Strawberry ice cream on a hot summer day sounds refreshing and delicious unless you are one of the 45 million Americans who have sensitive teeth.

If that’s you, you’re probably all too familiar with the searing pain shooting through your teeth like a lightning bolt, every time you take a sip of something cold or hot.

Dealing with sensitive teeth can turn the simple joys of eating and drinking into a painful ordeal. So, grab your favorite drink (not too hot or cold, though!), and let's dive into the world of tooth sensitivity and how you can fix it for good - at home and without a dentist!

Dentists have been stuck in an outdated paradigm for decades, telling us cavities can’t be healed without a filling, and gum recession can’t be fixed without surgery. But the truth is, conventional dental products and advice often do more harm than good, contributing to the very problems they’re supposed to solve.

From toothpaste loaded with fluoride - a proven neurotoxin! - to peroxide, SLS, and other harsh chemicals, these products strip your mouth of its natural defenses. Instead of promoting health, they leave you vulnerable to cavities, gum recession, and a host of other oral health issues.

But what if we told you that’s not the only option? Dentists might hate to admit it, but there’s a powerful, natural way to reverse gum recession and restore your oral health - no surgery required.

With 29.1 million Americans diagnosed with diabetes and an estimated 8.1 million more unaware of their condition, the impact of diabetes reaches far beyond elevated blood sugars. 

It turns out people with diabetes are more likely to have gum disease, cavities, and other problems with their teeth and gums. Let's delve into this important topic, exploring the link between diabetes and your dental health, and how you can know if you’re at risk and how to properly manage your dental health.

Flossing plays a crucial role in maintaining dental health. It not only clears away food particles and plaque from between your teeth but has also shown associations with preventing long-term health conditions.

But did you know that the dental floss you use could potentially contain harmful chemicals - otherwise known as PFAS or "forever chemicals" - which have been linked to heart disease and cancer?

PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, give your dental floss the smoothness that lets it that effortlessly glide through your teeth. But here's the catch - while they make your flossing experience a breeze, they might also be introducing a host of health risks.

They birthed us, fed us, put up with our tantrums, were always there when we needed them, and continue to love us unconditionally…. moms really are the best.

And while they deserve to be celebrated all year long, with Mother’s Day coming up, it’s a chance for us to show them how much they mean to us.

What does your mom really want on Mother’s Day? 

As a mom, I can tell you what I really want aside from time for myself and time with my family, and - truth be told - I want to feel pampered! 

Moms spend their lives taking care of others, which means we don’t spend a lot of time taking care of ourselves. Giving your mom something that will make her feel pampered, and leave her looking and feeling her best will be a gift that will last long past Mother’s Day.

Your mouth is a dirty place.  It is exposed to a crap-load of toxins every day. Even if you are brushing regularly, everything from the air you breathe to the food you eat, introduces new toxins to your mouth.

I call this "re-tox". The re-toxifying of your mouth everyday - simply just from everyday living!

And since you re-tox daily, you need to DETOX twice daily.

I know- you're busy and can't add "one more thing to your busy schedule"... don't worry!  This one is easy.  It's creating a quick but thorough detoxifying routine that’s easy to do - and just twice a day!

Taking care of your body is one of the best investments you can ever carry out. This consists of detoxing your body regularly, eating healthy meals, and using safe oral and skin products.

Fluoride is a flooding mineral found in our meals, water, and other products. If you make use of commercial toothpaste or drink tap water, there’s a high possibility that you’re exposing your body to fluoride. 

Fluoride has been hailed for its cavity-fighting powers by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the America Dental Association. However, according to a growing body of medical research, too much fluoride in your system poses many risks. Furthermore, fluoride doesn’t actually fight off cavities. Instead, it puts an outer coating on your teeth without fixing the core issue – a lack of mineralization. 

Studies show that fluoride’s negative effects include cognitive impairment, thyroid dysfunction, and many others we’ll explore in this article. So, yes, you need a fluoride detox. It doesn’t require any painful process or exhausting exercises.
