It’s funny how we can go our whole lives using some products without thinking about how they’re made or what impact they have on our health, the earth and animals. Even as aware as I am of issues like this, it didn’t occur to me until this past year that my generic toothpaste was probably loaded with chemicals and tested on animals. Which, no surprise, it was. Therefore, it’s been on my radar that perhaps it’s time to switch up my dental care routine. So, you can imagine my excitement when I came across Well Scent, a holistic, wildcrafted, organic, doctor supported, modern day apothecary, that has a line of all natural daily dental care products and even an all natural teeth whitener.
I am always wanting to keep my teeth as pearly white as possible, so I used to bleach them a lot. But this year it became clear to me that mainstream tooth whiteners can’t be good for us, with all the zinging and shooting pain it creates in our teeth. And it definitely can’t be good for the animals who are forced to consume large portions of it to see how it’ll affect us humans if we use too much. So I was thrilled to try out Well Scent’s whitener and even more thrilled when I found out that the main ingredient is my newest obsession…activated charcoal! As I’ve mentioned on here before, activated charcoal is one of my favorite natural secrets for clear skin and a healthy body. Just as the charcoal draws toxins out of our skin and toxins out of our bodies, it draws toxins out of our mouths and eliminates plaque and discoloration from our teeth as well.
I’ve been using Well Scent’s Sparkle: Natural Dental Whitener and I love the results. Sparkle is antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and antiseptic. It gives a natural, brightened, cleaner look to teeth. It’s not as intense as a bleach but it definitely gives results. And the more you use it, the better your teeth will look. It says on the instructions that the charcoal powder is messy and they are not joking! So be mindful of what you’re doing when using the black charcoal powder, so you don’t get it everywhere like I did the first time I used it. 🙂
I’ve also been using Well Scent’s Watch Your Mouth: Extreme Clean Toothpaste Replacement and Mouthwash, instead of toothpaste. And I’m totally sold. In using Watch Your Mouth it’s so clear that we don’t need regular, commercial toothpaste. This stuff really works. It leaves my mouth feeling so minty, clean and refreshed. The Watch Your Mouth toothpaste replacement is said to be hundreds of times stronger than toothpaste, while still being gentle and well tolerated. And it is supposed to be great for oil pulling, if you’re into that. Just add a few drops to your coconut oil and you’ve made your oil pulling routine even more powerful and effective.
And while Watch Your Mouth can be used alone, I have been using it with the Shine: Remineralizing Brightener and Polish. It helps inhibit the bacteria associated with gingivitis, bad breath and inflammation, while leaving you with a bright, shiny smile. The Shine polish has salt in it so it can be a surprising taste the first time you use it but within a couple of weeks you will adapt to the taste and the saltiness won’t even phase you.
And in addition to their dental health line, Well Scent sells essential oils for health and wellness, emotional support, body care and skincare. If you’re ready to make the switch to all natural, healthier, cruelty-free dental care, I highly recommend Well Scent!
