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 naturally derived, mineral-rich clay has become increasingly popular in modern oral care products among consumers interested in mineral-based and naturally sourced ingredients. 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, calcium bentonite clay develops physical properties that have contributed to ongoing interest in clay-based wellness and personal care formulations.
Its historical use in oral care preparations has contributed to ongoing interest in naturally derived oral hygiene products and mineral-based ingredient formulations.
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 referenced clay in historical oral care and hygiene traditions throughout ancient wellness practices. Native tribes throughout the Americas even chewed or brushed with clay to naturally clean their teeth.
Today, Nathan and Sons continues that tradition by developing modern formulations inspired by historical practices and naturally derived ingredients.

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.

- 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.
