What is Bentonite Clay?
Bentonite clay is a form of volcanic ash that gets its name from the largest known deposit in Fort Benton, WY. It has some unique properties that makes it like a vacuum cleaner for your mouth’s oral hygiene.

Why Bentonite Clay?
When bentonite clay gets wet it expands and changes its electrical charge to a negative charge, becoming like a big sponge that binds to toxins and impurities. Bentonite acts as an antibacterial agent that raises the pH in the mouth to neutralize bacteria. Bentonite also has beneficial minerals that recover and enrich teeth enamel.
