Living Libations Living Libations Truth Tooth Powder Polish 30ml
£19.50
Quick Overview Exfoliating and brightening: Miracle Salt™, Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, Arrowroot and MSM. On a dry brush, add a pinch of powder with a tiny drop of Neem Enamelizer and if desired a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum, or Healthy Gum Drops. Tip: Really great on a dry round-head electrical tooth brush Baking Soda, Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, or bicarbonate of soda, is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and found dissolved in numerous mineral springs. Among other metabolic functions, bicarbonate in saliva buffers and neutralizes plaque acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity. Baking soda has been used as a tooth paste for centuries and is often combined with sea salt. Recommended by Dr. Hulda Clark, dentist Robert Nara, and Edgar Cayce as an effective tooth polish. Dr. Paul H. Keyes D.D.S., clinical investigator at the National Institute of Dental Research, advised regular brushing with salt and/or baking soda, as it prevents all destructive periodontal (gum) disease. Dr. Keyes states “Over the years when I was lecturing, I asked thousands of dentists and hygienists to raise their hands if they had ever seen destructive periodontal disease in person[s] who had regularly brushed with salt and/or [baking] soda. I have never seen a hand! And although I have not seen many such cases, the periodontal health in these patients has always been excellent”. Use : Place a pinch on a dry toothbrush along with a tiny drop of Neem Enamelizer. You can also add a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops for an extra burst of fresh, plant power. For an even more invigorating impact, use Tooth Truth Powder with a dry round-head electrical toothbrush. Safe to use every day. Organic Ingredients: Sodium chloride (Sea Salt), Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, Maranta arundinacea (Arrowroot), and MSM. Sea Salt (Sodium chloride) - Purified sea salt is rich in trace minerals. Sea salt is historically known to soothe gums and alkalinize saliva for a happy oral environment. Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) - Teeth thrive when they are bathed in a sea of sweet saliva, and baking soda buffers and neutralizes food acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity. Magnesium Bicarbonate - This naturally occurring compound has been historically used to prevent deposits on the teeth. It is also said to help eliminate plaque while brushing, and it whitens the teeth. Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) -  Arrowroot is traditionally used to alkalinize saliva as a natural tooth polish. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) –   MSM is a biologically-active organic compound that is a source of sulfur. This naturally occurring sulfur is found in nature and all living organisms. It is a critical nutrient for the human body. Review(s) pearly whites This is the best tooth polish I've ever used. I use this along with all the Living Libations dentistry products, which are phenomenal. I feel like I have the cleanest whitest teeth in the world. Based on the compliments I've gotten from my dentist, it might be true :)

Add a drop to toothbrush, mouth rinse, massage into gums, or glide a drop over dental floss to cleanse the tiny spaces in between the teeth. Created for Children under 9 yearsMilder version of our effective Healthy Gum Drops formulaTested and Approved by Leif (at 2 years!) Nadine wrote this blog for Mothering.com on the Subject of Oral Care and Children: Sometimes, helping children to brush their teeth, or getting children to brush their own teeth, is like herding cats and, when children do brush their teeth, even when they are teenagers, do they do a thorough job? Is their brushing effective? In ancient times, children very rarely had cavities. Today, however, one of the biggest health concerns affecting little ones more than any other in North America and Europe is dental decay, ECC (Early Childhood Caries). Is it because dentists are giving out lollipops? (http://mothering.com/health/does-coke-money-corrupt-kids-dentistry) Did the ancients have advanced civilizations that cracked the code on toothpaste? Or, is it because breastfeeding fades in and out of popularity while processed formula proliferates? When your child closes her mouth against the toothbrush, while you cheerfully chant “If you get up in the morning… and you want to find something to do, you brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch” by Raffi, know, (that your dentist may not say so), but brushing isn’t everything. Dr. Weston Price (President of the America Dental Association from 1888-89) studied primitive skulls and traveled the world studying the teeth of cultures that ate only their traditional foods; cultures in which a cavity would be found in one in a thousand people. Cultures that had moved away from their nutrient-dense food and were plagued by white flour and white sugar had rotted teeth. Decay of tooth enamel is not only from food stuck in it. Dental decay occurs in two ways: internal and external. External factors are food in the mouth, acidity, bacteria, how the teeth fit together, and exercise. External factors play a role, but they are not the initiating factors in oral decay. Teeth are alive! They can regenerate, and this is why internal factors that nourish the teeth are so important. Real foods, hormonal balance, minerals, and the fluid exchange through the teeth are key. When the teeth are healthy, they are like trees, drawing their nourishment from the roots and the blood and digestive system are the soil. Nourishing fluid moves from the pulp chamber through to the dentin. Stress, processed food, and inadequate nutrition reverse this precious flow and the tooth starts to draw bacteria and acids from the mouth into the tooth. Teeth start forming inside the womb, and pre-natal nutrition with a healthy dose of fat soluble vitamins, minerals, and whole foods starts the process of building strong teeth. Around 2-3 years of age, the permanent teeth are forming/calcifying into the jawbone and, if there is a nutritional deficiency of minerals and vitamin C, D3, K2 and A at this time, teeth are formed that are less resistant to decay. This also means that breastfeeding mothers need to be abundant in whole nutrition as well. As teeth start to come in, wipe the teeth with a cloth dipped in salt water. This will help clear plaque and neutralize acids. Teach children to swish with salt water and spit it out, which will do most of the work. Later, brushing can begin using salt, baking soda or xylitol powder (from a health store). If a carie lesion begins, this does not necessarily mean a permanent cavity is inevitable. Know that the teeth are alive and brown enamel lesions could be reversed. When there is a carie lesion the salvia starts on the area to balance the decay, and the dentin inside your tooth will shot forth odontoblasts which regenerate new cells to the area. If this happens keep the tooth clean and look into the diet. Healthy Teeth Tips· Avoid bonding molars on the cavities (this traps bacteria in the tooth)· Offer zero processed food· In the beginning, stick to breastmilk and water· Floss when the teeth start getting close together· Avoid Fluoride water and treatments · Phosphorus and vitamin C help ease teething· Breastfeeding is not the cause of cavities· Soak all grains and beans overnight before cooking to get rid of phytic acid· Avoid all commercial toothpastes (toxic) – stick to the basics: salt, baking soda, and xylitol Review(s)   Yay to Brushing Time I just want to share a quick story... I have 2 1/2 year old twins. We struggle with them a bit regarding them allowing us to brush their teeth. Yesterday, they were sitting on my lap watching a video on YouTube of Nadine regarding healthy teeth. In the video, Nadine is wearing a pink dress. Since then my kids say at different times throughout the day, "Where did the pink lady go?" And my son will say, "I want to hug her!" When I want to brush their teeth now, I refer to the "pink lady" and they say "yay!" So to Nadine I say,"Thank you!" Not only do I love the products and feel so good about using them, my kids are more open to thee to brushing! My 6 year old loves this! My 6 year old Finn is really loving the Wild Child Healthy Gum Drops! He says he doesn't like toothpaste anymore! my child really doesn't like brushing her teeth.... but after trying this product for the first time tonite, she said she would brush her teeth whenever. So, I hope it is true. I am really hoping that this will help her teeth as the enamal has really come off of her teeth. She is only 4 and we eat super healthy-- but i think its the grains that must get to her teeth. Either way, I am really hoping that this is the answer that I need to help fix her teeth Thank-you My son started using the kids Gum drops. he had a "watch" on one of his teeth from a previous dentist visit and I couldn't believe that the dentist could not hardly find it at his last visit a few days ago and said everything looked great! Thank you Nadine! We will continue trying to heal our teeth with your products. Great Find I put a drop of the Wild Child drops on her toothbrush and brushed her teeth. She said that she "Liked it so much she wanted to have invisaligns so she could put a drop in and wear it all day." She went and showed her Dad her beautiful teeth. :) she is always trying to get out of brushing her teeth.. so this is a great find. (She's five.) :) My 5 year old LOVES this!

Living Libations Holistic Dental Care Book (Nadine Artemis founder of Living Libations)
£12.00
A comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care, Holistic Dental Care introduces simple, at-home dental procedures that anyone can do. Highlighted with fifty-three full-color photos and illustrations, this book offers dental self-care strategies and practices that get to the core of the problems in our mouths--preventing issues from taking root and gently restoring dental health. Based on a "whole body approach" to oral care, Holistic Dental Care addresses the limits of the traditional approach that treats only the symptoms and not the source of body imbalances. Taking readers on a tour of the ecology of the mouth, dental health expert and author Nadine Artemis describes the physiology of the teeth and the sources of bacteria and decay. Revealing the truth about the artificial chemicals in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, Artemis also discusses the harmful effects of mercury fillings and the much safer ceramic filling options that are available. Covering topics that include healthy nutrition, oral care for children, and the benefits of botanical substances and plant extracts for maintaining oral health, Artemis introduces a comprehensive eight-step self-dentistry protocol that offers an effective way to prevent decay, illness, acidic saliva, plaque build-up, gum bleeding, inflammation, and more.

Our frankincense essential oil comes from Somaliland where the highest quality of gums whose origins lie in the most ancient groves rooted in antiquity: the Dhallo valley, heart of frankincense country. Our unique distiller specializes in the hydrodistillation of the fresh oleo-gum resins of Frankincense. This is very rare to have frankincense distilled with material from the fresh harvest – this creates a rich frankincense with a wide range of incredible top notes and heart notes. Frankincense has been used to support oral health for thousands of years in Middle Eastern areas. It is common for Arabian people to place the resin in their mouths daily and chew it to strengthen teeth and gums. Frankincense is chewed to strengthen teeth and gums and to refresh the mouth. Known for its antimicrobial properties, it is also used to assist with infection of the teeth and gums. Compounds of frankincense have been found to exhibit in vitro antibacterial, antifungal, and immunomodualtory properties. Myrrh is an oleo gum resin obtained from species of Commiphora myrrha trees. Myrrh is one of the oldest botanical medicines in the world. It has been mentioned in Egyptian medical texts including the Ebers Papyrus, which documents over eight hundred medicinal formulas. The Egyptians used large amounts of myrrh, rituals, medicines, cosmetics and embalming. In Chinese medicine, the use of myrrh was recorded as early as 600 CE during the Tang Dynasty for medicinal formulas. For thousands of years myrrh has been praised as one of the most effective substances for sore gums by herbalists and by practitioners of TCM. Ancient Greece valued myrrh for its astringent and antiseptic properties to treat wounds. In addition to its antiseptic, antimicrobial and astringent properties, it has used by people wishing to stimulate circulation in the gum tissue. Myrrh’s oral history includes it being used for swollen, spongy gums, canker sores, and sore throats. Peppermint, Mentha piperita, helps with digestion and has an analgesic and cooling anti-inflammatory effect. Ingesting peppermint oil reduces levels of oxidized fats in body tissue and reverses declines in glutathione that were caused by radiation exposure. Our peppermint is a genuine distillation of the fresh leaves and comes from a fourth generation family of distillers in France. It is important to understand that the peppermint flavouring in commercial toothpaste is artificial menthol and offers no benefit in preventing gingivitis. Real peppermint is a potent anti-oxidant and inhibits the bacterium that causes tooth decay. Tea Tree Oil, Malaleuca alternifolia, from the paper bark tea tree, has been used for thousands of years as a medicinal plant by the Australian Aborigines. Tea tree oil has anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties, and is “A therapeutic agent in chronic gingivitis and periodontitis, conditions that have both bacterial and inflammatory components.” Tea tree is very high in natural anti-inflammatory agents and contains the plant-chemicals cineol and propanol, both kinds of natural chemicals that can decrease gingivitis and reduce plaque. Tea tree also helps stop the approach of bacteria and is very astringent and antiseptic. In a scientific dental study, a genuine distillation of tea tree oil (2.5%) proved effective in the treatment of chronic of gingivitis and inflammation. High in natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial constituents of 1.8 –cineol, terpinen-4-ol, tea tree essential oil decreased the level of gingival teeth and reduced plaque scores in the study. Furthermore, the study showed that a total of 162 oral bacteria isolates (including streptococcus) were inhibited and rapidly destroyed by tea tree oil concentrations of less than 2%. The study concluded, “The components of Tea Tree Oil are known to have lipophilic properties which facilitate its diffusion through the epithelium. If Tea Tree Oil is readily absorbed after topical application into the gingival tissues and has anti-inflammatory properties once it has entered the connective tissues, it would be a unique non-toxic agent.” The Healthy Gum Drops formula contains more than 2% of this astringent and antiseptic essence. Thyme Linalool, Thymus officinalis linalool, is a rare variety of the thyme species. It is both antiseptic and gentle. Thyme Linalool balances oral salivary secretions, stimulates the immune system, and acts as a decongestant. Overall, it is a tonifying and effective immuno-stimulant with anti-bacterial agents. Essential oils in their unique nature are all antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral to varying degrees. In the book Beyond Antibiotics, Michael Schmidt devotes an entire chapter to the antimicrobial efficacy of essential oils, and states, “One of the advantages essential oils have over antibiotics is that bacteria do not develop resistance to essential oils. Many essential oils exert their antibacterial effect by interfering with the bacteria’s ability to breathe. On the other hand, antibiotics interfere with the life cycle, or metabolism of, bacteria, but since bacteria are very crafty creatures, they change their chemistry and genes, which makes the antibiotic less effective the next time it is used. As a result, new generations of antibiotics will need to be developed to stay ahead of these organisms. Additionally says Schmidt, “another advantage to essential oils is that some actually stimulate immune function.” Successful Self-Dentistry in 8 Steps with the Frankincense Fresh Toothpaste Take a few moments to do these steps morning and night and wake up ready to kiss the day! Welcome to the Successful Self-Dentistry steps with our new Ozone products. We are happy to offer more options to create the healthiest mouth ever! Each of these products is unique and offers innovative care when used altogether. If you are starting out with just one product, then the potent and versatile Neem Karoli Baba Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops are still the classic choice. Our new Ozonated oral care products are a great addition to your protocol and are integrated in the steps below. Ozone is especially beneficial for lifting your oral ecology to a new balance and to add variety to your daily care. The Ozonated Healthy Gum Gel can be applied to the gums and left on as your last step in this effective ritual. Step One: The Salt RinseMake a salt water solution to keep in your bathroom (16oz of spring water to 1oz of salt in a mason jar). Add a drop of Neem Karoli Baba Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops. Start with a salt water rinse before brushing. Use a little shot glass, pour in a bit of brine, swish and spit. Step Two: Scraping the TongueHolding ends of tongue scraper, gently scrape the tongue from back to front 2-3 times. Rinse the scraper off each time. Step Three: Brushing the GumsUse a dry (ionic) toothbrush; add one drop of Neem Karoli Baba Tooth Serum, or Healthy Gum Drops, or Ozonated Healthy Gum Gel to one tiny drop of Neem Enamelizer on the brush. Brush gum down towards teeth for two minutes. Use special care over the gum line. Step Four: Polishing the TeethPolish with a dry round-headed electric toothbrush. Use a tiny, half of a pea sized amount of Frankincense Fresh Tooth-Truth Polish or baking soda also works for this polishing step. Step Five: Checking the Gum LinesCheck gum lines for any remaining plaque; use a rubber tip gum tool with a drop of either Neem Karoli Baba Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops or Ozonated Healthy Gum Gel. Step Six: FlossingFloss two times!Apply a drop of Neem Karoli Baba Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops along the floss. Step Seven: Final RinseUse salt rinse again – vigorous swish and spit. Step Eight: Extra CareFor receding gums, bleeding gums or any area that needs extra attention, apply Neem Karoli Baba Tooth Serum, or Healthy Gum Drops. Ozonated Gum Gel is great to use throughout the day and it is also beneficial to apply and leave on your gums as your final step after the mouth is clean. Baking Soda, Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, or bicarbonate of soda, is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and found dissolved in numerous mineral springs. Among other metabolic functions, bicarbonate in saliva buffers and neutralizes plaque acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity. Baking soda has been used as a tooth paste for centuries and is often combined with sea salt. Recommended by Dr. Hulda Clark, dentist Robert Nara, and Edgar Cayce as an effective tooth polish. Dr. Paul H. Keyes D.D.S., clinical investigator at the National Institute of Dental Research, advised regular brushing with salt and/or baking soda, as it prevents all destructive periodontal (gum) disease. Dr. Keyes states “Over the years when I was lecturing, I asked thousands of dentists and hygienists to raise their hands if they had ever seen destructive periodontal disease in person[s] who had regularly brushed with salt and/or [baking] soda. I have never seen a hand! And although I have not seen many such cases, the periodontal health in these patients has always been excellent”. Review(s) So gentle and fresh! My favourite part of this totally natural toothpaste is the baking soda, and the seamless way it foams up in mouth. The texture is great, soooo gentle. Feels like a dream in the mouth to brush. Very fresh, clean. Living Libations makes alternatives to conventional products FUN and better than ever! Thank you!!! Much Improvement! My dentist stated a much noticeable improvement in my gums! My next cleaning is in 6mo instead of 4mo. Yeah! Thank You! My favourite toothpaste :-D There's no doubt about it - this is my favourite toothpaste ever. Such a smooth and pleasant feeling to use it. Lovely feel of having been thoroughly cleansed AND refreshed in my mouth. I might be having a bit of an addiction with the taste and smell. It is SO good. It is more sweet, fresh/wood'ish and aromatic than the clay and neem products. I feel all happy at night, when I go out to brush my teeth - I'm like: 'Yaaay - I'm using the frankincense paste!' So easy to use and will last a very long time. The last bottle I bought lasted for 8 months - so you really get value for your money. Great substitute for boring baking soda I'm so glad that Nadine made this product. I am a fan of her whole tooth cleaning and oral health protocol. This product is a great substitute for boring baking soda. It is a pleasant soft flavor and the pump is very handy. I will buy this again. Spectacular! This toothpaste is spectacular! my mouth feels so clean, the missing link in my routine. the container is perfect for it, so tidy. even with the weather so hot it plopped a perfect pearl onto my brush, the texture is the right amount of 'grit' without feeling abrasive and rinses clean. love it. I need to rave about the frankincense toothpaste Over the years I have made numerous efforts to wean myself off the drugstore nasties when it comes to toothpaste. Despite enjoying so many of your product as an addition to my mouth care and trying all sorts of natural products, sensitive teeth that stain easily kept me coming back to to sensodine and co. I was never comfortable using those kind of products in the thin membranes of the mouth and so close to my brain! This paste is amazing. I have been using it for over a month with no sensitivity, which has never happened before without special toothpaste and my teeth are really white and healthy. I feel so much better using a product like this and it has even helped clear up my skin now that I am not brushing toxins into my mouth daily. Thank you! Smitten I am totally smitten with the new Frankincense toothpaste, among other things. Thanks for all that you do in the world! My Dentist is Impressed with the Results My dentist is impressed with the results I am achieving using this product along with my better overall oral hygiene regimen.

Add a drop to toothbrush, mouth rinse, massage into gums, or glide a drop over dental floss to cleanse the tiny spaces in between the teeth. Created for Children under 9 yearsMilder version of our effective Healthy Gum Drops formulaTested and Approved by Leif (at 2 years!) Nadine wrote this blog for Mothering.com on the Subject of Oral Care and Children: Sometimes, helping children to brush their teeth, or getting children to brush their own teeth, is like herding cats and, when children do brush their teeth, even when they are teenagers, do they do a thorough job? Is their brushing effective? In ancient times, children very rarely had cavities. Today, however, one of the biggest health concerns affecting little ones more than any other in North America and Europe is dental decay, ECC (Early Childhood Caries). Is it because dentists are giving out lollipops? (http://mothering.com/health/does-coke-money-corrupt-kids-dentistry) Did the ancients have advanced civilizations that cracked the code on toothpaste? Or, is it because breastfeeding fades in and out of popularity while processed formula proliferates? When your child closes her mouth against the toothbrush, while you cheerfully chant “If you get up in the morning… and you want to find something to do, you brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch” by Raffi, know, (that your dentist may not say so), but brushing isn’t everything. Dr. Weston Price (President of the America Dental Association from 1888-89) studied primitive skulls and traveled the world studying the teeth of cultures that ate only their traditional foods; cultures in which a cavity would be found in one in a thousand people. Cultures that had moved away from their nutrient-dense food and were plagued by white flour and white sugar had rotted teeth. Decay of tooth enamel is not only from food stuck in it. Dental decay occurs in two ways: internal and external. External factors are food in the mouth, acidity, bacteria, how the teeth fit together, and exercise. External factors play a role, but they are not the initiating factors in oral decay. Teeth are alive! They can regenerate, and this is why internal factors that nourish the teeth are so important. Real foods, hormonal balance, minerals, and the fluid exchange through the teeth are key. When the teeth are healthy, they are like trees, drawing their nourishment from the roots and the blood and digestive system are the soil. Nourishing fluid moves from the pulp chamber through to the dentin. Stress, processed food, and inadequate nutrition reverse this precious flow and the tooth starts to draw bacteria and acids from the mouth into the tooth. Teeth start forming inside the womb, and pre-natal nutrition with a healthy dose of fat soluble vitamins, minerals, and whole foods starts the process of building strong teeth. Around 2-3 years of age, the permanent teeth are forming/calcifying into the jawbone and, if there is a nutritional deficiency of minerals and vitamin C, D3, K2 and A at this time, teeth are formed that are less resistant to decay. This also means that breastfeeding mothers need to be abundant in whole nutrition as well. As teeth start to come in, wipe the teeth with a cloth dipped in salt water. This will help clear plaque and neutralize acids. Teach children to swish with salt water and spit it out, which will do most of the work. Later, brushing can begin using salt, baking soda or xylitol powder (from a health store). If a carie lesion begins, this does not necessarily mean a permanent cavity is inevitable. Know that the teeth are alive and brown enamel lesions could be reversed. When there is a carie lesion the salvia starts on the area to balance the decay, and the dentin inside your tooth will shot forth odontoblasts which regenerate new cells to the area. If this happens keep the tooth clean and look into the diet. Healthy Teeth Tips· Avoid bonding molars on the cavities (this traps bacteria in the tooth)· Offer zero processed food· In the beginning, stick to breastmilk and water· Floss when the teeth start getting close together· Avoid Fluoride water and treatments · Phosphorus and vitamin C help ease teething· Breastfeeding is not the cause of cavities· Soak all grains and beans overnight before cooking to get rid of phytic acid· Avoid all commercial toothpastes (toxic) – stick to the basics: salt, baking soda, and xylitol Review(s)   Yay to Brushing Time I just want to share a quick story... I have 2 1/2 year old twins. We struggle with them a bit regarding them allowing us to brush their teeth. Yesterday, they were sitting on my lap watching a video on YouTube of Nadine regarding healthy teeth. In the video, Nadine is wearing a pink dress. Since then my kids say at different times throughout the day, "Where did the pink lady go?" And my son will say, "I want to hug her!" When I want to brush their teeth now, I refer to the "pink lady" and they say "yay!" So to Nadine I say,"Thank you!" Not only do I love the products and feel so good about using them, my kids are more open to thee to brushing! My 6 year old loves this! My 6 year old Finn is really loving the Wild Child Healthy Gum Drops! He says he doesn't like toothpaste anymore! my child really doesn't like brushing her teeth.... but after trying this product for the first time tonite, she said she would brush her teeth whenever. So, I hope it is true. I am really hoping that this will help her teeth as the enamal has really come off of her teeth. She is only 4 and we eat super healthy-- but i think its the grains that must get to her teeth. Either way, I am really hoping that this is the answer that I need to help fix her teeth Thank-you My son started using the kids Gum drops. he had a "watch" on one of his teeth from a previous dentist visit and I couldn't believe that the dentist could not hardly find it at his last visit a few days ago and said everything looked great! Thank you Nadine! We will continue trying to heal our teeth with your products. Great Find I put a drop of the Wild Child drops on her toothbrush and brushed her teeth. She said that she "Liked it so much she wanted to have invisaligns so she could put a drop in and wear it all day."

Surthrival (Daniel Vitalis) Surthrival Thriving Healthy Gums 15ml
£75.00
Thriving teeth and gums are a powerful window to your overall health. Happy, healthy teeth and gums allow the full enjoyment of life's sensuality. This potent, revolutionary formula addresses oral care with the purity necessary to have the healthiest mouth ever. Potent essential oils of rose peppermint clove and thyme are gathered here for an effective anti-bacterial, anti-fungal anoint for oral care. Add one drop to toothbrush, mouth rinse with one drop, massage into gums, and best of all glide a drop over dental floss to cleanse the tiny spaces in between the teeth. For the healthiest gums use these formulas for brushing, flossing, massaging gums, mouth-rinses, proxabrushes, sulca-brushes, rubber-tip stimulators to overcome sensitive teeth, to aid abscesses, to ease the recovery of oral surgery, and for general overall cavity prevention.   Why does Surthrival Healthy Gums Work? Teeth are “alive”, similar to the crystalline calcium forms of a coral reef in the middle of the tooth is a pulp area containing nerve endings and blood vessels. The mouth’s saliva acts like an oceanic sea of alkalinity, protecting the teeth from acid. Acidity (from foods and bacteria) strips the teeth of enamel, eventually revealing the pulp through cavities, and the teeth become more vulnerable to bacteria. Bacteria are the cause of gingivitis, inflammation, periodontitis and decay. Below the gum line is cementum, a material similar to jawbone which keeps the tooth attached to gums and the jawbone held together with collagen fibres. These collagen fibres, pulp areas, nerve endings and blood vessels need alkalinity and nourishment. Our deeply penetrating formula, with amazing lipophilic properties, facilitates diffusion through the epithelium to nourish the cells, generate circulation to the gum tissue, dentine and blood vessels. The organic botanical extracts in these formulas are selected by Nadine Artemis for their individual and potent synergistic effect on the improvement and maintenance of gum and oral health. These combinations of antiseptic, astringent, circulatory and analgesic botanicals create optimal molecular activity and bioavailability for oral care. The unique combinations of our formulas create an oral care product with one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacities) scores, showing high antioxidant levels and therefore combating age-related degeneration. Applied orally, the natural botanical ingredients are absorbed through the gum mucosa - a much more direct way of entering your bloodstream. Forget Side Effects… introducing Side Benefits: Boosts immune systems and sinuses Soothes sore throats Keeps toothbrush clean Diminished canker sores Eases herpes   Quality of an essential oil is the key factor in its effectiveness, and only genuine oils contain the magical plant-metabolites. Our oils – nothing added or removed – are from the precious process of genuine distillation, resulting in the layered effect of botanical intelligence. Living Libations continually celebrates relationships with artisan growers, wild-crafters and distillers that are the gatherers of plant material. Skilled and caring distillers create long-low-slow distillations – capturing the mysterious intra-species potent molecules of plant-metabolites: which reflect the intention of the plant, communicate the strength of the plant, and share the secret endocrine system of the plant; all the subtle aspects of the plant alchemized into essence. Tea Tree, Melaeluca alternifolia, in scientific Dental studies (ADJ) Tea Tree is proven to be effective in the treatment of chronic gingivitis and inflammation. High in natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial constituents of 1,8–cineol and terpinen-4-ol, Tea Tree decreases the level of gingivitis and reduced plaque scores in the study. Another study showed a total of 162 oral bacteria types (including streptococcus) were inhibited and rapidly destroyed by less than 2% concentrations of Tea Tree oil. The Healthy Gum Drops formula contains more than 3% of this astringent and antiseptic essence. Clove, Syzygium aromaticum, is a traditional dental treatment. Clove is an analgesic (pain-killer), has the highest ORAC count, boosts immunity, stimulates blood flow and contains the botanical constituent eugenol which has an impressive range of actions against pathogens. Rose, Rosa damascena, adds resiliency and elasticity to gum tissue and tones collagen. Rose is a vulnerary, which speeds up healing and although rose is often seen as the beauty queen, rose (otto, the steam distilled rose) is a potent antiviral and antiseptic extract, with toning and cell and tissue regenerative properties. Cinnamon, Cinnamomum ceylanicum, antiseptic, antibacterial, stimulates blood circulation to the gums promoting their health and regeneration. Very high in eugenols, cinnamic aldehydes and cineol: potent anaesthetic and antiseptic properties that increase the production of white blood cells. Seabuckthorn Berry, Hippophae rhamnoides, is incredibly rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, beta-carotene and carotenoids to help the gums grow, increase elasticity and regenerate. Palmitoleic acid rarely found in plant oils, yet high in this berry oil is a major component of nourishing skin lipids. Jojoba, Simmondsia chinensis, a luxurious liquid wax ester sourced from cold-pressed seeds, containing vitamins E and B-complex, along with silicon, chromium, copper, zinc, and iodine, having strong antioxidant properties. Thyme Linalool, Thymus officinalis linalool, balances oral saliva secretions, stimulates the immune system, decongestant, antiseptic, warming, tonifying, effective immunostimulant and anti-bacterial agents. Peppermint, Mentha piperita, has digestive, analgesic, cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. The "peppermint" found in many toothpastes is generally a synthetic menthol or flavoring agent, lacking any potency to help prevent gingivitis; most oral-care products are artificially flavored. Real peppermint fights the bacterium that causes tooth decay. Oregano, Origanum vulgare, contains botanical phenols, which offer a broad spectrum of antibacterial, antifungal and anti-parasitic actions important to oral invincibility. "Just brushing your teeth with Colgate or rinsing with Listerine may not prevent tooth decay" - Dr. Zeines, DDS   Your mouth is an opening to your overall health. Mouth Math:   Acid + bacteria = inflammation = plaque = tartar = bleeding = sensitivity = decay = receding gums = exposed dentine = decay = lower immunity for overall health. It is important to attend to oral health. Sensitive teeth, receding gums and quality of breath are indicators that one’s oral hygiene needs some evolutionary attention. When you notice that your mouth is less healthy than it could be, it’s a sign that your whole body is suffering. A cavity, gum disease or a root canal is a sign that decay-causing bacteria has begun to overpower your mouth and immune system.   Teeth appear solid; yet, they are filled with microscopic tubules that, in healthy teeth, serve to carry nourishing fluids into the body. A single front tooth, for instance, has over three miles of tubules inside of it! When the mouth is less than healthy, the tubules carry bacteria and disease.   “Dental caries reflects systemic illness,” states Dr. George Meinig, D.D.S. “Once a tooth gets infected and the cavity gets into the nerve and blood vessels, bacteria find their way into those tiny tubules of the dentine.”     Therefore it is essential to treat the mouth, sensitive areas, receding gums, and signs of cavities with anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-bacterial agents that are beneficial to the entire immune system. Thriving Healthy Gums Potent Oral Care contains pure, potent essential oils that pass easily and swiftly through the bloodstream and into the gum pockets reviving sensitive areas and eliminating harmful bacteria.   The power of one drop! Add to salt-water for an excellent mouthwash.   One drop on your string of floss: getting Gum Drops between each and every tooth is very effective   Add one drop to your favourite SLS-free toothpaste or toothpowder for everyday cleaning (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is a foaming agent used in conventional toothpastes that is linked to sore gums and mouth ulcers)   Add one drop to a dry toothbrush – to brush teeth   Massage into the gums, especially areas where gum pockets are low and the dentine is exposed   One drop on inter-dental brushes for cleaning and on rubber-tip stimulators to ease sensitive teeth   One drop on tongue-scrapers to cleanse the tongue One drop on the tongue throughout the day for fresh breath. One drop gargled in water for sore throats One drop to soothe canker sores

Suitable for teeth and gums of every type — our floss is perfect for sliding through and around brackets, braces, and all the tight spaces in between.  Wintergreen Clean Floss is a vegan dream, coated in organic plant wax and it is rolled in a cylindrical glass and stainless-steel dispenser that are entirely recyclable and better yet, reusable. Wintergreen Clean Floss is a sliding, gliding nylon floss glazed with a pure plant wax harvested from the stems of the desert Candelilla plant and bamboo charcoal that adsorbs plaque and bacteria away from the teeth and gums for the ultimate clean. Wintergreen and Spearmint essential oils inhibit the bacteria that cause bad breath and bring a cool, fresh flavor for the sweetest scented breath.   This floss is a dental dream with Yogi Tooth Serum, Wintergreen Clean Activated Charcoal Paste, Tooth Truth Powder Polish, and Mint Condition Mineral Tooth Powder. To use: Wintergreen Clean Floss can be used every day. After brushing, apply one drop of your favorite oral serum along approximately 18 inches (45 cm) of floss, wrap the floss around fingers, and pull it tight. Slide floss between teeth, curve it around a tooth, and clean between the tooth and gums with gentle up and down motion. Repeat between each tooth, using a clean section of the floss. Ingredients: Nylon, Bamboo Charcoal, Candelilla wax, Wintergreen Essential Oil, and Spearmint Essential Oil. Mao Zhu Bamboo Charcoal - Phyllostachys edulis Mau Zhu is a rapidly growing, sustainable bamboo that matures to up to sixty feet in five years. As the bamboo “wood” hardens as it matures, millions of tiny holes form in the tissue, and it is these tiny holes that make this bamboo so great for charcoal. It is almost 25% more porous than standard wood charcoal. Candelilla Wax - Euphorbia antisyphilitica   This pure plant wax is harvested from the stems of the desert Candelilla shrub. The plant parts are boiled in water and the wax is skimmed off the top and bottled before coating the nylon floss. Wintergreen Essential Oil - Gaultheria fragrantissima Wondrous Wintergreen essence awakens the senses with a burst of cooling mint and snow-capped freshness. This botanical-biotic balances bacterium for fresh breath. Steam-distilled from the bright red berries and leaves of wild wintergreen, thriving even in the coldest of temperatures, this oil blesses with an essence of longevity and fortitude. Spearmint Essential Oil - Mentha spicata Sprightly Spearmint is peppermint’s softer, more understated, cousin. Fresh, fragrant spearmint soothes the senses with whispers of minty magnificence! The ancient Greeks chose spearmint to scent their bath water, while medieval populations used the herb to freshen breath and clean teeth. Like its cousin peppermint, spearmint also inhibits the bacteria that cause bad breath.
