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): [...]

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 [...]

Chemistry Corner -Teeth Whitening, The Yellow Truth About Fluoride!

2020-05-12T18:55:30-04:00September 11th, 2018|

Hi folks, this is my first blog post for Frau Fowler to talk a bit about chemistry!  I know, I know, you’re thinking I’ll either bore you to death or you won’t understand what I’m saying.  Well, I promise (mostly!) to do neither. I want to take little bit of the fear out of chemistry. I know it's dorky but chemistry is really a beautiful thing!  It’s all around us and totally inside us and its what makes all the biology and the world work. But yes, there is some scary stuff too. Just because we can do a thing doesn’t mean we should do a thing.  We and the sciences have come such a long way and the future is scary bright in areas of medicine and technology just to name a couple of areas. The trick is to stay mindful, really understand unintended consequences and think about a ‘global’ good not a narrow good. OK, enough soap box.  Time for a little science.  Just a little! Let’s [...]

8.5 Best Natural Oral Care Tips (You’ve Never Heard Of)

2021-01-28T11:44:49-05:00January 29th, 2018|

#1 If you can’t pronounce it, investigate it.   The mucosal lining of the mouth is 90% effective in absorption. This is all of the soft tissue in the mouth. It’s why we have sublingual vitamins. and they work! Once it’s in the mouth, you have absorbed it. There has been public service campaigns talking about cosmetics and the amount of toxins you accumulate over years of wearing makeup everyday, but little has been said about personal care items and even less about oral care. #2 If you have sensitive teeth, you need MINERALS!  The majority of people in the US have some sort of vitamin or mineral deficiency. Sensitive teeth mean enamel is wearing and your enamel is an extension of the bone underneath. Bones need minerals. Look for products, like ours, that are highly mineral based. All of our formulas use calcium carbonate and it’s found in almost all desensitizing formulas and it’s natural and edible. Direct application of tooth powder, containing no [...]

Why do I taste SALT so intensely? Salty taste in the mouth? Here are the reasons….

2021-01-28T12:13:43-05:00August 31st, 2017|

Let's dive into the reasons WHY salt taste so different to people. SALTY taste in the mouth? Salty Taste Reason #1 -Dehydration One of the biggest factors is that MOST people are actually chronically dehydrated. Yup, it's that simple.   When your body is dehydrated, you will taste salt much more extremely than those who are fully hydrated. If it's really bad, you will have a brine taste in your mouth constantly.  A typical average person usually gets the recommendation of 2 liters per day, but if you're active or live in a climate that is pretty hot and hostile, you're going to have to drink a lot more.  It's safe to assume closer to 3 liters a day for more people, seeing that most people are over 100 lbs and climates can vary. Salty Taste Reason # 2 -Electrolyte imbalance This is a real issue as well because again, many people have it.  It's also the reason why when you are in the ER, the first [...]
