Quick Overview Exfoliating and brightening: Miracle Salt™, Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, Arrowroot and MSM. On a dry brush, add a pinch of powder with a tiny drop of Neem Enamelizer and if desired a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum, or Healthy Gum Drops. Tip: Really great on a dry round-head electrical tooth brush Baking Soda, Sodium bicarbonate, commonly known as baking soda, or bicarbonate of soda, is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and found dissolved in numerous mineral springs. Among other metabolic functions, bicarbonate in saliva buffers and neutralizes plaque acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity. Baking soda has been used as a tooth paste for centuries and is often combined with sea salt. Recommended by Dr. Hulda Clark, dentist Robert Nara, and Edgar Cayce as an effective tooth polish. Dr. Paul H. Keyes D.D.S., clinical investigator at the National Institute of Dental Research, advised regular brushing with salt and/or baking soda, as it prevents all destructive periodontal (gum) disease. Dr. Keyes states “Over the years when I was lecturing, I asked thousands of dentists and hygienists to raise their hands if they had ever seen destructive periodontal disease in person[s] who had regularly brushed with salt and/or [baking] soda. I have never seen a hand! And although I have not seen many such cases, the periodontal health in these patients has always been excellent”. Use : Place a pinch on a dry toothbrush along with a tiny drop of Neem Enamelizer. You can also add a drop of Yogi Tooth Serum or Healthy Gum Drops for an extra burst of fresh, plant power. For an even more invigorating impact, use Tooth Truth Powder with a dry round-head electrical toothbrush. Safe to use every day. Organic Ingredients: Sodium chloride (Sea Salt), Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, Maranta arundinacea (Arrowroot), and MSM. Sea Salt (Sodium chloride) - Purified sea salt is rich in trace minerals. Sea salt is historically known to soothe gums and alkalinize saliva for a happy oral environment. Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) - Teeth thrive when they are bathed in a sea of sweet saliva, and baking soda buffers and neutralizes food acids. In addition to being an effective cleaning polish, baking soda is gentle. It has significantly lower abrasiveness than the cleaning agents of chalk and silica that are used in commercial toothpastes, and the baking soda’s natural alkalinity neutralizes bacterial acidity. Magnesium Bicarbonate - This naturally occurring compound has been historically used to prevent deposits on the teeth. It is also said to help eliminate plaque while brushing, and it whitens the teeth. Arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) - Arrowroot is traditionally used to alkalinize saliva as a natural tooth polish. MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) – MSM is a biologically-active organic compound that is a source of sulfur. This naturally occurring sulfur is found in nature and all living organisms. It is a critical nutrient for the human body. Review(s) pearly whites This is the best tooth polish I've ever used. I use this along with all the Living Libations dentistry products, which are phenomenal. I feel like I have the cleanest whitest teeth in the world. Based on the compliments I've gotten from my dentist, it might be true :)

Quick Overview Our Wild Child Healthy Gum Drops formula is a milder, gentler version of our Healthy Gum Drops for children. Organic ingredients of seabuckthorn berry, jojoba, peppermint, rose, clove cinnamon, oregano, tea tree and thyme linalool to deeply clean and get in between each tooth. Add a drop to toothbrush, mouth rinse, massage into gums, or glide a drop over dental floss to cleanse the tiny spaces in between the teeth. Created for Children under 9 yearsMilder version of our effective Healthy Gum Drops formulaTested and Approved by Leif (at 2 years!) Nadine wrote this blog for Mothering.com on the Subject of Oral Care and Children: Sometimes, helping children to brush their teeth, or getting children to brush their own teeth, is like herding cats and, when children do brush their teeth, even when they are teenagers, do they do a thorough job? Is their brushing effective? In ancient times, children very rarely had cavities. Today, however, one of the biggest health concerns affecting little ones more than any other in North America and Europe is dental decay, ECC (Early Childhood Caries). Is it because dentists are giving out lollipops? (http://mothering.com/health/does-coke-money-corrupt-kids-dentistry) Did the ancients have advanced civilizations that cracked the code on toothpaste? Or, is it because breastfeeding fades in and out of popularity while processed formula proliferates? When your child closes her mouth against the toothbrush, while you cheerfully chant “If you get up in the morning… and you want to find something to do, you brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch” by Raffi, know, (that your dentist may not say so), but brushing isn’t everything. Dr. Weston Price (President of the America Dental Association from 1888-89) studied primitive skulls and traveled the world studying the teeth of cultures that ate only their traditional foods; cultures in which a cavity would be found in one in a thousand people. Cultures that had moved away from their nutrient-dense food and were plagued by white flour and white sugar had rotted teeth. Decay of tooth enamel is not only from food stuck in it. Dental decay occurs in two ways: internal and external. External factors are food in the mouth, acidity, bacteria, how the teeth fit together, and exercise. External factors play a role, but they are not the initiating factors in oral decay. Teeth are alive! They can regenerate, and this is why internal factors that nourish the teeth are so important. Real foods, hormonal balance, minerals, and the fluid exchange through the teeth are key. When the teeth are healthy, they are like trees, drawing their nourishment from the roots and the blood and digestive system are the soil. Nourishing fluid moves from the pulp chamber through to the dentin. Stress, processed food, and inadequate nutrition reverse this precious flow and the tooth starts to draw bacteria and acids from the mouth into the tooth. Teeth start forming inside the womb, and pre-natal nutrition with a healthy dose of fat soluble vitamins, minerals, and whole foods starts the process of building strong teeth. Around 2-3 years of age, the permanent teeth are forming/calcifying into the jawbone and, if there is a nutritional deficiency of minerals and vitamin C, D3, K2 and A at this time, teeth are formed that are less resistant to decay. This also means that breastfeeding mothers need to be abundant in whole nutrition as well. As teeth start to come in, wipe the teeth with a cloth dipped in salt water. This will help clear plaque and neutralize acids. Teach children to swish with salt water and spit it out, which will do most of the work. Later, brushing can begin using salt, baking soda or xylitol powder (from a health store). If a carie lesion begins, this does not necessarily mean a permanent cavity is inevitable. Know that the teeth are alive and brown enamel lesions could be reversed. When there is a carie lesion the salvia starts on the area to balance the decay, and the dentin inside your tooth will shot forth odontoblasts which regenerate new cells to the area. If this happens keep the tooth clean and look into the diet. Healthy Teeth Tips· Avoid bonding molars on the cavities (this traps bacteria in the tooth)· Offer zero processed food· In the beginning, stick to breastmilk and water· Floss when the teeth start getting close together· Avoid Fluoride water and treatments · Phosphorus and vitamin C help ease teething· Breastfeeding is not the cause of cavities· Soak all grains and beans overnight before cooking to get rid of phytic acid· Avoid all commercial toothpastes (toxic) – stick to the basics: salt, baking soda, and xylitol Review(s) Yay to Brushing Time I just want to share a quick story... I have 2 1/2 year old twins. We struggle with them a bit regarding them allowing us to brush their teeth. Yesterday, they were sitting on my lap watching a video on YouTube of Nadine regarding healthy teeth. In the video, Nadine is wearing a pink dress. Since then my kids say at different times throughout the day, "Where did the pink lady go?" And my son will say, "I want to hug her!" When I want to brush their teeth now, I refer to the "pink lady" and they say "yay!" So to Nadine I say,"Thank you!" Not only do I love the products and feel so good about using them, my kids are more open to thee to brushing! My 6 year old loves this! My 6 year old Finn is really loving the Wild Child Healthy Gum Drops! He says he doesn't like toothpaste anymore! my child really doesn't like brushing her teeth.... but after trying this product for the first time tonite, she said she would brush her teeth whenever. So, I hope it is true. I am really hoping that this will help her teeth as the enamal has really come off of her teeth. She is only 4 and we eat super healthy-- but i think its the grains that must get to her teeth. Either way, I am really hoping that this is the answer that I need to help fix her teeth Thank-you My son started using the kids Gum drops. he had a "watch" on one of his teeth from a previous dentist visit and I couldn't believe that the dentist could not hardly find it at his last visit a few days ago and said everything looked great! Thank you Nadine! We will continue trying to heal our teeth with your products. Great Find I put a drop of the Wild Child drops on her toothbrush and brushed her teeth. She said that she "Liked it so much she wanted to have invisaligns so she could put a drop in and wear it all day." She went and showed her Dad her beautiful teeth. :) she is always trying to get out of brushing her teeth.. so this is a great find. (She's five.) :) My 5 year old LOVES this!

A comprehensive guide to natural, do-it-yourself oral care, Holistic Dental Care introduces simple, at-home dental procedures that anyone can do. Highlighted with fifty-three full-color photos and illustrations, this book offers dental self-care strategies and practices that get to the core of the problems in our mouths--preventing issues from taking root and gently restoring dental health. Based on a "whole body approach" to oral care, Holistic Dental Care addresses the limits of the traditional approach that treats only the symptoms and not the source of body imbalances. Taking readers on a tour of the ecology of the mouth, dental health expert and author Nadine Artemis describes the physiology of the teeth and the sources of bacteria and decay. Revealing the truth about the artificial chemicals in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, Artemis also discusses the harmful effects of mercury fillings and the much safer ceramic filling options that are available. Covering topics that include healthy nutrition, oral care for children, and the benefits of botanical substances and plant extracts for maintaining oral health, Artemis introduces a comprehensive eight-step self-dentistry protocol that offers an effective way to prevent decay, illness, acidic saliva, plaque build-up, gum bleeding, inflammation, and more. About the Author Author and health expert NADINE ARTEMIS is the creator of Living Libations, an exquisite line of natural serums, elixirs, and essentials oils. She is a frequent commentator on health and beauty for media outlets and her products have received rave reviews in The New York Times, The National Post, and The Hollywood Reporter. Described by Alanis Morissette as "a true-sense visionary," Artemis has formulated a stunning collection of rare and special botanical compounds, including her dental serums developed after treating a cavity with plant extracts. "Nadine Artemis's well-balanced, well-researched book credibly encourages readers to take control of their own dental health. Plenty to chew on in this stimulating dental compendium." —Kirkus Reviews“Achieving optimal oral health cannot be done exclusively in the dental office; oral hygiene and nutrition are key to preventing major dental work and the consequences it can have on the body. I have helped people at a professional level for thirty years and it is clear that we must give people tools to help themselves at home, for their everyday care. This book helps the dental profession and makes dental care more accessible.” —Lina Garcia, DDS, DMD“Nadine Artemis brings great clarity and insight to the mouth-body connection. Holistic Dental Care is filled with pearls of wisdom that make a difference.”—Stuart M. Nunnally, DDS

Quick Overview Yogi Tooth Serum is a potent combination of organic neem, cinnamon, clove, mastic, cayenne and cardamom keep your mouth extremely fresh and clean. These ancient Vedic botanicals, are the yogi secret anti-bacterial, anti-viral anti-fungal agents for oral care. Neem alkalizes the gums and mouth. Neem is arista in Sanskrit, a word that means: perfect, complete and imperishable. Neem has been used in India and other Southeast Asian countries for thousands of years in agriculture, food storage, and as a cure-all. Many research studies show that Neem is, fungicidal and antibacterial. Add one drop to toothbrush, and mouth rinse. This serum may also be massaged into gums, and always glide a drop over dental floss to cleanse those tiny spaces in between the teeth. Yogi Tooth Serum is excellent to use with our Neem Enamelizer and Truth Tooth Polish. Genuine essential oils address the circumstances that lead to a compromised immune system, including unwanted bacteria, viral loads, chronic inflammation, and a congested lymph system. The use of genuine essential oils originated as a medical therapy based on the pharmacological benefits of essential plant extracts. Essential oils and supercritical extracts are the key to our Living Libations formulas. They are highly concentrated, and with some of our botanicals, a whole plant is required to create only one drop of oil. The distinctive lipid-soluble structure of essential oils allow them to penetrate the lipid matrix of the gums and benefit the immune system. They send nutrients to the blood vessels and molecules, and reach the dentine, nerves, and roots of the teeth. They get the circulation and the lymph system going. Elements such as mastic in the Yogi Tooth Serum help to regenerate gum tissue. Essential oils are also potent in oxygen radical absorption capacity, or ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), and have been found to be among some of the most powerful antioxidants. Clove and cinnamon are very high in ORAC capability, and have impressive properties for eliminating bacteria. In addition to which the mosaic effect of the combined botanicals creates an effect of thousands of plant compounds. Some plant compounds will reduce inflammation, while others will have an antibacterial effect, and others an antiseptic one. Many essential oils combine all of these compounds. Essential oils are extremely potent, often hundreds of times stronger than the herbal extraction of the same plant. Each oil has hundreds of botanical chemical components that work synergistically. Genuine distillations of plants, flowers, seeds, roots, and trees have been used medicinally for centuries. Each one of the botanical species in these formulas is carefully selected by Nadine Artemis for their individual and synergistic effects that improve and maintain gum and oral health. The combination of antiseptic, astringent, circulatory and analgesic botanicals create optimal molecular activity. Yogi Tooth Serum is made potent extracts of organic neem, cinnamon, clove, cayenne, mastic, and cardamom to provide oral care support. This combination of ancient Vedic botanicals, Yogi Tooth Serum, is the yogi secret of anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal oral care. Cayenne, Capsicum frutescens. Ours is a super-critical extract with catalytic, antibacterial, antiseptic, and stimulating properties. The capsaicin compound in cayenne is also a topical vasodilator which stimulates blood circulation. Cardamom, Elettaria cardamomum, is an essential oil that stimulates and tones the digestive tract and has antiseptic properties that stimulate the phagocytic cellular action of the immune system. It is also supportive of the nervous system and helps supplement healthy oral care with its anti-infectious, antibacterial actions. Cinnamon, Cinnamomum ceylanicum. Our true cinnamon bark essential oil from Madagascar is antiseptic and antibacterial. It stimulates blood circulation to the gums and promotes their health and regeneration. Cinnamon is high in the compounds eugenol and cineol, both of which have potent anesthetic and antiseptic properties that increase the production of white blood cells. According to the work of Drs Franchomme and Pènoel, cinnamon bark oil is effective against 98% of all pathogenic bacteria.[1] Clove Bud, Eugenia carophyllata, is an analgesic essential oil from the flowering buds of the clove tree with an extremely high ORAC. Clove has relieved toothaches and freshened breath since ancient times. A potent antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal, clove boosts the immune system and stimulates blood flow with its botanical constituents of eugenol, esters, and sesquiterpenes, all of which combine to create an essence with an impressive action against pathogens and microbes. “It is antiparasitic and helps gum infections, toothaches and tonsillitis.”[2] Mastic, Pistacia lentiscus, is a type of resin similar to frankincense which comes from the inner sap of the mastic tree and is helpful for maintaining the connective tissue in the oral area. It has a long history of oral care use in ancient Greece and is very good in helping to remove tooth plaque. Mastic contains antioxidants, antifungal, and antibacterial benefits. The major antibacterial components of mastic oil are: ?-Pinene, verbenone, ?-terpineol, linalool, ?-myrcene, ?-pinene, limonene, and ?-caryophyllene[3]. Like all essential oils, the antibacterial efficacy of mastic oil is due to all of its components working synergistically. This resin extract is a potent antiseptic, which inhibits oral bacteria including Helicobacter pylori that creates stomach ulcers. Mastic oil helps to harness the activity of the blood's first-line-of-defense protection: the leukocytes (white blood cells) and the multinucleocytes. This helps to increase the tissue’s defense, especially between the teeth and gums, where gingivitis and plaque occur. Neem, Azadiracta indica, has pain-relieving compounds that can reduce the discomfort of a toothache. The vasodilatation and anti-inflammatory compounds in neem prevent cell adhesion and kill the bacteria that cause tooth decay. Neem alkalizes the gums and mouth, and kills the bacteria that cause Pyorrhea and Gingivitis. Neem obliterates the calcium-forming organisms and the organisms that cause cavities. Neem is 'arista,' which in Sanskrit means “perfect, complete, and imperishable.” Neem has been used in Ayurvedic traditions for thousands of years in agriculture, food storage, and medicine. Many research studies prove that neem is fungicidal, miticidal, and antibacterial. Neem oil is an ideal remedy to eliminate periodontal and tooth infection. It can be applied locally around the teeth and gums and also benefits the gastrointestinal tract. Essential oils in their unique nature are all antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral to varying degrees. In the book Beyond Antibiotics, Michael Schmidt devotes an entire chapter to the antimicrobial efficacy of essential oils, and states, “One of the advantages essential oils have over antibiotics is that bacteria do not develop resistance to essential oils. Many essential oils exert their antibacterial effect by interfering with the bacteria’s ability to breathe. On the other hand, antibiotics interfere with the life cycle, or metabolism of, bacteria, but since bacteria are very crafty creatures, they change their chemistry and genes, which makes the antibiotic less effective the next time it is used. As a result, new generations of antibiotics will need to be developed to stay ahead of these organisms. Additionally says Schmidt, “another advantage to essential oils is that some actually stimulate immune function.” The botanical serums created for the Successful Self-Dentistry protocol are Healthy Gum Drops and Yogi Tooth Serum. Many people have asked us, “What is the difference between the two and which should I use?” The answer is that they have the same effect and the same excellent results, yet they contain different synergies of botanicals. All the ingredients are active and all the ingredients are antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral, meaning they can remove unwanted oral bacteria, revivify gum tissue, and enhance the immune system. Yogi Tooth Serum and Healthy Gum Drops achieve the same results with different botanical selections. They maximize the health of one’s oral ecology by both rejuvenating the gum tissue and increasing blood circulation to the gums and blood vessels of the mouth. The Healthy Gum Dr ps is fresh and minty tasting. The powerful bitters of neem in Yogi Tooth Serum take some people a little getting used to (although the cinnamon and cardamom in the product do help make the neem palatable). That being said, there is no need to get both, although some choose both for variety and alternate between the two. Both serums are great for flossing, brushing, and for keeping gums healthy, which is a major key to oral health. Both formulas are also effective on a deeper level and, while they work wonders at cleaning the teeth and nourishing the gum tissue, they are also beneficial to digestion and the stomach. So, even if you are only focusing on the teeth and gums, the botanicals in these serums are part of an integrated, harmonious system that can also benefit your whole body. People sometimes ask if it is okay if they happen to swallow any of the oral care serums. The short answer is yes, in the “drop” quantities in which they are used. Essential oils are potent and it is often advised they not be taken internally in any quantity. This is true if the oils are not a genuine authentic distillation. However, when pure distillations of essential oils are taken in small quantities (i.e. by the drop), most are fine (and often beneficial) for internal use. In fact, many essential oils are used by the food and flavor industries. Orange juice is often flavoured with essential oil from oranges, Earl Grey Tea is flavoured with essential oil distilled from bergamot, and many liqueurs, confectionaries, chocolates, and flavour extracts use various essential oils. Essential oils are lipid soluble and, because they have a small molecular size, are able to penetrate the dermal layer of the skin, positively affecting the body through the lymphatic vessels, capillaries, cells, and nerve endings located there. What Goes on the Skin Goes InAside from being cautious about what and how much is ingested by swallowing, it is significant to know that everything that is applied to the body, including essential oils, or the manufactured chemicals of perfumes, toothpaste, and synthetic lotions, are also absorbed into the bloodstream, cells, and organs whenever they are applied to the skin, and often to a higher degree than by eating and digesting something. This rate of absorption is even higher inside the mouth and its moist tissues where the skin wall, or epithelium, is only one cell thick. This is especially true if one has bleeding gums where anything in the mouth will have direct access to the bloodstream. We would not want to put anything in, on, or around the body that could not be swallowed. With ingredients, discernment is important. How these products are different than regular toothpaste and actually nourish the oral ecology:Mouth Math: acid + bacteria = inflammation = plaque = tartar = bleeding = sensitivity = decay = receding gums = exposed dentin = decay = lower immunity for overall health. The middle of the tooth is a pulp cavity and it contains nerve endings and blood vessels. Teeth are "alive" similar to the crystalline calcium make up of coral reefs. The mouth's salvia acts like an oceanic sea of alkalinity. Acidity strips the teeth of enamel making the teeth more vulnerable to bacteria. Unhealthy bacteria are the cause gingivitis, inflammation, periodontitis and decay. Under the gum line is cementum. Cementum keeps the tooth attached to gums and jaw bone held with collagen fibers. These deeply penetrating formulas containing amazing lipophilic properties that facilitate diffusion through the epithelium nourish the cells by promoting circulation to the gum tissue, dentin and blood vessels within our teeth. “Minty fresh” is a marketing promise we all know. Common toothpaste feels refreshing because it contains synthetic mint (menthol) or other flavor by-products such as cinnamon (cinnamaldehyde). These are not the real plant essences; they are synthetic derivatives. Foaming chemicals in your mouth while you are brushing your teeth do not create optimal oral ecology. Regular toothpaste gives an illusion of freshness, yet it does not really remove plaque, it is the brushing that does that. It is best to be minimalist about it and use a dry toothbrush with a dab of salt, baking soda, or a Tooth Serum. The chemicals used in commercial toothpaste, including many of the brands sold in health food stores, include chemicals that you do not want in your mouth, such as glycerin, which coats the teeth and blocks the saliva from doing its primary job of re-mineralizing the enamel. You will also find calcium carbonate, which is essentially chalk that is not at all good for teeth. Also, what paste would be complete without the detergent and surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate, which makes toothpaste foamy? This known toxin breaks down your skin's natural barrier, easily penetrates skin, causing bleeding gums, and allows other chemicals to penetrate by increasing skin permeability approximately 100-fold. Additionally, when combined with other chemicals, it transforms into toxin nitrates and can reside in the body for five days. Some toothpastes contain propylene glycol, also known as anti-freeze, which is not to be handled without gloves in a lab. Then there’s the FD&C color pigments (including coal tar derivatives that contain heavy metals and accumulate in the body), formaldehyde, Triclosan (a registered pesticide and bio-persistent chemical that destroys fragile aquatic ecosystems), artificial sweeteners, and synthetic isopropyl alcohol. You may also be surprised to learn that ethanol is the primary ingredient in most mouthwashes, even though it is known to cause approximately 36,000 cases of oral disease a year! How is it possible that toxins could help keep your mouth healthy? Yet when people find that they have breath or gum problems, one of the first things they do is go out and get a new brand of toothpaste and a big bottle of ethanol-based mouthwash. Healthy gums provide a natural barrier against the 400-plus microorganisms entering the circulatory system. The epithelium (the very thin skin inside your mouth) is only one cell thick and is designed to keep toxins, bacteria, and infection from entering the body. The soft oral tissues are great at absorbing whatever comes into contact them, with approximately 90% absorption efficiency, the tiniest break or cut in the epithelium (bleeding gums) allows toxins and bacteria to enter the bloodstream quite quickly. Many Uses:*These concentrates (water and alcohol free) can be added to salt-water for an excellent mouthwash.*One drop added to a dry tooth brush (good-bye toothpaste)*One drop added to a dry toothbrush and then dipped in (aluminum-free) baking soda, or salt.*Massaged into gums, especially areas where the pockets are low and the dentin is exposed.*One drop to proxa-brushes, sulca-brushes and rubber-tip stimulators*One drop on tongue-scrappers*One drop on tongue through the day for fresh breath*One drop gargled in water for sore throats*One drop on cankers sores; herpes lesions*Apply one drop several times a day to any oral wound, laceration, incision to ease pain, *reduce inflammation, keep the incision clean and generate new cells.*One drop to your string of floss, getting the Gum drops between each and every single tooth is very effective. Side Benefits:*Diminished cancer sores*Eases herpes*Boosts immune systems and sinuses*Soothes sore throats*Keeps toothbrush clean Review(s) Yogi Tooth Serum = great alternative to mints!!! In addition to being a great tooth serum to keep whole mouth clean and gleaming, I have to add that it is also a FANTASTIC breath freshener to put in mouth, just a drop or two on its own. Important meeting or date? Why not try this... Won't need to pop a mint any more! Living Libations is so pure, I adore exploring to get creative uses out of their products :) Yogi Tooth Serum = great mint alternative too!!! Woo hoo! Excellent cinnamon tooth serum!! Oh how I love the cinnamon in this tooth serum!!! I have used conventional toothpastes with cinnamon in the past, and needless to say, I recall the artificial taste off them right away (a revelation that comes after only tasting the pure and true Living Libations). ALL of the ingredients in this are deep, just as a yogi is. Reminds me of a cozy fireplace, a Christmas delight, a spiritual mass/church gathering deep in prayer, connecting to the divine. It tastes deep, but exciting; soothes at night and kickstarts the morning energetically too - stimulating through the mouth it affects the mood it feels, just from the wonderful taste! Keeps breath fresh for a long time. This also had my teeth go whiter I noticed :) Thumbs up! LOVE the way my teeth feel I've been using your dental care products for about three weeks now (LOVE the way my teeth feel!) and today I went to the dentist for a cleaning. The whole appointment took about 15 minutes. The hygienist told me that my teeth were so clean that I had left her nothing to work on - lol! Thank you! The Deep Rinse The Yogi Tooth serum is for that genuine deep cleansing. Yogi Tooth Serum is the strongest product in this line. It has a taste that is more 'green', earthy, bitter and spicy than the other tooth serums (which have a more sweet fresh scent). This will really clean down to the very roots! - and you can feel it. I think it's great to have two entirely different tooth serums to choose between, as they both have their specific qualities. I especially liked this serum during the wintertime... What!?!?!? Yogi Tooth Serum makes me scream! I've been using the whole dental kit including Healthy Gum Drops for about a year: all the while thinking they are superior to any other dental products I've ever used. It wasn't until just now I tried the Yogi Tooth Serum. I'm completely shocked. The moment I finished brushing, I ran to the computer to write a review. It's so good, and I like it so much better than the HGD, and for the minuscule price increase, it is an exponential improvement on an already amazing product. Thanks Nadine. You're the best! On a high level of it's own I LOVE this tooth serum. I no longer use any toothpaste/powder or oils from anywhere else, The Yogi Tooth Serum is in a very high class of it's own. I love it and look forward to cleaning my mouth everyday :) Good but strongly medicinal I like healthy gum drops better but this is a good product. It's a little bit strong and medicinal. It takes some getting used to. Healthy gum drops has a better flavor but both leave your mouth feeling clean and refreshed. Breath smells good for hours. Powerful I forgot how potent the Yogi Tooth Serum is. That stuff is amazing. I have been thinking about how it serves a double purpose - first it cleans out the mouth and then it goes down into the stomach and cleans that out too. Potent Both Tooth Serums are excellent! I can't get over how powerful the combination of neem oil with mastic, cinnamon and clove is and how virulent it is in terms of eliminating bad bacteria. Right After the Dentist Clean Feel I just wanted to take time to thank you for creating, and sharing, your Yogi Tooth Serum and Healthy Gums oil. I used them for the first time a few days ago and was instantly hooked! I had that right after the dentist clean feel without the danger or expense of an actual dental visit. I will never, ever, use toothpaste or gel again! You are a wonderful light sent to heal the earth! Impressed I have recently tried your Yogi Teeth products and am very impressed. SO Clean & Fresh I received the Yogi Tooth Serum last night along with the ChocolateKarat Serum. I tried them both and my teeth felt SO clean and fresh... And my face so moisturized and relaxed. Your Stuff is AMAZING!!! Holy Wow, Nadine, your stuff is AMAZING!!!! I’m just putting one drop of the yogi tooth serum on my tooth brush and my teeth feel so clean. I don’t think I’ll ever buy toothpaste again! Spicy,warm,pure,natural, potent and effctive! Thank you so much Nadine for this amazing creation, I will never go back to icky toothpaste. I wanted to wait about a week before i reviewed this product but I just couldnt wait. Results are instant, my mouth feels amazing some plaque has already been removed from the bottom front teeth, I got this amzing spicy warm sensation in my mouth and could just really feel it work! I am trying the healthy gum drops tonight with some floss and I just cant wait! :) Life Changing Products I recently ordered your tooth serum and gum drops - life changing products! And, I have listened to your tooth talks, fabulous too! I Love It! I met Nadine and Ron at David Wolfe's Longevity Conference and tried the Yogi Tooth Serum and Gum Drops after Nadine's amazing talk. I have a receding gum line and the serum and drops have really helped with the nerve sensitivity. My mouth feels so clean and fresh, I love it. I should also say that when I first heard a talk that Nadine gave, I bought essential oils at my local health food store. Once I tried Living Libations, the quality was a night and day difference. While they are more expensive, a small drop goes a long way. And, I also must say that Nadine and Ron are both really beautiful people. Physically they radiate health but they were also so warm and sincere. I can't say enough positive things about them and their products! Survival!!! Very powerful and effective tooth serum for killing plaque, bacteria, and germs. I take it in my purse everywhere. Great if you have a cold it just kills the germs and bad breath. It's sooo fabulous, won't let anyone kiss me until they share this product. mxx Thank you so much for making such a beautiful product Nadine and Ron, Thank you so much for making such a beautiful product. I received my order yesterday and am grateful to you both for making something like this available to others. I Love Yogi Tooth Truth Serum Save your teeth before it is too late! Throw away your toothpaste and feel great! The yogis knew more than you. They kept their teeth looking brand new. With cinnamon, clove and neem. A bright new smile, fresh and clean. I love Yogi Tooth Truth Serum. ;) Have the Best Night Ever!!!! Amazing! Just wanted to write and thank you for sending out the Yogi Tooth Serum, received several days ago. Also wanted to say that your products are nothing short of AMAZING! You truly are gifted! I have tried many essential oil preparations and had to throw them all away. Your products are effective without being harsh. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do! Thank you for the products you make available. I am anticipating my next order already! I can’t believe how much better my teeth and mouth feels each time I do this! I love this protocol by the way! I saw it on David’s Longevity conference and I’ve watched it three times to make sure I got the protocol down right. I even printed out the instructions for both of us and I have mine taped on my mirror. I can’t believe how much better my teeth and mouth feels each time I do this. So happy you put this out for everyone’s benefit. I am hoping to heal two tiny cavities – got a bet with my dentist that they will be gone when my dental insurance has some room again in January Whiter Teeth! I ordered this product and have been fascinated and captivated by it. I love how simple my brushing routine has become and how clean my teeth feel afterwards. I love that I no longer need tooth paste and that my serum is only made up of 4 ingredients. Simple living is so fun and beautiful. Also, after using the drops for 3 weeks, I looked in the mirror and noticed my teeth have become whiter! I was not expecting this at all but am so grateful . Whiter teeth has been on my list of things to work on and your product is helping. I feel so amazing and more in touch with nature and the environment by using your wonderful creations. Thank you, thank you, thank you! xo The BEST care for your teeth, gums, saliva- the whole mouth! What can I say, I am obsessed! I have been dealing with healing severe TMJ for the last few years (I have had migraines for about 11 years and finally found out the huge issues with my jaw) and my mouth has just been a "hot" area in my body that I have had to heal, all together. I have receding gums and teeth moving all over the place. I expanded my upper jaw by nine mm and now I am completely the process of aligning my jaw. I have been trying to put as much positive healing energy into this area of my body and I take my teeth and mouth very seriously now. I found this product from the Raw Food World and was immediately intrigued. I have gotten rid of my regular toothpaste and have a completely new routine now. These oils make my mouth feel so much better and I feel like I have taken on a completely new healing process. I am so grateful to Nadine for this product and I am about the order one of the essential medicine kits to continue my healing through the immense pain and bring myself into a new place in life. Thank you so much Nadine! I will definitely post this on my blog soon as well to share - www.rawpeach.wordpress.com Sooo bitter but soooo good! I'm a super taster so the Yogi Tooth Serum is really bitter tasting for me, but holy whiter teeth! I'm in my 50s and within a couple of weeks of using the drops, along with a couple of scrubs of Himalayan sea salt, my teeth are noticeably whiter and my mouth feels so clean and fresh. Love it! Thank you for the excellent step-by-step dental care guide - I'm following it to the letter - who knew you don't need toothpaste!! - and my teeth & gums are so healthy now! I plan to try the milder gum drops just to compare, but this has really revolutionized my dental care routine. Thank you again!

Created for Children under 9 yearsMilder version of our effective Healthy Gum Drops formulaTested and Approved by Leif (at 2 years!) Nadine wrote this blog for Mothering.com on the Subject of Oral Care and Children: Sometimes, helping children to brush their teeth, or getting children to brush their own teeth, is like herding cats and, when children do brush their teeth, even when they are teenagers, do they do a thorough job? Is their brushing effective? In ancient times, children very rarely had cavities. Today, however, one of the biggest health concerns affecting little ones more than any other in North America and Europe is dental decay, ECC (Early Childhood Caries). Is it because dentists are giving out lollipops? (http://mothering.com/health/does-coke-money-corrupt-kids-dentistry) Did the ancients have advanced civilizations that cracked the code on toothpaste? Or, is it because breastfeeding fades in and out of popularity while processed formula proliferates? When your child closes her mouth against the toothbrush, while you cheerfully chant “If you get up in the morning… and you want to find something to do, you brush your teeth ch ch ch ch, ch ch ch ch” by Raffi, know, (that your dentist may not say so), but brushing isn’t everything. Dr. Weston Price (President of the America Dental Association from 1888-89) studied primitive skulls and traveled the world studying the teeth of cultures that ate only their traditional foods; cultures in which a cavity would be found in one in a thousand people. Cultures that had moved away from their nutrient-dense food and were plagued by white flour and white sugar had rotted teeth. Decay of tooth enamel is not only from food stuck in it. Dental decay occurs in two ways: internal and external. External factors are food in the mouth, acidity, bacteria, how the teeth fit together, and exercise. External factors play a role, but they are not the initiating factors in oral decay. Teeth are alive! They can regenerate, and this is why internal factors that nourish the teeth are so important. Real foods, hormonal balance, minerals, and the fluid exchange through the teeth are key. When the teeth are healthy, they are like trees, drawing their nourishment from the roots and the blood and digestive system are the soil. Nourishing fluid moves from the pulp chamber through to the dentin. Stress, processed food, and inadequate nutrition reverse this precious flow and the tooth starts to draw bacteria and acids from the mouth into the tooth. Teeth start forming inside the womb, and pre-natal nutrition with a healthy dose of fat soluble vitamins, minerals, and whole foods starts the process of building strong teeth. Around 2-3 years of age, the permanent teeth are forming/calcifying into the jawbone and, if there is a nutritional deficiency of minerals and vitamin C, D3, K2 and A at this time, teeth are formed that are less resistant to decay. This also means that breastfeeding mothers need to be abundant in whole nutrition as well. As teeth start to come in, wipe the teeth with a cloth dipped in salt water. This will help clear plaque and neutralize acids. Teach children to swish with salt water and spit it out, which will do most of the work. Later, brushing can begin using salt, baking soda or xylitol powder (from a health store). If a carie lesion begins, this does not necessarily mean a permanent cavity is inevitable. Know that the teeth are alive and brown enamel lesions could be reversed. When there is a carie lesion the salvia starts on the area to balance the decay, and the dentin inside your tooth will shot forth odontoblasts which regenerate new cells to the area. If this happens keep the tooth clean and look into the diet. Healthy Teeth Tips· Avoid bonding molars on the cavities (this traps bacteria in the tooth)· Offer zero processed food· In the beginning, stick to breastmilk and water· Floss when the teeth start getting close together· Avoid Fluoride water and treatments · Phosphorus and vitamin C help ease teething· Breastfeeding is not the cause of cavities· Soak all grains and beans overnight before cooking to get rid of phytic acid· Avoid all commercial toothpastes (toxic) – stick to the basics: salt, baking soda, and xylitol Review(s) Yay to Brushing Time I just want to share a quick story... I have 2 1/2 year old twins. We struggle with them a bit regarding them allowing us to brush their teeth. Yesterday, they were sitting on my lap watching a video on YouTube of Nadine regarding healthy teeth. In the video, Nadine is wearing a pink dress. Since then my kids say at different times throughout the day, "Where did the pink lady go?" And my son will say, "I want to hug her!" When I want to brush their teeth now, I refer to the "pink lady" and they say "yay!" So to Nadine I say,"Thank you!" Not only do I love the products and feel so good about using them, my kids are more open to thee to brushing! My 6 year old loves this! My 6 year old Finn is really loving the Wild Child Healthy Gum Drops! He says he doesn't like toothpaste anymore! my child really doesn't like brushing her teeth.... but after trying this product for the first time tonite, she said she would brush her teeth whenever. So, I hope it is true. I am really hoping that this will help her teeth as the enamal has really come off of her teeth. She is only 4 and we eat super healthy-- but i think its the grains that must get to her teeth. Either way, I am really hoping that this is the answer that I need to help fix her teeth Thank-you My son started using the kids Gum drops. he had a "watch" on one of his teeth from a previous dentist visit and I couldn't believe that the dentist could not hardly find it at his last visit a few days ago and said everything looked great! Thank you Nadine! We will continue trying to heal our teeth with your products. Great Find I put a drop of the Wild Child drops on her toothbrush and brushed her teeth. She said that she "Liked it so much she wanted to have invisaligns so she could put a drop in and wear it all day." She went and showed her Dad her beautiful teeth. :) she is always trying to get out of brushing her teeth.. so this is a great find. (She's five.) :) My 5 year old LOVES this!

Clay is great by itself and with the added flavors and spices this makes brushing a pleasure. In dental heaven - VERY impressed Picking this wonderful gem up, I realized in an instant what a treasure it is. Something about trying clay on my teeth for the first time made it very interesting indeed, I knew I was in for an experience. Reading the ingredients list is very exciting, and there's something about rose on my teeth that tickles my fancy in it's epic surprise appearance! All you need is a tiny drop, pea-sized, and it takes you a very long way, making this last a long time. Coating this on my teeth, brushing away, felt like a magical slippery slide into toothly heaven wonderland. I seriously find its texture just amazing. Glides so effortlessly along each tooth. My heart was ringing in joy just at the experience of brushing my teeth... And I happened to try this tonight, I'm not a very avid night time brusher, but after this experience, I want to brush teeth at night just for how beautiful and clean I feel. My teeth are made to feel important, perched proudly in their gum thrones in the kingdom of oral hygiene. Best part of it, looking in the mirror at my gleaming smile when I was done brushing. Out of this world shine!!!!!! I saw each tooth's importance at that very moment, a beauty and health epiphany; each and every tooth was its own superstar, all were special, shining like diamonds in the sky. I am SO happy right now. Thank you for yet again another brilliant, phenomenal creation. This has lit up my smile and my heart. Amazing I've just started using this Ozone clay tooth paste and its amazing, the smell and taste are the best things I've ever tried, it has already calmed my gums down a lot, I've been using neem oil on my teeth/gums for almost a year (not Nadines brand but another brand) but for me that didn't seem to do anything, but I've found the clay has been really great and I have noticed a difference in just over a week of using it. Oxygen explosion in my mouth! When I first saw this product on the web, I knew it was something special - and I knew that this was also the very thing I had been searching for - for many years. It has the texture of a quite soft tooth paste, yet it r e a l l y 'scrubs', rinses and cleanses your teeth thoroughly. And it has this wonderful and uplifting effect, that it will release ozone/(semi oxygen) particles in your mouth while brushing(!) It feels SO lovely - like a huge breath of fresh clean air - quite hard to describe with words, really. I might even call it a small oxygen explosion in my mouth :-) The ozonated clay paste is probably one of the 'roughest' of the Living Libations dental care products and it works out really well together with Healthy Gums Drops, and the like.
