Patient controlled polishing for surface stain and tartar, used as needed rather than every day.
Overview
Essential Oxygen's On-Demand Tooth Polish is Step Three of The Pristine Protocol, EO's three step oral care system. It is a fine mineral powder that patients sprinkle on top of their toothpaste, used a few times a week rather than at every brushing, to give extra polishing power exactly when they need it.
Unlike the Rinse and the Toothpaste, this step does not rely on food grade hydrogen peroxide. Its polishing power comes from calcium based minerals and a botanical essential oil system, put to work only on demand.
Why This Product?
Most whitening toothpastes ask one formula to be both the gentle daily cleaner and the aggressive stain remover, which usually means more abrasion every single time a patient brushes, whether they need it or not.
Essential Oxygen split the job in two. The Organic Low Abrasion Toothpaste stays gentle enough for twice daily use, and the On-Demand Tooth Polish carries the extra polishing job, so patients only reach for more abrasion when surface stain or tartar actually calls for it. That gives patients, and their dental professional, real control over cumulative wear.

The Essential Oil Blend
There's a story behind this particular blend. During the plague years, legend has it a band of thieves robbed the sick and the dead and somehow stayed well themselves. When they were finally caught, they traded their secret for leniency: an aromatic blend of botanicals they wore and breathed to stay protected. The classic "Thieves" oils are clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus, and rosemary.
The Polish extends that lineage with peppermint, spearmint, and wintergreen, so the same botanical character carries through the whole Pristine Protocol, from rinse to paste to polish.

|---|---|
| Wintergreen | Contributes to the formula's cooling, fresh flavor profile |
| Cinnamon Leaf | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, contributes warmth to the flavor |
| Eucalyptus Leaf | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, contributes to aroma and freshness |
| Clove Bud | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, contributes a distinctive spice note |
| Lemon Peel | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, brightens the flavor profile |
| Rosemary Leaf | Part of the traditional Thieves blend, rounds out the aromatic complexity |
Suggested Use
Sprinkle approximately 1/4 teaspoon of On-Demand Tooth Polish on top of Organic Low Abrasion Toothpaste, then brush as usual. Use 3 to 7 times a week depending on the patient's level of surface staining or tartar buildup, not as a replacement for daily brushing.
Pair It with the Full Protocol
For best results, pre rinse with Essential Oxygen BR Organic Mouthwash + Brushing Rinse, then brush daily with Organic Low Abrasion Toothpaste, and bring in the Polish as needed. Learn more about the full Pristine Protocol at essentialoxygen.com.
Dental professionals should adjust frequency recommendations based on each patient's enamel condition, dentin exposure, sensitivity, restorations, periodontal status, and staining pattern.
