I’ve been talking about oral health for over 15 years. I’ve interviewed some amazing oral health experts on the podcast and written a ton of articles. This is the ultimate list of everything you need to know about natural oral care!
The health of our mouth is more than just a nice set of pearly whites. It is an important indicator of overall health. When our bodies are not in good condition, it shows in our smiles. Inflamed and inflamed gums, yellow or loose teeth, bad breath…all point to other health problems as a root cause.
I’ve organized the following information by groups so you can find what you’re looking for more easily. Think of it as a natural guide to oral health. You’ll find everything from natural toothpaste recipes to how to remineralize teeth to precise oral care routines. Plus, there are plenty of expert interviews with dentists and other health experts.
Below is a summary of all my oral care recipes, articles, and podcast episodes for easy reference.
Ideas about traditional dental and oral care
Until I got older, I never thought to question conventional oral care. I used fluoride toothpaste and went to the dentist twice a year for cleanings. After learning about natural oral health, I started wondering how to do things. Here are some of my thoughts and research on traditional dentistry.
Tooth remineralization
After making some changes to my oral care routine and diet, I noticed some big changes in my oral health. Here’s what I discovered along the way and what worked.
Oral care procedures
Many people ask me what exactly I do or recommend when it comes to natural oral care. Below are the routines I used and details why each part is important.
Oral care ingredients
I’ve already covered some of this above, but here’s some more information about specific ingredients in store-bought and homemade oral care products.
Toothpaste and oral recipes
I like to change up the products and ingredients I use to maximize health. I’ve been looking for pre-made toothpaste lately because there are some really good ones out there now. And with everything that happens in life, sometimes it’s the simplest thing. If you want to make your own, here’s what has worked for me in the past to remineralize teeth and have a healthy mouth.
Teeth whitening
You can skip whitening strips with these easy DIY solutions. In general, strengthening teeth and eating nutrient-rich foods makes teeth whiter. However, they are good for an extra boost in removing stains naturally.
Oil pulling
Information on oil pulling and how to do it. It can help whiten teeth (see above) and reduce plaque. My dentist definitely noticed a difference after I started oil pulling regularly!
Podcast on natural oral care
This mix of individual episodes and expert interviews is in no particular order. It goes beyond traditional dental care and sheds light on topics like diet, the role of sunlight, what oral bacteria really are, and more. I found it to offer some amazing and profound truths!
