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 BR Organic 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.

Dangerous Dentistry: Safe Removal For Mercury Fillings!

July 27, 2016 By Essential Oxygen

By: Jessica Davis-Thompson

In our last article, we addressed the dangers of mercury fillings and the importance of removing them. However, removing mercury fillings should be done only by an experienced dentist, who understands the careful detail it takes to safely remove amalgams. When someone is ready to take the step forward and begin the removal process, here are some steps their dentist should follow:

Prior to the procedure, the patient should be given a mixture of charcoal, chlorella, or similar adsorbent to rinse and swallow. An adsorbent is a substance that allows gas, liquid or solids in suspension to attach to its surface without itself undergoing a chemical change.
In order to protect the patient, and themselves, everyone in the procedure room should be wearing protective gowns and covers. The dental staff should be wearing hair/head covers, face covers, non-latex nitrile gloves, and either a positive pressure mask providing air or oxygen, or a respiratory grade mask rated to capture mercury. The patient should be fitted with a properly sealed dental dam made with non-latex nitrile material. The patient should also be wearing a full head/face/neck barrier under and around the dam, and a saliva ejector should be placed under the dental dam to reduce mercury exposure to the patient. In order to protect the patient from inhaling mercury vapors, an external source of air or oxygen should be provided. This can be done via a nasal mask, or a nasal cannula covered with a protective barrier.
The dental office should have a properly installed amalgam separator to collect mercury waste, so that the waste is not released into sewage. In addition, the procedure room should have an adequate filtration system in place capable of removing mercury vapor and amalgam particles.
During procedure, the amalgam should be sectioned into chunks and removed in as large of pieces as possible, using a small diameter carbide drill. The dental staff should make sure to utilize their filtration system no more than four inches from the patient’s mouth in order to prevent mercury exposure.
Dentists must comply with federal, state, and local regulations addressing the proper handling and cleaning/disposal of mercury-contaminated clothing, equipment, and surfaces in the dental office.
After the removal process is completed, the patient’s mouth should be thoroughly flushed with water and then rinsed with the same charcoal, chlorella, or similar adsorbent mixture thoroughly.

Even if a someone has the filling(s) removed, it does not mean that their mercury exposure ends there. It’s essential to undergo chelation therapy in order to ensure that the body is completely rid of the toxic element. Some natural mercury eliminating agents to use are: cilantro, chlorella, fresh garlic, selenium, vitamin c, and hyaluronic acid. Though the process seems challenging, even just starting with one mercury amalgam at a time, and beginning chelation therapy, can significantly improve your health!

Dangerous Dentistry: Mercury In Your Mouth Is Poisoning You!

According to the FDA, for over 150 years “silver fillings”, also known as amalgams, have been used in hundreds of millions of patients around the world. These fillings are nearly 50% Mercury in weight, an element known as one of the most toxic heavy metals to humans. Despite the potential danger, most dentists willingly choose mercury amalgams instead of safer alternatives due to the low cost and quick installation. Although the FDA still supports the use of these mercury fillings, studies have shown that they have a significant impact on the body over time.

Over time, mercury amalgams slowly release mercury vapor, and can make its way into the bloodstream. Once mercury is in the bloodstream, it can cause an oxidative processes on the body’s tissues, and oxidation in the body can lead to inflammation of the lining of blood vessels. This can cause the body to increase LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels in order to try and repair. LDL is a carrier of bad cholesterol, and a high level of bad cholesterol is never good. Exposure to mercury can not only cause immunological and endocrinological problems, but since it acts as a neurotoxin, it can greatly affect the body’s nervous system. The human body has 100 billion nerve cells (neurons) in the brain that make up the central communication/information network, and they require a great deal of energy and waste removal to function properly. This requires a significant amount of fuel and oxygen, and mercury can seriously impair these important and complex neurological processes. Studies have shown that mercury toxicity could potentially lead to neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

It’s hard to imagine that something so harmful can frequently be found in our mouth! Unfortunately, the FDA has issued no official ban on mercury, despite other countries like Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, and Japan working to eliminate it from dentistry practices. Don’t let your mouth, the 2nd most absorbent organ in the body that borders your brain and leads to internal organs through your bloodstream or ingestion be a storehouse for dangerous toxins. There are plenty of holistic and alternative dentists who can safely remove mercury fillings. It may seem like a daunting task to remove fillings financially and otherwise, but just get started on the process. Have one mercury filling removed every 6 months if necessary. Just do it!

Stay tuned to the Essential Oxygen blog and Facebook as we will be covering the critical elements for proper Mercury removal soon!

3 Ways to Reduce Dreaded Morning Mouth

March 16, 2015 By Mystica

We all know the feeling of waking up to an unpleasant taste/smell in our mouth. Morning mouth occurs because, while we sleep, a number of our body’s functions slow down including saliva production.

Saliva is very important because it cleanses our mouth and contains oxygen which eliminates anaerobic bacteria. So when our saliva is at a stand-still, bad-breath bacteria creeps in and makes itself comfortable on our teeth, tongue and cheeks.

What can you do about it? Good question! Here are 3 ways to reduce your morning mouth and start the day feeling fresh.

1. Drink water when you wake up.

Nothing stimulates saliva production faster than fluids. A sip of water gets your bodily functions moving again after hours of non-movement. This is also a great way to get your digestive system going!

2. Avoid eating after brushing.

At night, the last thing you should do before bed is floss and rinse with your Organic Brushing Rinse. Consuming food after cleansing gives bacteria something to hold on to and encourages bad breath.

3. When you wake up, immediately gargle with our Organic Brushing Rinse.

Because our bodies have been cleaning and saliva is not circulating all night, our bacteria counts are extremely high when we wake up. It’s best to spit them out and gargle right away to avoid re-ingesting the bacteria. This will also boost your immune system!

Follow these simple steps and you will be on your way to feeling fresh and full of energy in the morning. Now that’s a great way to start the day!

Toxin Free for You and Me

March 9, 2015 By Mystica

One of the last things you want in your mouth are toxins. Especially in a product that is meant to cleanse and fortify your teeth and gums like toothpaste and mouthwash. Unfortunately, most of the products on the market today host a plethora of different toxins and disguise them under scary names.

Here is a little toxin cheat sheet so that you know what to avoid when looking for products:

Bleach

Bleach contains chlorine. It is a highly reactive substance, meaning that it readily combines with other elements. When it is isolated and freed from its chemical bonds, it becomes a toxic gas.

Many products that you may not expect do contain bleach and, therefore, chlorine. We all know that chlorine is commonly used to disinfect pool water and neutralize bacteria and germs. We certainly don’t want that anywhere near our bodies!

Glycerin

According to Gerard F. Judd, PH.D, Researcher and Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, teeth are able to re-enamel themselves by drawing minerals from food.

This process is hindered when glycerin is used in oral products. Glycerin creates a barrier on the tooth and keeps it from rejuvenating its enamel. Almost all the ‘healthy’ toothpastes contain Glycerin as a primary ingredient.

Heavy Metals

The difference between food grade hydrogen peroxide and cosmetic or industrial grade that is found in brown bottles at grocery and drug stores, is that the food grade doesn’t have the harmful stabilizers found in the brown bottle varieties.

The stabilizers made of chemicals like tetra sodium phosphate, sodium stagnate, acetanilide and phenol contain significant quantities of toxic heavy metals. Most toothpastes and mouthwashes use the non-food grade variety of peroxide.

Alcohol

Alcohol is used to cleanse wounds and disinfect surfaces. It is also responsible for drying out your mouth and making it difficult for your saliva glands to wash away bacteria.

This can lead to bad breath and buildup. It’s ok to have a glass of wine, but keep alcohol away from your oral care products!

Don’t worry, it’s not all scary! Our Brush Rinse and Food-Grade Hydrogen Peroxide are all-natural and completely toxin free. You can swish happy!

Fresh Breath S.O.S.

March 2, 2015 By Mystica

You talk to people everyday. At the grocery store, over coffee and flipping through files at work. It’s awfully hard to speak with confidence when you are worrying about your breath!

The American Dental Hygienist Association says that nearly 40 million Americans commonly suffer from bad breath, also known as oral malodor or halitosis.

A few fresh breath sabotagers are:

Food and Drink
Smoking / Chewing Tobacco
Poor Digestion
Plaque Buildup
Select Medications
Poor Dental Hygiene

Don’t worry! While there are many culprits for less-than-fresh breath, there are also simple and inexpensive ways to eliminate it.

Many ‘solutions’ like mouthwash and toothpastes mask bad breath with sweeteners and chemicals. This does not solve the problem, it just covers it up for a little while.

Essential Oxygen Brush Rinse naturally cleans teeth and freshens breath using a potent mix of natural ingredients that won’t scare you to put in your mouth.

Our Brush Rinse also fights common breath busters like plaque and tarter buildup to ensure that your mouth is squeaky clean and feeling fresh.

Ready to put it to the test? Try swishing our Brush Rinse in your mouth for a few seconds before a meeting or date. But, be careful… you’ll smell so good that the person you’re talking to just might try to lean over and kiss you!

Finally, Organic Toothpaste!
