturally occurring volcanic ash compound rich in essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, silica, and potassium. When hydrated, it forms a negatively charged molecule that binds to positively charged toxins and heavy metals, drawing them out of the body.
This detoxifying ability makes it ideal for oral care, where it binds to bacteria, plaque, and food particles—helping cleanse the mouth, whiten teeth, and balance pH without disrupting the beneficial oral microbiome.
Historical Use of Calcium Bentonite Clay for Teeth
Long before modern toothpaste, ancient cultures used calcium bentonite clay to maintain clean mouths and fresh breath. Egyptians used it in dental rituals. Greeks and Romans praised it for calming inflamed gums and improving oral hygiene. Native tribes throughout the Americas even chewed or brushed with clay to naturally clean their teeth.
Today, Nathan and Sons continues that tradition—modernizing it with science-backed formulations that harness the same natural power used for centuries.
4 Ways Calcium Bentonite Clay Benefits Your Teeth & Oral Health
1. Detoxifies the Mouth and Reduces Harmful Bacteria
Calcium bentonite clay binds to toxins and harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial microbes that maintain balance in the mouth. It also acts as a gentle abrasive to remove plaque and debris from teeth.
Research shows that clay-based oral products have antimicrobial properties that may reduce bacteria responsible for cavities and bad breath.
2. Restores Optimal Oral pH Levels
An acidic mouth encourages bacterial growth and enamel erosion. Calcium bentonite clay helps alkalize the mouth, neutralizing acid and supporting the remineralization process to protect and strengthen teeth.
3. Reduces Gum Inflammation
If you struggle with tender or bleeding gums, calcium bentonite clay may help. Its anti-inflammatory effects can calm irritated gum tissue and reduce the signs of gingivitis naturally—without chemical additives or alcohol-based rinses.
4. Naturally Whitens Teeth
Many commercial whitening products strip enamel or cause sensitivity. Calcium bentonite clay offers safe, chemical-free whitening by polishing away surface stains and revealing a brighter smile.
Where Our Calcium Bentonite Clay Comes From
Our clay is ethically sourced from volcanic ash beds in regions like Fort Benton, Wyoming—the namesake of bentonite itself. It’s mined using eco-conscious methods, sun-dried to preserve minerals, then finely milled to ensure purity and quality. No harsh chemicals or artificial processes—just 100% natural clay, the way nature intended.
Calcium Bentonite Clay vs. Synthetic Gum Ingredients
Most chewing gum contains artificial bases like polyvinyl acetate and rubber-like compounds used in adhesives. These substances are not biodegradable and offer no oral health benefit.
By contrast, calcium bentonite clay is:
- Non-toxic
- Biodegradable
- Safe to ingest
- Actively improves oral hygiene
At Nathan and Sons, we use this powerful clay in our remineralizing chewing gum and other oral care products to help clean, protect, and strengthen—naturally.
Beyond the Mouth: Other Health Benefits
- Digestive Health: When used properly, it can bind to toxins and support healthy digestion.
- Skincare: Clay masks made from calcium bentonite detox the skin and treat acne.
- Minor Wound Healing: Antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, it soothes cuts and insect bites.
