Smart Floss™ - More Effective than Regular Floss

There's no other floss quite like Smart Floss™. It stretches and expands into interdental spaces for better removal of plaque and food particles. This high-performance floss is suitable for everyone - people with tight spaces, wider spaces...even braces.

This revolutionary floss is also great for gums. You see, Smart Floss™ dental floss is gentler on gums because it is cushion-soft and can stretch. Unlike those other flosses with no spring that can often hurt gums...and fingers! Smart Floss™ dental floss is clinically proven to be more effective than regular floss. It has been shown to remove up to 40% more plaque than some of the most popular flosses, i.e. regular waxed and unwaxed flosses and PTFE monofilament floss (compare to Glide®).

Even electric or manual flossers which claim to be "as effective as regular floss" are no match for Smart Floss. Smart Floss can clean around the teeth and reach deeper into the interdental spaces, leaving teeth cleaner - and you smiling longer!

Now there's no excuse to use a less effective floss.

Finally, all the benefits of Himalayan Sea Salt and Baking Soda with the added features of Xylitol - in one great tasting natural tooth powder. Great for kids.

If you are brushing your teeth with regular toothpaste that has triclosan in it, and you are rinsing with tap water that has chlorine in it, you are getting a little chemical reaction right in your mouth.

About our Solay Smile Natural Tooth Powder and Ingredients:

Essential Oils We Use

Cloves were important in the earliest spice trade. With a strong aroma and hot and pungent taste, they are used to flavour many foods. Clove oil is sometimes used as a local anesthetic for toothaches. Eugenol, its principal ingredient, is used in germicides, perfumes, and mouthwashes, in the synthesis of vanillin, and as a sweetener or flavour intensifier. It is often considered medicinal and antiseptic.

Spearmint principal uses of the oil are in flavoring gum, toothpaste, and candy. Recent research indicates that spearmint may have useful antibacterial properties in addition to its traditional uses as a digestive aid. It is high in vitamins A and C. In general, field mint is said to be helpful in stimulating movement of the qi or life energy that may become stagnated in the liver.

Peppermint is a cooling, relaxing herb that contains properties that help ease inflamed tissues, calm muscle spasms or cramps, and inhibit bacteria and microorganisms. It also has pain-relieving and infection-preventing qualities. Peppermint also contains vitamins A and C, magnesium, potassium, inositol, niacin, copper, iodine, silicon, iron, and sulfur.

The essential oil is a powerful antiseptic and is useful in treating bad breath and sore throats. It is also beneficial in preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

Pure xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. Studies using xylitol as either a sugar substitute or a small dietary addition have demonstrated a dramatic reduction in new tooth decay, along with arrest and even some reversal of existing dental caries. Xylitol provides additional protection that enhances all existing prevention methods. This xylitol effect is long-lasting and possibly permanent. Low decay rates persist even years after the trials have been completed.

Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism. Xylitol is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are fruits, berries, mushrooms lettuce, hardwoods, and corn cobs. One cup of raspberries contains less than one gram of xylitol. Chewing is a natural process and chewing gums provide some exercise lacking in a refined diet. If chewing is uncomfortable, xylitol mints or candies can also stimulate saliva, the natural tooth protector.

Happy, healthy teeth and gums allow the full enjoyment of life's sensuality. Your mouth is the opening to your overall health. At last, a truly effective product to reach every tiny crevice in your mouth. How these products are anti-bacterial and nourish the gums, teeth and saliva:Mouth Math: acid + bacteria = inflammation = plaque = tartar = bleeding = sensitivity = decay = receding gums = exposed dentin = decay = lower immunity for overall health.The middle of the tooth is a pulp cavity and it contains nerve endings and blood vessels. Teeth are "alive" similar to the crystalline calcium make up of coral reefs. The mouth's salvia acts like an oceanic sea of alkalinity. Acidity strips the teeth of enamel making the teeth more vulnerable to bacteria. Unhealthy bacteria are the cause gingivitis, inflammation, periodontitis and decay.Under the gum line is cementum, similar to the jawbone; it keeps the tooth attached to gums and jaw bone held with collagen fibres. These deeply penetrating formulas containing amazing lipophilic properties facilitate diffusion through the epithelium help nourish the cells by promoting circulation to the gum tissue, dentin and blood vessels within our teeth.

These formulas combined create oral–care with one of the highest ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacities) score. Each one of the botanical species in these formulas is carefully selected by Nadine Artemis for their individual and synergistic effects that improve and maintain gum and oral health. The combination of antiseptic, astringent, circulatory and analgesic botanicals create optimal molecular activity.

About Each Ingredient

Tea Tree, Melaeluca alternifolia, in Scientific Dental studies (ADJ) tea tree proves effective in the treatment chronic gingivitis and inflammation. High in natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial constituents of 1,8 –cineol, terpinen-4-ol, decreasing the level of gingival teeth, reduced plaque scores. Another study showed a total of 162 oral bacteria isolates (including streptococcus) were inhibited and rapidly destroyed by less than 2% tea tree oil concentrations. The Healthy Gum Drops formula contains more than 2% of this astringent and antiseptic essence.

Clove, Syzygium aromaticum, analgesic, highest ORAC, boost immune, stimulates blood flow, eugenol, impressive range of action against pathogens Rose Otto, Rosa damascena, adds resiliency and elasticity to gum tissue, tones. Rose is a vulnerary, which speeds up healing, although rose is often seen as the beauty queen, rose (otto, the steam distilled rose) is a potent antiviral and antiseptic extract, and tissue regeneration; Tonifying Cinnamon, Cinnamomum ceylanicum, antiseptic, antibacterial, stimulates blood circulation to the gums promoting their health and regeneration, eugenol, very high in cineol a potent anaesthetic and antiseptic, increases the production of white blood cells; Eugenols and cinnamic aldehydes,Seabuckthorn Berry, Hippophae rhamnoides is incredibly rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, beta-carotene and cartenoids to help the gums grow and regenerate. The rare Palmitoleic acid is abundant in this ingredient and rich in lipids.

Jojoba, Simmondsia chinensis, luxurious liquid wax ester from cold-pressed seeds, containing vitamins E, B-complex, along with silicon, chromium, copper, zinc, and iodine, strong antioxidant properties, Thyme Linalool, Thymus officinalis linalool, Balances oral salivary secretions, stimulates immune system, decongestant, antiseptic, warming, tonifying effective immuno-stimulant and anti-bacterial agents Peppermint, Mentha piperita, digestive, analgesic, cooling, anti-inflammatory; the "peppermint" in toothpastes is usually artificial menthol and of no benefit in preventing gingivitis, as most products are artificially flavored these days.

A very small amount is needed for effective brushing. One jar lasts approximately one month.

Ingredients: Aqua (water), bentonite, quercus alba (white oak) bark extract, triticum eastivum (wheatgrass) sprout extract, sanguinaria canadensis (bloodroot) extract, commiphora molmol (myrrh) extract, hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal) leaf extract, curcuma longa (turmeric) extract, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, cellulose gum, eupatorium rebaudianum bertoni (stevia) leaf extract, mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, eugenia caryophyllus (clove) flower oil, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, eucalyptus globulus (eucalyptus) oil, gluconolactone, sodium benzoate.

Directions: Use instead of toothpaste twice daily. Brush for two full minutes to ensure thorough cleansing. Don't rush through the procedure. Two minutes are needed to allow the detoxifying actions of bentonite clay and the botanical healing extracts to absorb and exert maximum effect. Rinse with water.

What's so great about our new Bentonite Oral Balm?

Bentonite clay with white oak bark and wheatgrass extract is an unbeatable combination to leave your mouth fresh, clean and healthy. The difference is so remarkable, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’d never want to use a regular white (silica) toothpaste again.

What's Wrong with Conventional Toothpaste?

One of the most important things you can do for your overall dental health is to stop using toothpaste off drugstore and supermarket shelves, even if they are cheaper. Commercials and popular culture condition us to associate its refreshing flavor and sudsy action with cleanliness and oral hygiene. But the truth is: Conventional toothpaste just doesn't belong in a healthy person's toiletry kit.

Why wouldn't I consider using it again? Regular store-bought toothpastes contain a soup of damaging chemicals. Want proof? Start by reading the warning label on the back of your toothpaste tube. Swallowing toothpaste, especially fluoridated brands, can lead to diarrhea and nausea. Toothpaste must be kept away from children under six, and if you ingest an amount greater than needed for brushing, it's time to call either a physician or the Poison Control Center.

Question: If you can't eat it, does it have any business being in your mouth?

Toothpaste is a symphony of artificial ingredients, some of which are known to be unhealthful - hence the warning labels. Chemical stabilizers, preservatives, foaming agents, dyes, and artificial flavorings - you'll find all of these in common toothpastes, occasionally accompanied by bleaching agents. Molecules of these ingredients may penetrate the sensitive, porous mucous membranes and tissues of the mouth, enter the bloodstream and build up in other tissues and organs. Insidiously, they contribute to a toxic overload and can, in the long run, do your teeth more harm than good.

Most commercial toothpastes, and sadly even some ‘natural’ ones found in health food stores, contain ingredients you'd be smart to avoid. What's more, as you'll find when you're farther along in your raw foods journey, commercial toothpastes taste horrendous to a healthy mouth.

Fluoride The best-known ingredient in commercial toothpastes is fluoride. The facts about fluoride's side effects and health hazards are no longer secret. Fluoride has in times past been aggressively promoted as mandatory for preventing cavities. Recently, however, the pendulum has begun to swing in the opposite direction, and we're learning that fluoride is not the panacea it was originally touted to be. Fluoride is associated with thyroid dysfunction, for example, because it acts as a hormone disruptor. Fluoride can sever the protein molecules that help gums adhere to teeth, contributing to gum pockets. Excess fluoride (called dental fluorosis) can lead to the pitting and discoloration of tooth enamel.

Silica is derived from silicon dioxide, a mineral found abundantly all over the Earth. Translation: sand - a highly abrasive substance that can wear away tooth enamel, the very thing we are working to build up. This abrasive action leaves teeth more sensitive and susceptible to staining. An old debate raged over ‘hydrated’ versus ‘crystallized’ silica, and the latter was found to be carcinogenic. “Hydrated’ silica won. Nowadays, there is still some potential for hydrated silica used in toothpastes to be contaminated with the toxic crystalline form. Crystalline silica can only be detected by specific X-ray testing. Some ‘natural’ toothpaste manufacturers pride themselves on using hydrated silica because it is, they claim, a more ‘natural’ abrasive than some of the other options. Still, the results are the same.

Sweeteners and artificial flavors Most common detergents such as sodium lauryl sulfate used in commercial toothpastes require artificial flavorings and sweeteners to make the paste palatable. Manufacturers use artificial flavorings, of course, because sugar is an obvious no-no. Saccharin is probably the most widely used sweetening agent, with aspartame second. Flavoring agents finish the job - mint is the most widely used, preferred for the cool freshness it imparts. Mint is also known for efficiently hiding other undesirable flavors. Ingredients used to mask flavors lend nothing to product effectiveness. They are merely fillers that drive up the cost, and the risks. As for artificial colorings, research has already established that these are carcinogenic and cause allergic reactions in many people. They're not called “artificial” for nothing.

Foaming Agents Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is the most common detergent and foaming agent used in commercial toothpastes. Its relatively low cost makes it hard for manufacturers to pass up. SLS is used in laboratories to destabilize membranes and as an agent to make proteins and lipids more soluble. In clinical testing, SLS is used as a skin irritant to test other substances for their healing abilities. Because of its drying effects, it can lead to bad breath and all the other bacteria-promoting aspects of dry mouth. SLS can bring on mouth ulcers by stripping the lipids from the surface of oral tissues, resulting in damage to underlying tissues.

In my ebook 100 Days to 100% Raw, one of the first things I recommend to those transitioning to the raw food lifestyle is to start brushing with sea salt and a pure, natural soap. People who have preserved their healthy teeth into their advanced years swear by this recipe. Those who begin with compromised teeth, as I did, may find this combination somewhat harsh. Struggling with my own tooth and gum sensitivity, I found that bentonite clay with white oak bark brings healing results. Bentonite clay has unique absorption properties. Bentonite is popular the world over for its ability to draw out and absorb toxins, heavy metals and other impurities. Its unique swelling structure attracts and soaks up poisons rather like a sponge. It is widely used for internal cleansing.

This made me think bentonite would be ideal for oral applications, since our mouths harbor numerous harmful microorganisms.

Additional bonus: we were able to avoid foaming agents all together. Lather and foam make you feel you have a detergent in your mouth. And you do. The future belongs to clay toothpaste. Mark my words!

White oak bark extract's potent antiseptic and astringent properties help protect against bacterial invasion while tightening gum tissues. I researched all the herbs ever known to promote healing for teeth and gums, and added them for good measure.

My next big challenge was to give my Oral Balm a nice color instead of grey, the color of bentonite clay. After not having found any natural ingredients to give us a pleasant color, a momentous idea struck me; the beautiful green of wheatgrass powder. Now the problem was how to make it water-soluble. We had to develop a complicated process to make an extract that would mix well with bentonite.

The result: Bentonite Oral Balm with White Oak Bark and Wheatgrass was born. It has the consistency of nut butter, a natural light green color, a natural mint aroma, and a pleasant herbal taste.

Bentonite clay with white oak bark and wheatgrass extract is a winning combination to leave your mouth fresh, clean and healthy. The difference is so remarkable; I wouldn’t be surprised if you'd never want to use conventional white (silica) toothpaste again.

For everyday brushing needs, you'll greatly benefit from using an all-natural, multi-purpose oral paste you can not only brush with, but use as a balm or salve for your gums. You can chew it for added effect, and you can even swallow it with no adverse effects whatever! Yes, every single ingredient is edible - which is definitely not the case with conventional toothpastes. What's more, bentonite clay and every herbal extract will in some way help improve your overall oral health. You'll never have to worry about swallowing it. If you do, no problem! Consider the ingredients.

Our Oral Balm Ingredients

Bentonite Bentonite clay is the foundational ingredient in my new formula. It's one of the most powerful detoxifying agents known. It offers superior purifying properties to draw out toxins - highly desirable in an oral care product because the mouth harbors millions of bacteria. Bentonite clay is safe to use both externally and internally. Bentonite, a powerful healing clay used in poultices, intestinal cleansing products, mud masques and other skin care products, has a very fine velvety texture. It is odorless and does not stain. Bentonite clay has the ability to draw debris out of tissues, while improving circulation. When mixed with herbs or essential oils, its effects are only enhanced, and it can act as a powerful antibacterial as well as a soothing agent.

White Oak Bark (Quercus Alba) White Oak Bark2has been used for centuries to combat conditions such as mouth sores and bleeding gums. The tannins in white oak bark bind with protein in the tissues, strengthening them against bacterial invasion, forming a protective coating which allows new tissue to regenerate underneath. When used externally, white oak bark’s astringent qualities alleviate many ailments, including mouth sores and bleeding gums.

Powdered Wheatgrass Wheatgrass juice was popularized in health circles in the mid twentieth century by the legendary Ann Wigmore, founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute. The juice may be drunk fresh or eaten after the grass has been dried into powdered form. Not only has it been used successfully in the natural treatment of cancer, ulcerative colitis and a host of other diseases, its powerful cleansing, detoxifying and purifying properties also make it a valuable addition to a dental care program. Wheatgrass contains abundant amounts of high quality chlorophyll, approximately 70%, which is believed to help carry oxygen to every cell in the body. This, in turn, helps the body to fight off disease and harmful bacteria.

Chlorophyll arrests the growth and development of unfriendly bacteria by producing an unfavorable environment for their proliferation. Used orally, wheatgrass juice is very effective at drawing toxins and impurities out of the gums and surrounding tissues. The chlorophyll found in wheatgrass also has deodorizing properties. Chlorophyll's ability to combine with oxygen seems to contribute to its ability to remove foreign matter and toxins from the walls of blood vessels and capillaries. Wheatgrass also contains an enzyme known as SOD, which acts as an anti-inflammatory.

The effectiveness of chlorophyll, such as that found in wheatgrass juice, for oral health was proven by a dentist named Homer Judkin of Paris, Illinois. He reported in his findings that after injecting chlorophyll into the gums of his patients, infections ranging from trench mouth to advanced cases of pyorrhea responded dramatically within thirty days. The gums tightened up and remained clean.

According to Dr. Gloria Gilbere, N.D., D.A. Hom., Ph.D., wheatgrass juice is highly beneficial for oral health because it possesses the ability to destroy harmful germs and microbes, boosts immunity, neutralizes cell toxins and bacteria, and contains liquid oxygen and detoxifying enzymes as well.

Used orally, wheatgrass is indispensable for neutralizing toxins, tightening the gums and sweetening the breath.

What a mouthful!

Coconut oil has been gaining in recognition among health enthusiasts, owing to its enormous health benefits, both internally and externally. But you may not have known it's also helpful in treating periodontal problems. Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). These fatty acids neutralize odors due to their ability to kill disease-and-odor-causing germs. Its moisturizing effects, especially when used at night, help combat dry mouth that encourages bacterial growth and plaque.

Other benefits derive from caprylic and lauric acids in coconut oil, which contribute to its antifungal capabilities. Caprylic acid is highly effective against E. coli, salmonella and candida. Lauric acid is beneficial to the immune system. Coconut oil is also an effective antiviral agent. If you are practicing oil pulling in the morning, consider using 1 or 2 tablespoons of coconut oil instead of raw sesame oil, or alternating back and forth between the two.

Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) is esteemed today for its immune system enhancing properties. An herbal antibiotic, it is also valued for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, tonic, and haemostatic properties. For many years it has served medicinally as a treatment for various types of inflammation of the mucous membranes, both internal and external. Goldenseal’s combination of benefits makes it a favorite for use in mouthwashes and gargles. Goldenseal contains a group of alkaloids, including berberine, effective against Streptococci. Goldenseal, abundant in minerals such as iron and silicon, also has astringent qualities that help prevent bleeding of the gums.

Stevia (Stevia Rebaudiana) plays a double role in dental health. It imparts a sweet flavor that’s totally sugar and calorie free. We are using dry green leaf stevia, not an extract of refined white stevia. The healthy green color of Oral Balm is partially due to the beautiful certified organic wheatgrass and green leaf stevia. The latter adds a completely safe sweetness that won't cause tooth decay. Stevia has been proven to inhibit plaque growth and has been used in some South American countries specifically as a dental aid. Portuguese researchers have shown Stevia inhibits the growth and reproduction of Streptococcus mutans, the main factor in the formation of dental plaque.

Eucalyptus (of the Myrtaceae family, which also includes the myrtle, clove, and guava plants) contains a volatile oil prized for its high medicinal value. The oil, which is steam-distilled, contains antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and antispasmodic properties. Eucalyptus oil comes in three grades. The medicinal grade contains the compound eucalyptol, sometimes called cineol. The oil, extracted from the leaves, is effective against many types of Staphylococcus bacteria, including plaque-producing bacteria. It is used in mouthwashes to fight gum disease and gingivitis.

Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia, native to Australia) is so effective at killing germs that some Australian dentists even use it to sterilize teeth before filling cavities. Better to have used it before cavities developed! Due to its potent antiseptic benefits, studies have shown, daily use of tea tree oil inhibits bacteria and plaque, reducing the incidence of bleeding gums. In 2004 The Australian Dental Journal published a study showing that tea tree oil was found to be effective against gingivitis. The oil is also used to relieve the pain of canker sores.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is one of Ayurvedic medicine's wonder herbs. Its active ingredient, curcumin, an antioxidant known chemically as a polyphenol, helps give it anti-inflammatory benefits. Turmeric harbors an impressive array not only of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits but antiseptic properties as well. Recent research has investigated its promising abilities to prevent and block cancer cell formation. Turmeric’s warming qualities help increase circulation. A French study suggested that curcumin seems to alter the genetic signaling involved in plaque buildup at the molecular level. Turmeric fights gum inflammation by suppressing the action of a gene that creates irritant chemicals. In the absence of irritation, bacteria cannot find a place to grow, which reduces the likelihood of gingivitis. Turmeric also, researchers believe, reduces inflammation by lowering histamine levels.

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis) contains the plaque-reducing compound sanguinarine, shown in studies to help reduce the amount of dental plaque deposited on teeth. Sanguinarine helps reduce plaque, and consequently gum disease, through its ability to chemically bind to plaque, preventing it from adhering to teeth. This is one small example of the truth of the old saying: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Myrrh (Commiphora species pluralis) is a broad-spectrum antiseptic found effective in preventing tooth decay. The tannins it contains give it astringent properties. Aside from its antiseptic and antibacterial compounds, myrrh is also reported to have antiviral, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties and to be one of the most favorable healing herbs for gingivitis. Myrrh works as an antimicrobial in two ways - by stimulating white blood cells, and by directly affecting microbial activity. It is recommended specifically in herbal medicine for the treatment of oral infections, gingivitis and pyorrhea.

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) seems just a common spice rack item, but its power is not to be underestimated. This humble spice not only carries a fascinating history but also is one of the most important ingredients a dental formula could have. Clove oil contains a molecule called eugenol which inhibits disease-causing bacteria while leaving beneficial bacteria intact. Clove oil is also the oil highest in anti-oxidant capabilities. It is highly antimicrobial and antiseptic, making it suitable for parasite-cleansing formulas. Clove is probably most well known, however, for its ability to numb tooth and gum pain when applied topically. Clove oil is used around the world for all types of dental pain, and its aromatic and disinfectant properties make it perfectly suited for mouthwashes and toothpastes.

Calendula (Calendual officinalis) with its long track record as a natural, nontoxic means of healing wounds and soothing skin, is widely used in homeopathic medicine. Calendula is a “vulnerary agent,” which means it promotes wound healing. It offers anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties and has been used to treat lacerations and skin infections and to aid in healing inflamed mucous membranes, thanks to its astringent qualities and the anti-inflammatory triterpenoid esters contained in its petals and pollen.

This alkalinizing polish is made with neem, cinnamon, peppermint, coconut oil, olive oil, jojoba, soapwort and spring water.

Use only tiny ONE drop on a dry toothbrush.

This special formula will leave your teeth feeling smooth and further allow minerals, enzymes and nutrients in your saliva to re-mineralize the enamel. Include a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum, Healthy Gum Drops and/or a pinch of baking soda for even more anti-bacterial FUN!

The Neem Enamelizer is different in function/results than Yogi Tooth Serum and Healthy Gum Drops. The Neem Enamelizer is for the brushing stage only. Yogi Tooth Serum and/or Healthy Gum Drops is for many phases of oral care (brushing, flossing, massaging gums, abscess, post-dentistry).

Then floss with Yogi Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops.

Healthy teeth exist in a sea of saliva, a sea of saline alkalinity. Imagine that your mouth is a coral reef in which your teeth are the coral, surrounded by an ocean of alkalinity. When your teeth are lubricated in healthy saliva, they are at their absolute healthiest. In this state, you can heal a lot of decay and prevent new decay from occurring.

Your saliva is extremely important to the functioning of your mouth. It contains many chemicals and enzymes that exist specifically to take care of the teeth, and it is designed to bathe the teeth all day long in a solution that has a pH of approximately 7. This is exactly what your teeth and gums need. Saliva can re-mineralize or de-mineralize teeth. It controls bacterial flora in the mouth, prepares food for digestion, and produces certain vital hormones. If saliva is too acid, it dissolves the enamel on your teeth and creates an environment that houses bacteria. The longer the mouth remains acidic the more damage is done to the enamel. Weak, porous enamel and acidic gum tissue create sensitive teeth. Furthermore, saliva that has too much alkalinity excretes excess calcium and can create calculus build up on the teeth.

Cinnamon, Cinnamomum ceylanicum. Our true cinnamon bark essential oil from Madagascar is antiseptic and antibacterial. It stimulates blood circulation to the gums and promotes their health and regeneration. Cinnamon is high in the compounds eugenol and cineol, both of which have potent anesthetic and antiseptic properties that increase the production of white blood cells. According to the work of Drs Franchomme and Pènoel, cinnamon bark oil is effective against 98% of all pathogenic bacteria.

Neem, Azadiracta indica, has pain-relieving compounds that can reduce the discomfort of a toothache. The vasodilatation and anti-inflammatory compounds in neem prevent cell adhesion and kill the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Neem alkalizes the gums and mouth, and kills the bacteria that cause Pyorrhea and Gingivitis. Neem obliterates the calcium-forming organisms and the organisms that cause cavities. Neem is 'arista,' which in Sanskrit means “perfect, complete, and imperishable.” Neem has been used in Ayurvedic traditions for thousands of years in agriculture, food storage, and medicine. Many research studies prove that neem is fungicidal, miticidal, and antibacterial. Neem oil is an ideal remedy to eliminate periodontal and tooth infection. It can be applied locally around the teeth and gums and also benefits the gastrointestinal tract.

Foaming chemicals in your mouth while you are brushing your teeth do not create optimal oral ecology. Regular toothpaste gives an illusion of freshness, yet it does not really remove plaque, it is the brushing that does that. It is best to be minimalist about it and use a dry toothbrush with a dab of salt, baking soda, or a Tooth Serum.

The chemicals used in commercial toothpaste, including many of the brands sold in health food stores, include chemicals that you do not want in your mouth, such as glycerin, which coats the teeth and blocks the saliva from doing its primary job of re-mineralizing the enamel. You will also find calcium carbonate, which is essentially chalk that is not at all good for teeth. Also, what paste would be complete without the detergent and surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate, which makes toothpaste foamy? This known carcinogen breaks down your skin's natural barrier, easily penetrates skin, causing bleeding gums, and allows other chemicals to penetrate by increasing skin permeability approximately 100-fold. Additionally, when combined with other chemicals, it transforms into carcinogenic nitrates and can reside in the body for five days.

Some toothpastes contain propylene glycol, also known as anti-freeze, which is only handled with gloves in a lab. Then there’s the FD&C color pigments (including coal tar derivatives that contain heavy metals and accumulate in the body), formaldehyde, Triclosan (a registered pesticide and bio-persistent chemical that destroys fragile aquatic ecosystems), artificial sweeteners, and synthetic isopropyl alcohol. You may also be surprised to learn that ethanol is the primary ingredient in most mouthwashes, even though it is known to cause approximately 36,000 cases of oral disease a year! How is it possible that carcinogens could help keep your mouth healthy? Yet when people find that they have breath or gum problems, one of the first things they do is go out and get a new brand of toothpaste and a big bottle of ethanol-based mouthwash.

In 1996, Nadine spoke at the International Herb & Aromatherapy Conference in Arizona. She was happy to meet a very dear man who was handing out unique pamphlets about the hazards of fluoride and glycerin in toothpaste. He advised her to try brushing the teeth with soap! Curious, Nadine tried brushing with a tiny dash of soap from a bar of Castile soap and it worked really well. Later, this experience led to the development of Neem Enamelizer, which combines herbs, essential oils, and bio-saponins to brush the teeth. This pioneer was Gerard Judd and he wrote Good Teeth from Birth to Death.

If you are brushing your teeth with regular toothpaste that has triclosan in it, and you are rinsing with tap water that has chlorine in it, you are getting a little chemical reaction right in your mouth.

About our Solay Smile Natural Tooth Powder and Ingredients:

Essential Oils We Use

Cloves were important in the earliest spice trade. With a strong aroma and hot and pungent taste, they are used to flavour many foods. Clove oil is sometimes used as a local anesthetic for toothaches. Eugenol, its principal ingredient, is used in germicides, perfumes, and mouthwashes, in the synthesis of vanillin, and as a sweetener or flavour intensifier. It is often considered medicinal and antiseptic.

Spearmint principal uses of the oil are in flavoring gum, toothpaste, and candy. Recent research indicates that spearmint may have useful antibacterial properties in addition to its traditional uses as a digestive aid. It is high in vitamins A and C. In general, field mint is said to be helpful in stimulating movement of the qi or life energy that may become stagnated in the liver.

Peppermint is a cooling, relaxing herb that contains properties that help ease inflamed tissues, calm muscle spasms or cramps, and inhibit bacteria and microorganisms. It also has pain-relieving and infection-preventing qualities. Peppermint also contains vitamins A and C, magnesium, potassium, inositol, niacin, copper, iodine, silicon, iron, and sulfur.

The essential oil is a powerful antiseptic and is useful in treating bad breath and sore throats. It is also beneficial in preventing tooth decay and gum disease.

Pure xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. Studies using xylitol as either a sugar substitute or a small dietary addition have demonstrated a dramatic reduction in new tooth decay, along with arrest and even some reversal of existing dental caries. Xylitol provides additional protection that enhances all existing prevention methods. This xylitol effect is long-lasting and possibly permanent. Low decay rates persist even years after the trials have been completed.

Xylitol is right here, inside, already. Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism. Xylitol is widely distributed throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are fruits, berries, mushrooms lettuce, hardwoods, and corn cobs. One cup of raspberries contains less than one gram of xylitol. Chewing is a natural process and chewing gums provide some exercise lacking in a refined diet. If chewing is uncomfortable, xylitol mints or candies can also stimulate saliva, the natural tooth protector.
