Eggshells are extremely beneficial because they contain 27 minerals, large amounts of calcium and substance for healing cavities. Moreover, the composition of eggshells resemble human teeth. They can be used in order to re-mineralize our teeth.
According to a study conducted for ten years by Krompeher, a Hungarian physician, the eggshells are a good source of bio-available calcium.
Yet another study was conducted by a dentistry school in the Philippines, where the experts compared their own compounded toothpaste from eggshells with several commercial toothpastes. The results showed that those teeth cleaned with their toothpaste showed less plaque build-up and they also contained stronger enamel. This is because eggshells have large amounts of calcium and many trace minerals.
