Holistic Dentists- Should You See One?

2020-05-12T18:54:21-04:00October 23rd, 2019|

Holistic Dentists and "Holistic Dental Care" How you age has A LOT to do with your mouth and the health of the contents within. It's interesting that heart doctors will always talk to heart patients about plaque and the ramifications of bad oral health, yet its virtually unmentioned by healthcare professionals AT ALL.  Even heart doctors don't educate their patients about implants and root canals, and what those surgeries can do to a person's health. Every tooth in the body is connected to a meridian that governs other organs in the body.  It's a REAL THING. If you're in poor health, say you have digestive issues, find out if you have a tooth problem and be amazed at how that tooth, just so happens to be, connected to the stomach meridian! I'm not here to write about all the things wrong in the medical and dental system, but to focus on BETTER choices, so that you and your loved ones can navigate your health options. As a person, who spent [...]

Remineralize Teeth- It takes patience to remineralize teeth and GOOD saliva!

2021-05-06T14:28:26-04:00October 22nd, 2019|

Remineralize Teeth- What it means, how to do it and what does your saliva have to do with it? Remineralize Teeth Using Your Own Saliva Enamel that is worn and/or demineralized, can get A LOT of help with your saliva!  Enamel can be remineralized from the inside and outside!  Your teeth get "bathed" from the inside with interstitial fluid (the kind that comes from the lymphatic system and it has nutrients in it or LACK of nutrients if you have a bad diet).    If you're ever dealing with serious oral health issues, you may want to consider taking a high powered mineral supplement. We have actually considered formulating and offering one just for teeth (if this interests you, LET US KNOW). A great study was done with kids with cavities, found that most were deficient in strontium and boron, these are necessary minerals for bone growth. (1,2) Saliva pH is not the only issue. It contains enzymes, some are quite useful against bacteria, there are also antibacterial compounds. Mucus in [...]

Founder Story: Frau Fowler Offers A Holistic Approach To Toothpaste

2021-01-28T12:00:12-05:00September 16th, 2019|

Founder Story: Frau Fowler Offers A Holistic Approach To Toothpaste How does one get into the organic, powdered toothpaste industry, you ask?  For Perry Fields, founder and CEO of the oral care brand Frau Fowler, it all started with an unfortunate tick bite. At the time, Perry had just finished her degree in food science and packaging engineering at Clemson University. A competitive runner for much of her youth, she was an accomplished US Track and Field athlete at the peak of her career training for the 2004 Olympics. But all that came crashing down when a single tick bite developed into an illness related to Lyme disease. Forced to move back in with her parents, it left Perry completely debilitated and bed ridden for nearly five years. What Perry didn’t know at the time was that her maladies originated from the removal of her wisdom teeth years before. The extraction triggered a slow, but eventually gangrenous infection in the pockets that once housed those teeth. Keep reading [...]

Sensitive Teeth Whitening- At What Cost? The WEIGH IN on options and Sensitive Teeth Issues!

2021-01-28T11:57:15-05:00August 16th, 2019|

Sensitive Teeth Whitening Options and how those options EFFECT or CAUSE Sensitive Teeth! Believe it or not, this article may not be written biasely. Just because we make oral care products that do whiten, there are options and consequences when it comes to teeth whitening!  Because sensitive teeth is such a hugely problematic issue these days, knowing your choices could really help your teeth healthier for longer! RDA values ARE important- teeth whitening toothpastes ARE BAD NEWS for sensitive teeth What's really considered safe?  Sometimes we get people who use tooth powder for the first time and because of how different it is, assume that it's abrasive.  Abrasion does help make teeth white, but for sensitive teeth whitening, it's TRICKIER than just that. Baking soda has less than 10 for RDA (Relative Dentin Abrasion), and even though it's not easily dissolved in water, it's still a pretty health ingredient to use in oral care. This ingredient is our highest RDA values of our tooth powder composition.  (Appl Environ Microbiol. 2012 Jun; 78(11): [...]

The Packaging Talk!

2020-08-27T11:26:10-04:00March 22nd, 2019|

Packaging is a tough business. Some of the greatest earth-friendly innovations can't be used for many products.  Sonoco (one of the big players in plastics in the US) help create, at Clemson University's packaging lab, one of the first plant-based plastics (using corn). I know, because it happened after I graduated Clemson in a degree in packaging and food science (where we used the Sonoco Lab).  Later on I worked at Virginia Tech at a packaging lab, with a bunch of dudes with pocket protectors (they are actually very handy), dropping pallets on their sides (studying materials). Everything in the supply chain is always tested. While innovations are occurring everyday, we just keep our ear to the ground so we know what options are available. Many innovations are just not compatible with our product (yet). The aluminum cans we started with, from more of an expert's opinion, is just not as friendly as you think. Most aluminum comes from energy created at coal burning plants (LOTS OF DIRTY ENERGY - CO 2 emissions). Plastics [...]

PFAs in Oral B Floss?

2020-05-12T18:55:01-04:00January 11th, 2019|

Keeping your gums chemical and toxin free is easy. Just don't trust the BIG GUYS to tell you the truth. We recently had someone ask us about PFAs, since we have a new floss out called eoFLOSS. PFAs are polyfluoroalkyl substances and used in nonstock cookware. Most people have heard about the safety issues revolving nonstick cookware and how it begins to break down (or the lining breached) , making it not so safe. Two of the most popular kinds of floss are made with either NYLON or PTFE. PTFE floss is floss that is "nonstick." It's the tough stuff, the most used stuff and the most dangerous stuff. There is no way PTFE can be made to be "PFA free" because PTFE is Polytetrafluoroethylene. While people who make PTFE floss, nonstock pans, etc. may claim that it's PFA FREE or "nontoxic" it's still a chemical burden that nobody should have in their bodies. Check our the Serum concentration PFAS report here by the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology. " [...]

Kids Oral Health – Tips You Haven’t Heard

2021-01-28T11:35:13-05:00December 11th, 2018|

Kids Oral Health -Helping Kids Make Better Decisions, Early! Kids Aren't Great At Brushing and Kids Oral Health IS IMPORTANT - it's a fact. Most adults know how to brush their teeth well enough.  Helping kids properly can be tough.  My sister has 3 of them, under 6 and it's like herding stray cats. FLUORIDE - Is that the only option for kids oral health? One of the biggest issues and debates in oral care is to use fluoride or NOT.  Fluoride does help remineralize the teeth; in fact, it's the only thing the ADA accepts.  Unfortunately, fluoride is toxic (especially to small bodies) and let's face it, kids don't really rinse their mouth out when they are done brushing, and even if they did, the oral cavity absorbs EVERYTHING almost instantly (it's why medicine is pushing in the direction of oral applications)! Fluoride is also also heavily prevalent in our tap water (we get plenty of what we need if fluoride was the actual answer). Fluoride is not [...]
