Tips On Whitening Your Teeth

September 18, 2017 By Essential Oxygen

Guest Post

If you’re constantly hiding your smile because you’re afraid to show your stained teeth, whitening
can help restore your confidence. Your smile is one of the first features people notice about you, and
you want to be able to flash your pearly whites without feeling self-conscious. The good news is —
from do-it- yourself natural tips to in-office whitening procedures — there are many options available
to help you get whiter teeth.

Start Snacking on Crunchy Produce
Brushing and flossing are two of the best ways to prevent stains and keep your teeth looking white,
but what you eat also has a big impact on your teeth. Eating naturally abrasive, crunchy produce —
such as apples, carrots and celery — can help remove some of the stains that are discoloring your
teeth. So keep crunchy produce on hand as a healthy snack, and keep your teeth whiter at the same
time.

Avoid Foods and Drinks That Stain Teeth
If you want whiter teeth, make sure you’re avoiding foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. It’s
especially important to avoid these foods and drinks if you’ve recently used whitening products or
had an in-office whitening treatment. Dark berries, marinara sauce, red wine, sodas and coffee can all stain teeth. Energy drinks contain acids that can erode teeth and cause stains. If you must have these foods and drinks, rinse your mouth well after consuming them. Additionally, using a straw when
drinking beverages that may stain teeth can give you some extra protection.

Whitening Toothpastes
The key to whiter teeth may be in the toothpaste aisle. While routine visits to your dentist for regular cleanings are essential, using a whitening toothpaste can help keep teeth whiter and brighter on a daily basis. Quality whitening toothpastes can gently scrub away stains, and they are a perfect option to use between whitening treatments or dental cleanings. Be careful that some toothpastes are overly abrasive and can contain chemicals deemed harmful. Look for certified organic whitening toothpaste like Essential Oxygen Organic BR Toothpaste and if you’re not sure what whitening toothpastes are safe for your teeth, ask your dentist for a recommendation.

Try Whitening Rinses or Gel Trays (and Skip the Strips)
Skip those whitening strips you see at the store. Some dentists believe that the strips don’t distribute whitening ingredients evenly on your teeth. Since your teeth tend to be darker near your gum line, strips usually don’t reach these spots, which means you probably won’t get the results you want. Whitening gel trays and rinses are a better option, because they distribute whitening ingredients evenly over teeth. You can find over-the- counter options, like Organic Brushing Rinse which gently whitens or your dentist may provide whitening gel trays that offer even better results, since trays can be customized to fit your mouth.

Consider In-Office Whitening
There are plenty of home whitening remedies to try and multiple over-the- counter whitening
options. However, if you really want the best whitening results, consider in-office whitening at your
dentist’s office. In-office whitening is safe and offers the best results, quickly. Most patients enjoy
teeth that are three to eight shades brighter than before, and these results can’t be achieved with
over-the- counter kits. Talk to your dentist to find out if in-office whitening is a good choice for you.

Finally, Organic Toothpaste!

Finally – Certified Organic Toothpaste That’s Effective For All Oral Issues!

Essential Oxygen Unveils Revolutionary 3-Step Oral Care System That Includes Organic Toothpaste, The #1 Selling Natural Mouthwash and On-Demand Tooth Polish.

SAN RAFAEL, CA; August 10, 2017 — Brushing your teeth will never be the same thanks to the newly released Pristine Protocol by Essential Oxygen. This revolutionary three step system for optimal oral health and a radiant smile is designed to customize oral care needs since every mouth is different, using only natural ingredients. The Pristine Protocol builds on the trusted ten year results of the Organic Brushing Rinse, the #1 selling natural mouthwash; adding two new products: Organic BR Toothpaste & BR Tooth Polish.

The Pristine Protocol was developed over years of working closely with progressive dentists and listening to customer needs to determine that not one product, but a set of products was the answer to all oral issues. Dentists have largely noted that toothpastes are too abrasive, and causing a rise in teeth sensitivity – so ingeniously two of the three steps are completely non-abrasive, and the third is an abrasion on demand product.

Since ingredient quality and eco-friendliness were of utmost importance, the Pristine Protocol features organic, vegan, gluten free ingredients and no synthetic flavors. Additionally, the long awaited USDA certified Organic BR Toothpaste harnesses the benefits of coconut without using coconut oil that can clog your sink.

THE PRISTINE PROTOCOL:

STEP 1| Organic Brushing Rinse

STEP 2| Organic Toothpaste

STEP 3| On-Demand Tooth Polish

STEP 1 The Organic Brushing Rinse (BR) is a top selling, pre-rinse to refreshingly clean your whole mouth that is now superpowered. With it you can swish away bad breath and the bacteria that goes with it that can cause cavities and discoloration. Essential Oxygen was born over ten years ago when the company founder Kate Linforth, was on the verge of losing her teeth from advanced periodontal disease. She formulated the Brushing Rinse from food grade hydrogen peroxide, aloe vera and essential oils. She was overjoyed by what happened. Within three days her teeth had whitened dramatically and her tooth sensitivity was gone. Within a month her gums were healthy and her tartar was back in check. Others reported that they no longer got canker sores and that their breath was much fresher from using BR. The best part? It’s certified organic and has none of the ‘bad for you’ stuff like alcohol, fluoride or sodium lauryl sulfate. BR non-abrasive, safe for multiple times per day daily use, and can be used as a pre-rinse, in place of toothpaste, or on the go as mouthwash.

STEP 2 of the Pristine Protocol is the Organic BR Toothpaste, a low-abrasion paste that works for all oral issues while loving your enamel. After more than five years being perfected, the Organic BR Toothpaste is finally here to fight cavities, whiten teeth, promote gum health, freshen breath, and save sensitive teeth – all without ‘bad’ ingredients like fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), alcohol, or carrageenan. With many dentists concerned about toothpaste thinning enamel, Essential Oxygen created a low-abrasion paste for safe daily use. Based on #1 selling Organic Brushing Rinse, Organic BR Toothpaste contains the same ingredients (plus more good stuff!), utilizing the proven effective power of food grade hydrogen peroxide and organic essential oils that are antibacterial and antifungal to work on all oral issues.

STEP 3 is the BR Tooth Polish that offers abrasion on-demand to get your teeth their pearly whitest while not taking down your enamel in the process. This minty polish gives consumers the power to control how often they use abrasive on their teeth because every mouth is different! People with thin enamel can use the Tooth Polish once a week, and wine-loving, coffee-drinking, tartar-prone folks can use it 5 days a week and everyone can enjoy that fresh-from-the-hygienist feeling.

Essential Oxygen is now selling the Pristine Protocol online at essentialoxygen.com, Amazon, and is shipping to health retailers across the US. For sales inquiries please contact Kim Fernandez, Sales and Business Development at [email protected]. Suggested retail prices are: Organic Brushing Rinse 16 oz. = $13.49, Organic BR Toothpaste = $8.99, BR Tooth Polish = $8.99.

13 Non-Candy Options To Give Out On Halloween

October 25, 2016 By Essential Oxygen

halloween trick or treat non candy Essential Oxygen

By: Emmi Buck

We don’t need to tell you that candy (especially a LOT of candy, like on Halloween) can be bad news for your oral health. Trick-or-treat doesn’t need to mean a sweet, cavity-causing treat; you can give out other kinds of treats, or even tricks!

Don’t forget the first option in trick-or-treat 😉 … after all, it is a night for mischief and fun, right?!

Another bonus of avoiding chocolate candy is that many kids have allergies and dietary restrictions that make Halloween a bummer for them since most houses give out low-quality, GMO-sugar chocolate treats. The below options are far more suitable, sustainable, and healthy for all trick-or-treaters!

Fruit Snacks / Fruit Leather – As sweet as candy, but much healthier and in fun shapes. Top picks are Annie’s Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks, YumEarth Organic Gummy Bears, and Stretch Island All-Natural Fruit Strips.
Mini Trail Mix Packs – Most kids don’t see trail mix as ‘healthy’, but rather a fun treat with lots of choices! Trader Joe’s has good options, and so does Trophy Farm’s All Natural Snack Mixes.
Spooky School Supplies – A ghost eraser or vampire pencil would make any kid excited for class after Halloween!
Glow Sticks – Not only will trick-or-treaters light up with excitement, giving out glow sticks will literally light them up, and help them to be easily seen by cars while walking around the neighborhood.
Magic Tricks – The first part of trick-or-treat is tricks, and kids LOVE magic tricks. Look some up online to learn or buy. If you don’t want to leave kids empty handed, do a trick that involves a gift too, like finding a nickel or yo-yo in their witches’ hat.
Essential Oxygen Organic Brushing Rinse – Growing up, I lived on a street with 2 dentists. On Halloween, one gave out toothbrushes and the other gifted mini toothpastes, and to be honest… even as a kid I thought it was cool! Be the yin to Halloween candy yang, and give out our 3 ounce travel sized BRs to help combat cavities the coolest, foamiest, whole-mouth-healthiest way possible!
Non-Toxic Crafts – Steer clear of paints and play dough’s with ingredients you can’t pronounce, but check out Eco-Kids Eco-Dough and Natural Earth Natural Face Paint.
Bubbles!!! – What kid (or adult) doesn’t love bubbles? Some eco-friendly options include Fubbles Bubbles and Pustefix Bubbles, or easily make your own with 2 cups of warm water, 3 Tablespoons of Honest Co. Dish Soap, and 1 teaspoon of sugar.
Temporary Tattoos – Many brands make Halloween themed tats, but really any temporary tattoo will do! We found some cool non-toxic options including biNK’ed vegetable based tattoo sheets and Spestyle nontoxic temporary tattoos.
Apple Cider Single Serve Packs – Like fruit snacks, this is another sweet treat option that doesn’t pack quite the cavity-causing punch! You can even find sugar free options nowadays.
Popcorn – While making your own is the healthiest option, many parents won’t allow their kids to eat home-made treats. Try pre-popped and packaged options like non-GMO BoomChickaPop or popcorn look-alike Pirate’s Booty.
Bouncy Balls – Toys are great non-candy treats, and bouncy balls are always favorite toy. Look for bouncy balls that use natural plastic.
Granola / Snack Bars – There are SO many healthy options these days and even Halloween ones! Get Clif Kid Organic Z-Bars in Full Moon Brownie flavor or Nature’s Path Bars in Chococonut or Pumpkin-N-Spice.

Lead: Should You Be Worried About Clay?

August 2, 2016 By Essential Oxygen

By: Jessica Davis-Thompson

The oral hygiene market is a rapidly evolving one, and many progressive companies have found healthy alternatives to some of the dangerous ingredients found in mainstream oral care products. Harmful ingredients such as triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, aspartame, fluoride, propylene glycol, diethanolamine, and plastic microbeads have been replaced by ingredients like hydrogen peroxide, essential oils, herbs, and coconut oil. One of the more popular ingredients is bentonite clay, also known as montmorillonite clay.

Bentonite clay is a naturally occurring element, harvested from volcanic deposits, that is rich in minerals from the earth. Often, it’s used externally in face masks to help cleanse pores and in hair masks to help remove excess hair build up. It is also taken internally to help detox the body, as it’s negatively charged molecules are said to effectively bind to positively charged molecules of heavy minerals, and draw them out of the gut. However, because bentonite clay comes from the earth and has been exposed to soil contaminants, it has been found to have elevated levels of heavy minerals in it, especially lead. Exposure to lead, even in a small amount, can cause serious damage to the central nervous system, kidneys, and immune system. In children, chronic exposure to lead, even at low levels, is associated with cognitive impairment, reduced IQ, behavioral difficulties, and other problems. Once absorbed into the body, lead may be stored for long periods in mineralizing tissue, like teeth and bones, and the stored lead may be released again into the bloodstream.

On March 23, 2016, the FDA issued a consumer warning about the high levels of lead in a bentonite clay product, and urged anyone who used the product to see a medical professional immediately. While companies using bentonite clay have issued statements that their products are safe to use, there has been substantial controversy over how much lead is safe, and whether or not the type of lead used is bioavailable enough to be absorbed through the skin. Here’s what studies have been saying time and time again: even the smallest amount of lead exposure can cause significant damage, and even the smallest amount of lead exposure can be stored in the body for long periods of time. Are you willing to take that risk? Why not use a toothpaste without any of those concerns? Food grade hydrogen peroxide and essential oils are more than enough to keep your mouth clean, healthy, and worry free!
