Taking care of your teeth, takes under 5 minutes a day. Making your teeth a priority takes minimal time with huge results. Make sure to read to the bottom as I link my favorite minerals I add to my water & some of my favorite enzymes. We like to use the floss picks. I can't say I'm the best flosser, but I've never had a cavity.  I do make sure I brush my teeth twice a day, get good bacteria, do my tongue cleaner, and swish with water or my made mouthwash daily. I have added some awesome tooth products on my Amazon store here.

Here are some DIY recipes that are awesome...

Toothpaste (makes 1/2 cup, shelf life 6-12 months at room temperature, up to a year in fridge)

3 TBS baking soda 

2 TBS xylitol 

2 TBS fractionated coconut oil 

1/4 tsp fine himalayan salt 

10 drops wintergreen essential oil 

5 drops clove essential oil 

1 drop peppermint essential oil or 1 drop tea tree essential oil

optional: 1 TBS calcium carbonate or bentonite clay 

optional: 3 drops vitamin E oil to extend shelf life 12-18 months

Stir evenly & store in an airtight glass container at room temperature away from heat or refrigerate. (For kids under 12, use spearmint oil). 

Mouthwash Recipes...don't use straight out of container as to avoid mold issues...pour into a cup to use. Store in an airtight dark glass bottle if possible. I put mine in a glass pint, quart jar, or a reusable glass mouthwash container.

Mouthwash Recipe #1 

2 Cups filtered water 

1 tsp baking soda 

1/2 tsp celtic or himalayan salt 

1 tsp birch derived xylitol 

1 TBS food grade aloe vera juice (inner fillet) 12 drops wintergreen, peppermint, cinnamon leaf, or spearmint essential oil (I love wintergreen) 

6 drops tea tree essential oil 

Store in glass container you can shake before each use. Use within 10-14 days stored in fridge & 3-5 days room temperature. To make it last longer, add 1-2 drops vitamin E oil. This will extend room temperature 1-2 months and fridge storage 3-6 months.

*Shake before each use

*Swish 1-2 TBS for 30-60 seconds once or twice a day

*Spit out and don't rinse with water afterward

Mouthwash Recipe #2

2 cups of purified water 

1/2 cup of colloidal silver 

12 drops of spearmint essential oil...food grade or essential oil of choice...wintergreen, peppermint, or cinnamon leaf

1-2 TBS birch derived Xylitol 

Mix completely & pour in clean glass bottles...shake before use. This one is good for 6-12 months stored in a dark glass bottle in fridge. Or good for 3-6 months at room temperature in dark glass bottle. 

If you want super simple & still effective, swish with some himalayan or celtic salt water.

**Always use spearmint oil for kids under 12**

Prezyme Pro (click on food & supplements) has been a life saver for me.  Not knowing better after my first pregnancy, I had my gallbladder & appendix removed. I wish I had them back. Not only are enzymes & pro & pre-biotics important for everyone, especially they are important when you don't have a gallbladder. These have been amazing for me, taking one twice a day when I eat...beyond amazing for my digestion and the comfort of my body when I eat now. Good bacteria is very important for your mouth health, but SO much more.  Here are the benefits...

Say bye-bye to your digestive issues!

• A unique, complete, plant-based GI tract supplement: prebiotics, probiotics, AND digestive enzymes. 

• 99.999% of probiotic strains are DEAD when they get to you — PreZyme Pro is always made in SMALL batches to ensure it arrives to you ALIVE!

• Contains the ONE thing needed to unlock the benefits of probiotics: prebiotics!

• Don’t eat 60%+ raw, plant-based foods at ALL meals? You need this product.

• Yes, you can give it to kids: cut the dose ¼ to ½ to start.  

• What’s in PreZyme Pro? 

• Probiotics — a proprietary blend of 15 strains of probiotics, with over 7 billion active organisms per capsule! Probiotics are the “good” or “friendly” bacteria in the GI tract. They’re vital to support the immune system, brain and mood function, and absorption of food and nutrients. They control inflammation, trigger hormone production, and remove waste.

• Prebiotics — prebiotics feed probiotics, increasing their number and optimizing their ability to do their work in the gut. Organic Yacon is the source for PreZyme Pro’s prebiotic, a fiber known as FOS or fructo-oligosaccharide. FOS is the perfect “food” for probiotics.

• Digestive Enzymes — each capsule includes 6 major digestive enzymes to support the digestion of the proteins, fats, and carbs in your diet. Enzymes break down these nutrients, so they can be better absorbed as they travel through your digestive tract. Basically, they aid digestion and help you gain more benefits from your food.

• Because trace minerals are needed as cofactors, or “triggers,” to activate enzymes, I added just enough  of those, too, to do the job.

• Also, the capsule is green due to the added chlorophyll.
  
  

• “You Are What You Eat” Is Not Necessarily True… 

• More accurately, you are what you’re able to absorb. 

• Optimal nutrient absorption depends on a healthy GI tract — at EVERY stage of digestion.

Ultimate Minerals...(click on food & supplements once you are on the website) These minerals are one of my top recommended supplements.

Getting Enough Minerals Will Have a HUGE Impact on Your Health!...and your teeth

About 95% of your body’s functions require minerals. Fulvic and humic acids are the most bioavailable (absorbable by your body) source of 75+ minerals needed, for every single reaction in the human body. 

And experts estimate that 90% of Americans suffer from a mineral imbalance. 

Minerals are necessary for: 

• • Improved IMMUNITY

  • Having enough ENERGY

  • DETOXing the body 

  • Healthy SKIN, hair, and nails 

  • More restful SLEEP

  • Improved memory and FOCUS

  • Reduced STRESS

  • And more!

Because of the strong cleansing functions of concentrated humic, we recommend starting at a lower dose (½ to 1 dropper pull morning and night, in water). And then, working up to the recommended amount (3 dropper pulls daily) as your body cleanses and rebalances itself with these powerful substances.

• • Green Smoothie Girl Ultimate Minerals comes in a 4 oz glass bottle with a dropper for convenient dosing in water — before bed, and as you wake up, in water, the perfect delivery system, at the exact times your body is lowest in minerals.

Be sure to take Ultimate Minerals by itself, with a buffer of 20 minutes before or afterward from food and supplements, because one of the features of fulvic acid is that it makes cells more permeable.
