Fluoride is a naturally occurring form of the very common element fluorine. It is found all over the place–in water, food, plants, soil, rocks and so forth. When your body takes in fluoride, it almost completely stored in your bones and teeth. But is added fluoride safe? Find out here...

The concentration of naturally occurring fluoride compounds vary considerably from area to area. This is important as many studies that have suggested fluoride could be bad for you (problems such as bone fracturing or carcinogenic properties) were often based upon evidence from geographical areas where the fluoride concentrations were higher than average. 

Could ordinary, everyday products help to inactivate and slow the transmission of human coronaviruses? Several scientific studies were carried out to research this possibility.

After 8 years of development, we think that we have perhaps created the best toothpaste you can buy for both cleaning power and for sensitivity relief.

Just as like our other products, this toothpaste was researched and developed by our renowned holistic dentist, Dr. Paul O'Malley. Our advanced formulation is designed to provide superior sensitivity relief and to naturally whiten your teeth.

Sensitive teeth can not only cause discomfort and pain but they are generally a sign of weakening enamel which opens the door to further tooth decay and other health issues.

The question of chewing sugary gums, or any kind of candy, has long since been answered as bad for your teeth. The sugars feed the cavity causing bacteria in your mouth, they produce lots of acid and this then destroys your teeth and encourages gum disease.

But how about non-sugar gums? Can they actually help in the fight against tooth decay?

It should be a pretty simple operation, just grab a pretty brush and start! But most people never learned the toothbrushing drill and make some common mistakes. These made not seem serious, after all it is just toothbrushing, but over time bad brushing can contribute to not only tooth decay but gum disease and recession as well.

Like many timeworn sayings, we often repeat these without really thinking about them. As kids, we all learned that apples=good health, but few of us, if any, ever investigated if that were true or not. Since our business and interests lie more with oral health, than overall health, let’s just say that the idea of eating more fresh fruits and veggies is generally a plus in terms of your health and well-being. But what about your oral health? Apples do contain quite a bit of natural sugars and even acids. How could they be good for your teeth?

It would seem logical that with all the care we give to our teeth today, that our ancestors should not have any teeth left at all. Right? So, it can seem perplexing that our ancient ancestors, talking cavemen here, rarely had any signs of tooth decay. The answer to this caveman riddle is simple, their diets were far simpler than ours and contained far fewer carbohydrates–with grains and sugars almost non-existent.
