Creating Health And Vitality Through Good Dental Care!

We shouldn’t be putting any kind of poison in our mouths at all because the mouth is highly absorbent.

I buy brands that are free of poison and not harmful to my body.

A toothpaste/toothpowder that I just learned about is much better than any of the others. It is called “Dirty Mouth,” and it was developed by a nurse who has really figured out a lot about dental health. She truly understands teeth, toxicity, how the tooth enamel works, and how it affects the gums.

One of the ingredients in the toothpaste that she has created is clay. Clay is the perfect ingredient to put in the mouth for cleaning teeth, because it has the minerals the teeth needs, and it also pulls toxins out. It cuts down on plaque, helps reduce bad bacteria in the mouth, and helps regrow the good bacteria that support the immune system.

Toxins are positively charged ions, (an ion is a charged atom), which are also called free-radicals. Clays are excellent at binding toxins, because they are negatively charged ions and they attract and bind well with these positively charged toxins. Then the clay (binding the toxins) can be effectively eliminated though the digestive process.

What most people don’t realize is that the oral biome (oral immune system) is the first place toxins can enter the body. If the oral biome (immune system) is not strong enough, then those toxins can enter into the gut and that immune system’s biome is quite different. Some toxins will thrive in that gut environment, like H. Pylori or E. Coli. The stomach or intestinal bacteria are not able to kill particular toxins, like those bacteria that should ideally be eliminated by the good bacteria in the mouth.

Most mouthwashes or toothpastes actually destroy those beneficial bacteria that would make up the oral biome (immune system) in the mouth.

If you look on some of the toothpaste or mouthwash packages, it might say, “kills bacteria.” But you don’t want to kill all of your bacteria. The good bacteria is your immune system. The good bacteria prevents the overgrowth of bad bacteria and prevents an acidic environment. This lack of beneficial bacteria and an acidic environment is what destroys the gums, which support the teeth.
Clay alkalizes the mouth’s environment, helps rebuild the good bacteria, and remineralizes the teeth.

The clay can also help bind with the toxins, like heavy metals or glyphosate (an antibiotic herbicide) that we get from water and conventionally grown foods, etc. The clay can help detoxify the tissues as you are brushing your teeth.

This clay can help you rebuild the beneficial bacteria that can kill J. pylori, E. Coli, or Streptococcus mutans, which are the leading bacteria that cause cavities and gingivitis. Your teeth are like bone. They are porous and a living part of your body.

People with digestive problems may actually find that their health improves if they boost their oral biome (good bacteria in their mouth), and remineralize their teeth and gums, while also removing toxins. The digestive process actually starts in the mouth.

Some ingredients to avoid –

1. Fluoride Many people are still under the illusion that fluoride is good for teeth, but fluoride is a neurotoxin and is an accumulative poison. Fluoride is particularly harmful to young males having growth spurts, which manifests itself as osteosarcoma (rare bone cancer) in their late teens or early 20’s.

According to a Harvard report, “Fluoride in Water: Children Exposed to Neurotoxin – Mothers Be Warned!” reveals some extreme health challenges that occur when fluoride is present in the water.

Dr. Elise Bassin found a strong, statistically-significant relationship between “fluoride exposure during the 6th through 8th years of life (the “mid-childhood growth spurt”) and the later development of osteosarcoma among young males.”

There have been NO long-term studies that found that fluoride in the water was beneficial, and in fact, studies show that fluoride causes many other detrimental health problems.

Some of the earliest opponents to fluoridation were biochemists. Dr. James Sumner, a Nobel Laureate biochemist at Cornell University says: “Everybody knows fluorine and fluorides are very poisonous substances… We use them in enzyme chemistry to poison enzymes, those vital agents in the body. That is the reason things are poisoned; because the enzymes are poisoned and that is why animals and people die.”

Health Effects of fluoride –

Fluoride is a highly toxic substance that can cause a range of adverse health effects. Certain members of the public are at particularly high risk of harm.

We need to have pure water to drink, but fluoride is not added to the water to purify the water. It is added with the idea that it helps prevent tooth decay, but the studies done on tooth decay were done with calcium fluoride. The fluoride added to our drinking water is different.

They add sodium fluoride and fluorosilicic acid, that can be contaminated with lead and arsenic, and are actually toxic waste from aluminum and fertilizer factories. So, this is NOT going to help prevent dental decay.

“Fluoride is a toxic industrial waste classified as a Schedule Seven – S7 Poison. It is a banned biocide in Europe, utilized in many prescription drugs as well as being the main ingredient in rat and cockroach poison.

Fluoride accumulates in bone and soft tissue. The pineal is a light receptive endocrine gland responsible for the production of serotonin. Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HTP), neurotransmitter also acts as a hormone, which is a mood enhancer). If this gland is harmed with this chemical, fluoride, it can cause depression and anxiety. Serotonin also supports the creation of melatonin a hormone that is essential for sleep (circadian rhythms), a lack of melatonin can cause insomnia.

The National Research Council stated, “Fluoride is likely to cause decreased melatonin production and to have other effects on normal pineal function, which in turn could contribute to a variety of effects in humans” (NRC, 2006, p. 256).

Many cities spend a great deal of money (as much as $1,000,000.00 or more) on purchasing the toxic waste from the fertilizer plants to put into the water supply. It is legally labeled “toxic waste” until the city purchases it, and then it is legally called “a product,” simply because it has been “purchased.”

Summary on fluoride:
This is a product that has been proven:
to NOT be the correct type of fluoride,
to NOT work in an ingested form,
to be an unapproved drug that cannot be regulated in dosage,
to cause osteosarcoma in males, well known alterations in teeth and bone structure and calcification of tendons and ligaments.
‘Moderate’ doses of fluoride cause spinal deformities and increased hip fracture tendency and kidney and gall stones. Higher levels cause death and are responsible for its major industrial use as a rodenticide.

Solubility calculations indicate that fluoride doses required to decrease calcium below physiological blood levels are comparable to those present in poisoned victims’ tissues and to those causing decreased beat rates in isolated heart cells in culture. Acute lethal poisoning and many of the chronic ‘low’ level effects of fluoride are mediated by calcium binding by the fluoride ion.

2. Glycerin

Glycerin is another ingredient commonly found in toothpastes. It coats the mineral deficient teeth with a layer that prevents the tooth from being able to remineralize. As an example, when you cover something with plastic wrap, nothing gets through it. Glycerin acts in the same way.

The teeth need these minerals. The clay can remove the glycerin from the tooth and allow the tooth to remineralize.

The Dirty Mouth products are Certified Organic and free of fluoride and glycerin. You can purchase the dental care products from Primal Life Organic. It is now my toothpaste of choice. I think it is a brilliant combination of ingredients.

It is used a little differently. You scoop it from the container with your toothbrush or a small utensil. Then you brush for two minutes, swishing it around in your mouth. Spit. Rinse if desired. For best results, brush twice a day. The clays and essential oils resist bacterial growth in your mouth, and cleans your teeth.

The ingredients in these tooth brushing clay powders vary with the different flavors. These tooth powders can include the following ingredients:

Black Spearmint Flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Activated Charcoal, Montmorillonite, Mentha Spicata (Spearmint) Oil

Peppermint Flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Montmorillonite, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil

Bubblegum Flavor: Colloidal Silver, Bentonite, Kaolin, Sodium Bicarbonate, Montmorillonite, Luo Han Guo (Monk Fruit), Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Oil*, Eucalyptus Radiata (Eucalyptus) Oil*, and Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Oil.

I will expand on a few of those tooth powder ingredients listed above, because I feel this is important.

• Colloidal Silver
A study published in 2018 showed that silver is a powerful anti-bacterial and can be used as a rinse to help reduce bacteria in the mouth that contributes to gum disease.

• Bentonite Clay is nontoxic and rich in vital minerals that are very beneficial for our teeth and gums – like calcium and potassium. It is a cleansing clay that gently scrubs and beautifully polishes the teeth. It works as an astringent by helping to remove tartar and clean the gums.

• White Kaolin Clay is high in calcium, silica, zinc, and magnesium. It helps to whiten and polish the teeth.

• Baking Soda is alkaline with a pH of 8.1, and it will neutralize the acids in the mouth. Baking soda gently cleanses and polishes the teeth, removes odors and can help freshen the breath.

• French Green Clay (also known as Illite Clay or Sea Clay) is very absorbent and helps cleanse the tissues from the harmful oils, toxins, and impurities found on the surface of the teeth. Mined from bedrock quarries in France, it is sun-dried, completely natural, unscented, and fragrance-free.z

French Green Clay is a bio-mineral and contains decomposed plant matter as well as many trace minerals, including silica, magnesium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, sodium, potassium, copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, manganese, phosphorous, silicon, micro-algae, kelp, and phytonutrients.

• Organic Essential Oils are used to freshen the mouth and make you forget that you are brushing your teeth with “natural earth ingredients.”

In addition to using a healthy toothpaste, I advise you not to share your toothpaste container with other toothbrushes. This is a personal use container.

Get a new toothbrush after any illness, or at least every two months. This will prevent the toothbrush from becoming too built up with contaminants.

Floss

Floss at least once a day to keep your gums healthy and to remove bacteria from between the teeth.

Tongue Scraper

Use a tongue scraper to keep the tongue clean and fresh. Tongue scrapers are available from Primal Life Organic. They have really nice dental packages. They are fairly inexpensive. I think they are something everyone should use.

To use it, you put the tongue scraper at the back of your tongue and gently bring it forward along your tongue, and then repeat. If you have a tongue that is coated with debris, bacteria and dead cells, then a tongue scraping may be helpful. It makes your mouth feel so much cleaner and fresher.

Whiten Teeth

“Dirty Mouth” also has a tooth whitener that I think is the best one for oral health, if you want whiter teeth.

If you really want to have the cleanest mouth and whitened teeth, then try my “oil pulling” detoxification technique first thing in the morning before you brush your teeth with the clays.

Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic Remedy used to enhance oral health and well-being. Oil pulling detoxifies the body, removes unsightly stains on teeth, and prevents illness and disease. (It’s described in detail in Chapter 11, in my book “Diabetes And Your Diet.”)

Mouthwash

Be careful about which mouthwash you use. Like I said before, you don’t want to kill the beneficial bacteria in your mouth, so be careful and avoid a mouthwash that “kills bacteria.” It may not be selective and may kill the beneficial oral biome bacteria that keeps the harmful bacteria in control.

Alcohol is used in many mouthwashes. Mouthwashes with a content of 25 percent or higher have been implicated in mouth, tongue, and throat cancers.

Another ingredient to watch out for in mouthwash is potassium bromate. It is used in sports drinks, citrus flavored drinks, breads, crackers, baked goods, and mouthwashes.

Why should we look out for potassium bromate? Our thyroid is our master gland. It is central to all of our body’s major functions. It influences our metabolism, digestion, energy, body temperature, skin, hair, sleep, mental acuity, nervous system, sexual organs, and hormonal system. In fact, it would be very difficult to find a system that is not influenced by the thyroid.

The main nutrient that supports our thyroid is iodine. What does this mean if we ingest potassium bromate? We have a certain amount of space for the iodine in our thyroid. When we ingest potassium bromate, it acts like iodine. It will take up the space for iodine and actually prevent your body from absorbing the iodine it needs. This contributes to iodine deficiency and cancer.

Brazil, China, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the European Union have all prohibited the use of this chemical compound. Check the ingredient lists carefully, and if it’s added under a certain percentage, the FDA doesn’t require them to list it on the label. This is something to be aware of in many products.
If concerned, you may want to call the company and ask.

Mercury

Mercury poisoning is a silent epidemic in the world today.
Mercury is a neurotoxin and it’s found in amalgam fillings, vaccines, seafood, personal care products, light bulbs,
batteries, electronics, and water.

Studies show that mercury, even in small amounts, can damage the central nervous system causing irritability, fatigue, mood swings, behavioral problems, tremors, headaches, hearing loss, dysarthria, incoordination, hallucinations, loss of peripheral vision, “pins and needles” feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth, lack of coordination of movements,
ringing in your ears, insomnia, and even death.”

Get those mercury-containing amalgam fillings removed safely and quickly. The IAOMT is a Scientific, Biological Dental Organization. It is a great resource to use in finding a safe dentist who is skilled at removing toxic mercury containing fillings. IAOMT has a SMART protocol, which stands for Safe Mercury Amalgam Removal Technique. The IAOMT has a number of resources for both dentists and patients that you might find of interest.

I send you wishes for perfect dental health, and in turn, a healthier body all around.
