is teeth whitening safe? why you should swap peroxides for PAP teeth whitening
With so many teeth whitening products that immediately cause sensitivity, burning, and bleeding, it’s no wonder many people are asking: is teeth whitening safe? The conventional teeth whitening industry we know today has been dominated by peroxides for decades. The first peroxide-based whitening formulas were crafted back in 1960, and we feel that they haven’t been explored or questioned nearly enough in the last six decades. While these chemical whitening agents are known to get the job done, it’s no secret that they can cause some damage in the process. So, we’re covering some of the reasons peroxides cause so much discomfort while they whiten. We’re also going to discuss some natural teeth whitening alternatives that are starting to steal the spotlight from old formulas full of peroxides and fluoride. These cutting-edge whitening alternatives fuse PAP, an organic acid known for its whitening capabilities, and hydroxyapatite, your newest remineralizing superhero ingredient. Together, these two innovative ingredients work to whiten and brighten your smile without causing discomfort and long-term damage. In fact, they do the opposite by strengthening your teeth to nurture long term oral and overall health. So, without further ado, let’s dive into some ways you can make your whitening routine safer and gentler on your oral microbiome. is teeth whitening safe? Generally speaking, teeth whitening is safe, but there are potential risks. When using these products at home (especially conventional whitening products formulated with peroxides), it can be easy to misuse or overuse the product. We know it’s tempting to think that whitening more often might lead to an even brighter smile, but overuse can lead to some pretty unpleasant side effects. When it comes to answering the question, “Is teeth whitening safe?,” we recommend listening to your mouth. It will tell you when whitening is doing more harm than good through increased sensitivity, gum irritation, bleeding, and more. If it hurts to simply bite down after your whitening session, it might not be too safe after all. No matter what, we recommend consulting with your dentist before you start a new teeth whitening routine! the problem with peroxides Now you might be wondering why some whitening products immediately cause sensitivity and irritation, while others don’t. This has a lot to do with the concentration of peroxides (hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide) in the product. Peroxides are the main bleaching agent in conventional whitening products, and it’s no secret that they get the whitening job done. But at what cost? For years, peroxides have been known to cause complications such as sensitivity, enamel erosion, gum irritation, bleeding, sores, and beyond. There’s a reason peroxide-based whitening products come with thorough instructions: keep the product from touching your gums, don’t let it sit on your teeth for too long, don’t use it too often, do not swallow, etc. To no surprise, many countries have placed restrictions and bans on peroxide-based products. The EU and Canada both have strict concentration limits, while Japan has completely banned hydrogen peroxide in cosmetics. If the product is paired with so many warnings and regulations around the world, is it truly safe? Don’t worry, we’re not saying you have to ditch teeth whitening altogether, but there is a gentler, natural alternative to peroxides: PAP teeth whitening. our preferred method, natural teeth whitening PAP teeth whitening is the more natural alternative to peroxide-based products. PAP (Phthalimidoperoxycaproic acid) is an organic acid that promotes bleaching, and it does so without releasing the same harmful atoms that peroxides do. These harmful atoms, aka free radicals, can cause damage to your mouth’s cells and tissues. If you move your tongue around your mouth, it’s easy to feel that there’s a lot of soft, cushy tissue all over. These cells and tissues are prone to irritation and inflammation, so we want to make sure we’re using products that are gentle and safe. Peroxides are also known to wear down your enamel and cause irritation and inflammation, which is why they cause so much sensitivity even after one use. Unlike peroxides, PAP teeth whitening products are often fortified with hydroxyapatite, an amazing ingredient that already exists in your enamel and works to remineralize it from the inside out. With help from hydroxyapatite, PAP teeth whitening methods actually work to strengthen your enamel, not wear it down. This reduces the risk of sensitivity and nurtures your oral health in the long run! With PAP you don’t have to deal with painful sensitivity right after a whitening session, so you can proudly and comfortably show off your bright white smile! how hydroxyapatite can help In addition to PAP teeth whitening products that are formulated with hydroxyapatite, you can get a daily dose of hydroxyapatite with our sensitive + whitening toothpaste. It’s made with amazing ingredients that work to fight tooth decay, reverse enamel damage, nourish your gums, relieve sensitivity, freshen your breath, and whiten your teeth! Gentle abrasives such as calcium carbonate and hydrated silica work to safely whiten and polish your teeth, while xylitol and baking soda work to kill bad bacteria and neutralize plaque-forming acids. Then, nano-hydroxyapatite particles bind to your enamel on a microscopic level, remineralizing damaged areas from the inside out to reduce decay and relieve sensitivity. Sounds like a pretty incredible whitening and remineralizing dream team, right? Until we make a special announcement about some new natural teeth whitening products, we encourage you to stock up on hydroxyapatite toothpaste for your brightest, strongest smile yet! buy premium toothpaste now

does mouthwash work? how natural mouthwash wipes out the competition
Do you ever feel like your brushing, flossing, and tongue-scraping routine isn’t quite enough? We know how it feels to crave the cleanest, freshest mouth you can possibly achieve. You don’t want to be left with any lingering roughness, smelliness, or general “not quite clean enough” feeling after your oral care routine. So you decide you’re going to add mouthwash into the mix. When you commit to adding another product to your daily routine, it can feel daunting! You’re immediately overwhelmed with questions in your head. Does mouthwash work? Does it do more harm than good? Wait, doesn’t it burn? That can’t be good, can it? We completely understand and want to give you the tools and knowledge to feel 100% confident in your oral care routine. Part of that confidence involves knowing that your oral care routine is good for your entire body, and we’re committed to providing you with natural products that fit the bill. And you guessed it, natural mouthwash might very well be in our future. In celebration of this exciting addition, let’s discuss the nitty-gritty of mouthwash: how it works, the potential benefits, the harms that can come with conventional mouthwash products, and all the reasons natural mouthwash wipes out the competition. does mouthwash work? There’s no simple answer to this question, but if we had to pick one answer, it would be: yes, mouthwash works....but you have to keep a few things in mind. Mouthwash cannot work alone. It will not get you very far if you’re not flossing daily, brushing twice daily with effective toothpaste (hello, Davids hydroxyapatite toothpaste), tongue scraping, and following a mouth-friendly diet. These things can work together with mouthwash to reduce bacteria and plaque to reduce your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health complications. It really matters which mouthwash you choose. We’ll be the first to tell you that the conventional “kills 99.9% of germs” mouthwash is not the same as a holistic natural mouthwash formulated with gentle, fortifying ingredients. We’ll cover this more in the following section. It’s critical to keep up with your dental visits. When was the last time you went to the dentist? If enough plaque has built up in your mouth between visits, it’s likely hardened into tartar. If that’s the case, you’ll want to visit your dentist for a routine checkup and deep cleaning. Otherwise, your daily efforts to clean your teeth will always leave you feeling like you’re not doing enough. Now that we’ve covered those caveats, how does mouthwash work? Well, as a liquid, mouthwash can reach corners of your mouth that brushing and flossing can’t always reach. By swishing with mouthwash, you can deliver antibacterial and antiseptic ingredients to hard-to-reach parts of your mouth, while also providing your teeth with an extra coating/dose of remineralizing ingredients (such as hydroxyapatite). As a result, mouthwash can reveal a healthier, stronger, and whiter smile! That being said, certain aspects of conventional mouthwash aren’t so sparkly, so let’s dive into those. the not-so-clean sides of conventional mouthwash Many conventional mouthwash products have the goal of completely wiping out the bacteria (and other organisms) in your mouth. This sounds tempting, but the truth is that our mouths need some of these organisms to thrive. After all, there is such a thing as good bacteria. To accomplish this, many of these products contain alcohol and other harsh chemicals that can actually do some damage to your delicate oral microbiome. alcohol: found in most conventional mouthwash products, alcohol can cause that burning, stinging, dry mouth sensation after a few uses. chlorine dioxide: many companies will add this antibacterial bleaching agent to their formulas, although the CDC has classified it as a hazardous ingredient. poloxamer 407: this synthetic detergent is known to alter blood flow in animal tests, but we don’t actually know how it affects human health (which, to us, is a good enough reason to keep it out of mouthwash). dyes: you’ve probably seen that most mouthwash products on the shelf are a pretty blue, green, or purple color....thanks to chemical dyes. These dyes can be harmful to your overall health and could actually stain your teeth in the long run. artificial flavors: these unnatural flavors, such as benzoic acid, may not be safe to ingest or use in high concentrations....both of which are concerning when it comes to highly concentrated mouthwash you might use every single day. When it comes to chemical mouthwash products, we feel that the risks outweigh the rewards. That’s why we’ve been on a mission to discover (and share) a natural mouthwash alternative that can provide all the amazing potential benefits of mouthwash....without the dirty downsides. Let’s talk about it! the wonders of natural mouthwash Natural mouthwash contains all of the benefits listed above, while it avoids the not-so-clean aspects of conventional mouthwash. The goal of natural mouthwash is to nurture your oral microbiome without compromising your overall health....a holistic approach we can get behind!Natural mouthwash is: free of harmful ingredients: not only is natural mouthwash flavored with delicious pure essential oils, it’s also formulated with safe, natural, and effective ingredients. In other words, it does not include the alcohol, dyes, detergents, and bleaches you might find in conventional mouthwash. It’s also free of SLS and fluoride, two ingredients that have been under close watch recently....and for good reason. balancing for your oral microbiome: natural mouthwash takes a root cause approach! Instead of completely wiping out all of the organisms in your mouth, it works to balance the bacteria in your mouth to restore your mouth to a healthy pH and improve bad breath, gum discomfort, plaque, and more in the process. fortified with hydroxyapatite and xylitol: we mentioned that natural mouthwash typically avoids fluoride. In place of this questionable ingredient, many natural mouthwash products are fortified with hydroxyapatite. This remineralizing ingredient, which already makes up most of your teeth and bones, works to repair your enamel, strengthen it from the inside out, and reduce sensitivity and tooth decay in the process. Much like our nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste, natural mouthwash often contains both hydroxyapatite and xylitol, which work together as a remineralizing and whitening dream team. naturally whitening: with natural mouthwash, you don’t have to sacrifice the long-term health of your mouth to achieve a bright white smile. By reducing bacteria and plaque while remineralizing your enamel from the inside out, natural mouthwash has the potential to reveal your whitest, most radiant smile. With natural mouthwash, there’s no more burning, stinging, or itching required to reap all of the amazing rewards of mouthwash. Can you tell we’re excited about it? There’s a reason for that, and all we can say for now is....stay tuned for a new Davids product launch! In the meantime, we encourage you to stock up on your favorite natural oral care products to ensure your routine is top-notch. buy premium mouthwash now

why does flossing hurt? five common causes and their Davids-powered solutions
Have you ever asked yourself, “Why does flossing hurt? How can people tolerate it every single day?” We hear you. Even when flossing doesn’t hurt, it’s not exactly fun. When it hurts, it’s so tempting to throw it out the window altogether. But we’re here to remind you that flossing is essential for your long-term oral health, and if it hurts every time you do it, your mouth is trying to tell you something. What message is it sending? Let’s do a little digging to find out. 1: you’re not flossing enough This one might sound contradictory. If flossing hurts, shouldn’t you stop doing it? Not always. When flossing hurts and causes your gums to bleed, it might be a sign that you’re not flossing often enough. How do you know if flossing is hurting because of infrequency, vs. a real oral issue such as gum disease? Here are a couple of important questions to ask yourself. Is flossing a new habit for me? If so, it’s likely that your gums and teeth simply aren’t used to it yet. After about a week, it should stop causing bleeding and feel relatively painless. If you’re a long-time flosser, and your gums begin to bleed and feel sore out of nowhere, it’s likely a deeper issue that you’ll need to run by your dentist. When my gums bleed after flossing, does the bleeding stop quickly? If the answer is yes, then keep at it....your gums should get used to flossing in no time. If the bleeding persists, you might have some level of tartar buildup, gum disease, or both that require a professional exam. If the issue is gum disease or another oral issue, your dentist will be able to remove tartar buildup, give your teeth and gums a deep clean, and recommend treatment steps. 2: you haven’t mastered how to floss / you don’t have the best floss In our previous article, we cover exactly how to floss, revealing pro tips for a smooth flossing experience. One of our top tips involves forming a U-shape with the floss around each tooth. This allows you to hug the tooth’s surface without having to place all of your downward force on your gums. This way, you can remove as much plaque as possible (on the front, back, and sides of your tooth’s surface) without causing damage and bleeding on your gum line. If you feel like you’ve already nailed down your flossing technique, it might be time to ask yourself if you’re treating your mouth to the best floss or not. Many of the big-brand flosses out there are crafted with Teflon-based threads, which can sometimes feel too “hard” on your gums and also introduce PFAS (harmful chemicals) into your mouth. On the other hand, many plant-based flosses rip apart the moment you start using them. In our book, these options don’t win the award for best dental floss. In other words, if your dental floss is not carefully crafted for performance, it could be the reason you experience pain and bleeding (or frustration) after flossing. You can smile brighter knowing that the soon-to-launch Davids floss is meticulously designed for performance. It’s woven with hundreds of soft (yet gently scrubby) threads....and coated in smooth wax infused with cocoa butter and nano hydroxyapatite. As the wax allows the floss to glide smoothly between your teeth, the cocoa butter works to repel plaque and the nano hydroxyapatite particles help to remineralize your enamel (in those hard-to-reach crevices). Not to mention, our floss is free of harmful PFAS, making it a safe dental floss for your whole family. 3: you have tightly-spaced teeth Do you feel like flossing is so much harder for you compared to everyone around you? You might have tighter teeth! But don’t worry, with proper technique and the best floss, you can reach those tight spaces without having to jam the floss into your gums. Our high-performance floss is woven with numerous threads, so it can compress, adapt to your teeth, and squeeze into those tight crevices without ripping. Keep an eye out for our carefully crafted + safe dental floss. It’s made to adapt to all mouths, even those with tight teeth! 4: you might have gum disease If you floss and the bleeding, redness, and discomfort linger for a long time, gum disease might be the culprit. There are different stages of gum disease, and sometimes the beginning stages aren’t so obvious. You might notice lingering redness and inflammation on your gum line. You might also experience bad breath, feel a rough tartar coating on your teeth, or notice “pockets” forming around your teeth. With gum disease, you don’t want to just continue flossing and hope the pain subsides. It’s essential to get your gums checked out by a dentist, so you can start to follow a treatment plan to get back on track. Once resolved, it’s so important to diligently keep up with your oral care routine....making time for flossing with the best dental floss (Davids), brushing with premium toothpaste, tongue scraping, and even swishing with natural mouthwash to keep your gums healthy and strong. 5: you struggle with sensitive teeth Do you feel like the pain from flossing is originating from your teeth rather than your gums? Do you also feel tooth pain when you eat hot or cold foods? Sensitivity might be the cause. Experts estimate that 1 in 8 Americans experience tooth sensitivity, so just know you’re not alone if you experience an ache when brushing and flossing. If you feel mild sensitivity during your oral care routine, Davids hydroxyapatite toothpaste and hydroxyapatite floss can provide daily relief (which we’ll cover in the next section). However, if you’ve experienced severe sensitivity over a long period, we strongly encourage you to visit your dentist and explore different treatment plans. don’t worry, Davids can help There are multiple reasons why flossing might be painful, but with our recent launch of innovative floss, addressing this discomfort has never been easier. Our commitment to simple, natural, and accessible oral care solutions is evident in our product range, meticulously developed to enhance your dental regimen. remove plaque: our antiplaque formulas are packed with gentle, abrasive ingredients designed to 'exfoliate' persistent plaque and bacteria without damaging your enamel. By integrating the use of our toothpaste into your routine, you pave the way for a safer and healthier flossing experience while safeguarding against tooth decay and gum disease. soothe sensitivity: for those with sensitive teeth, our sensitive+whitening hydroxyapatite toothpaste is a game-changer. Lab tests confirm its ability to remineralize enamel and reduce sensitivity swiftly, making flossing a more comfortable endeavor. And now, our hydroxyapatite floss further extends these benefits, delivering revolutionary minerals into the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth, alleviating sensitivity from all angles. With the introduction of our high-performance floss, we at Davids are excited to support your journey towards a smoother and more comfortable flossing routine, alongside our celebrated premium toothpaste, bamboo toothbrush, and professional stainless steel tongue scraper. buy your premium toothpaste now

how to keep your smile merry and bright this holiday season with our travel size toothpaste
The most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner, and we want to make sure you have all the tools you need to keep your smile as merry and bright as the festivities around you. With so many decorations to be hung, travel plans to secure, and gift lists to check off, it’s easy to feel immediately overwhelmed by this season that’s supposed to be fun and joyous!

Our travel size toothpaste is one of the best tricks to have up your sleeve to ensure your mouth is fresh, healthy, and sparkling this holiday season. So you can look and feel your best no matter where it takes you. there’s no place like roam(ing) for the holidays While many say there’s no place like home, a study found that ahead of the 2022 holiday season, nearly 47% of Americans planned to travel, despite unique holiday barriers such as flight cancellations, overcrowded airports, and increased travel prices. And it’s no secret that travel makes it more difficult to stay on top of your oral care routine. Not to mention, the holiday season is also famous for sweet treats, celebrations, and special indulgences, all of which can do some damage to your teeth....even if it’s just for a short period of time. So, whether you’re traveling to see family or escaping to a remote island destination, we want to help you to feel like your happiest and brightest self. This means nurturing your mouth, avoiding the sensitivity (and other damage) that can come with holiday indulgences, and keeping your oral care on point even in the middle of a busy holiday season.

Be sure to stock up on these mini superheroes ahead of the busy holiday travel season! Here are some additional pro tips to make sure you’re staying on top of your oral care throughout the holiday season. hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: we may sound like a broken record, but water is so important for all aspects of your health, including your oral health! Water helps flush away bad bacteria, reduce dry mouth, and restore your mouth to a health pH level. If you’re looking for a refreshing change from plain old water, we recommend reaching for an unsweetened green tea, which contains antibacterial and antioxidant properties that can help tame bad breath throughout your travels. snack smart: instead of opting for proceed, sugary foods that are often offered at rest stops and airports, reach for smart snacks that hydrate your mouth and “exfoliate” your teeth (yes, that’s a thing). Fresh fruits and veggies such as apples, pears, melons, berries, cucumbers, celery, and carrots have a healthy water content and work to exfoliate your teeth as you chew. Other snacks like yogurt are gut-friendly, probiotic-rich and high in protein to keep you satiated and balanced. freshen up: in addition to our travel size toothpaste, consider packing an herbal breath spray or natural, plant-based gum. Be sure to keep these items within reach at all times throughout your travels! Also, don’t forget to keep your oral care items in one place, so you can keep them close and avoid any unnecessary contamination that comes with shuffling items around. We recommend a reusable cosmetic bag that’s easy to clean and disinfect between your trips! dashing through the trash You know us....we simply couldn’t talk about holiday travel and oral care without mentioning waste.Did you know that the average American’s waste production increases from 25-42% during the holiday season? That’s one huge reason it’s so important to reduce unnecessary waste wherever and whenever you can this holiday season. Although this waste increase isn’t caused by the oral care industry (it’s more of a product of gifting, food waste, and festive decoration waste), our daily habits still play a huge role in our waste generation, and oral care is a repeat single-use-waste offender. If you’re not already doing your best to remove plastic from your self-care routine, we invite you to do so in the spirit of the holiday season! give a gift to the planet Tis the season to honor the planet! Our full line of holistic, natural oral care products are made of (and packaged in) planet-friendly materials.

how our bamBOO toothbrush and supernatural toothpaste help you fight the frights of Halloween
Spooky season has arrived, and Halloween is creeping up! The spirit of this season is both exciting and nostalgic, and we want to help you savor it in the most sustainable, mouth-friendly way. It’s no secret that Halloween is supposed to be scary. But perhaps some of the scariest parts of it are lurking in the shadows. the scariest sides of Halloween Ghosts, ghouls, and goblins might steal the “scary” spotlight on Halloween, but you can be sure that cavities and plastic waste are waiting for their turn at a jump scare. sugar surge Many news outlets claim Americans buy 600 million pounds of candy on Halloween. This sugar surge can cause some damage, especially to little ones’ whose teeth are still developing. How does sugar cause cavities? It “feeds” the bad bacteria in your mouth, allowing them to deposit acids on your teeth and form a gooey, damaging coating on your teeth (plaque). This plaque (and the bacteria and acids in it) eats away at your enamel, leading to sensitivity and tooth decay. Candies that are sticky, chewy, or long-lasting (like lollipops) can keep the sugar coating on your teeth for even longer than normal, really fueling those bacteria in your mouth to do some damage to your pearly whites. plastic waste On top of the oral care impacts of Halloween, it’s also one of the more wasteful holidays out there! Here are just some frightening facts about the plastic waste generated on Halloween. 40 million pounds of candy waste: it’s estimated that every trick-or-treater generates one pound of trash on Halloween, and there are over 40 million of them. Most (if not all) candy wrappers end up in landfills because they’re so hard to recycle. 2,000 tons of plastic costume waste: a UK study found that nearly 84% of Halloween costumes are made from plastic-derived materials, and almost half of them are only worn once. If these were to end up in a landfill, it would equal roughly 2,000 tons (83 million soda bottles) worth of plastic waste. plastic decorations: while there’s no way to truly estimate the waste generated from synthetic Halloween decorations, just think of all the plastic jack-o-lanterns, spiders, webbing, and other scary props out there. We hope everyone is reusing these year after year, otherwise, the plastic waste from Halloween keeps growing. our tips to fight these frights Keep up with your holistic oral care routine and be sure your little ones are doing the same. don’t indulge all day long: it’s better to enjoy your candy in short bursts, so the sugar has less time to “plant roots” on your pearly whites. This can look like grabbing just a few pieces of candy at a time or making sure you avoid those chewy, long-lasting types. drink your water: water can loosen some of the bacteria that might be getting too comfortable on the surface of your teeth. It can also help you return the pH of your mouth to a healthy level after some sugary snacks. brush after a candy craze: have you ever felt a rough coating on your teeth after eating some sugary snacks? Your teeth are telling you they want a little refresh! Grab your Davids bamboo toothbrush and premium toothpaste to freshen up after indulging. This is one of the best ways to nurture your long-term oral health (while avoiding plastics, too)! Explore new ways to ditch plastics. upcycle your costume: it’s pretty shocking how much Halloween costumes can contribute to plastic pollution. We hope these facts inspire you to DIY your Halloween costume from upcycled fabrics or old costumes! make your own Halloween treats: we know this one might be a little unrealistic if you get hundreds of trick-or-treaters at your door, but you can always consider making some homemade treats and wrapping them in a sustainable/recyclable material such as aluminum or beeswax wraps. use natural and/or reusable decorations: pumpkins are one of the best Halloween decorations! If you’re carving yours, we recommend repurposing the scraps in a yummy recipe. You can also DIY other Halloween decorations by upcycling materials around the house, visiting the thrift store, or reusing your old decorations every single year. Now, let’s dive into how our bamboo toothbrush can help nurture your long-term oral health while reducing plastic pollution all year long. how our bamBOO toothbrush and supernatural toothpaste can help On top of the frightful Halloween waste, did you know that 1 billion plastic toothbrushes and 1.5 billion plastic toothpaste tubes make their way into US landfills every single year? By switching to our bamboo toothbrush and sustainable toothpaste, you can eliminate your contribution to this plastic pollution altogether. And you can do so while still effectively nurturing your long-term oral health....even during one of the most sugary holidays of the year! Let’s dive into some of the biggest bamboo toothbrush benefits first. a bamboo toothbrush is safe: unlike other plants, bamboo doesn’t require pesticides or harsh chemicals during the growing process. It’s safe to use in your daily oral care routine, and it’s a great way to avoid putting plastics in your delicate oral microbiome. bamboo is naturally bacteria-fighting: it’s harder for bad bacteria to grow on the surface of a bamboo toothbrush, so you’re already starting with a cleaner slate. a bamboo toothbrush cleans effectively: our soft-bristle bamboo toothbrush can break down plaque, freshen your breath, and lower your risk of tooth decay when used daily. It does so without damaging your enamel or irritating your gums like some other toothbrushes. a bamboo toothbrush is easy to maneuver: bamboo is textured, so it doesn’t slip around like plastic. This makes it easier to reach all the tight corners of your mouth. a bamboo toothbrush is gentler on the planet: instead of a fate inside a landfill, your eco friendly toothbrush can decompose within weeks. You can send it to a commercial composter, put it in your home compost bin, or even plant it in your garden. No matter which way, it will eventually decompose and return to the soil, instead of contributing to plastic pollution. why Davids is the best bamboo toothbrush: our bamboo toothbrush is made with a comfortable bamboo handle coated with vegan wax to make sure it feels good in your hand and mouth. Unlike many other toothbrushes on the market with plastic bristles derived from petroleum, our bamboo toothbrush is made with BPA-free bristles derived from all-natural castor oil. You can brush happily knowing you’re using a truly eco friendly toothbrush. Now, let’s cover some of the many ways our premium toothpaste can help you minimize the impacts of the Halloween sugar craze, while also reducing your environmental impact. ultra-pure micro-abrasives: the micro-abrasives in our toothpaste are derived from sandstone and quartz powder. They work to safely “exfoliate” your enamel, removing bacteria, plaque, and other pathogens....without damaging your enamel or using any chemicals in the process. While other toothpaste brands might use low-quality imported micro-abrasives, ours are the highest-quality micro-abrasives sourced here in the USA. baking soda: the baking soda in our toothpaste works to kill the bad bacteria in your mouth, in turn, reducing plaque and taming bad breath. It also works to remove surface stains to whiten and polish your pearly whites! xylitol: this natural sweetener is very different from sugar, as it actually helps to kill the bad bacteria in your mouth. It does so by stimulating saliva production in your mouth, so it can naturally flush out bad bacteria to avoid the formation of plaque and restore your mouth to a healthy pH. premium mint essential oils: in addition to their fresh flavor, the peppermint oils in our toothpaste can actually fight bacteria. Research shows that peppermint oil is antibacterial against certain strains, including those that can cause cavities. nano-hydroxyapatite: hydroxyapatite is the hero ingredient when it comes to restoring and remineralizing damaged enamel (aka, reversing the damage that can lead to cavities). The nano-hydroxyapatite particles in our sensitive+whitening toothpaste work to repair your damaged enamel at the source, blocking exposed nerve passageways to relieve sensitivity and fight cavities. Not to mention, these particles already exist in your body, so this star ingredient is completely safe and biocompatible.

how mouth breathing impacts your oral health + new habits that can help
You’ve probably realized that how you breathe really matters. If you haven’t, you can prove it to yourself right now. How does it feel when you take a few short, shallow breaths through your mouth? Now, how does it feel when you take a long, deep breath through your nose...pausing at the top and exhaling slowly? Your breath has the power to immediately impact your nervous system, for better or worse. But did you know that the way you breathe also has a huge influence on the health of your teeth? It’s true, mouth breathing has the potential to impact numerous areas of your health, and we’re diving into them....so you can learn new ways to protect your oral and overall health from this poor habit. nose breathing vs mouth breathing Are you a mouth breather? The truth is, you might not even know the answer to that. That’s because breathing is an unconscious habit throughout the day (for the most part)....and certainly unconscious when you’re asleep at night. Let’s dive into some of the differences between nose breathing and mouth breathing, so you can see why this topic is worth your attention! Nose breathing is preferred because it... filters toxins: your tiny nose hairs serve a very important purpose. They naturally filter out allergens, microorganisms, and pathogens as you inhale. When you breathe through your mouth, these toxins can directly enter your lungs. humidifies and warms the air: this is important because your internal body temperature is high, so when the air you breathe is closer to your body temperature, it’s easier for your lungs to use. increases oxygen uptake: nose breathing produces nitric oxide, which helps to widen your blood vessels, making it easier for oxygenated blood to reach your internal tissues and organs. More nitric oxide can enhance your brain function, regulate inflammation, promote weight management, improve sleep quality, nurture your gut health, and beyond! In short, your nose was made for breathing and smelling, so it’s important to let it do its job! On the flip side, mouth breathing is harmful because it can: allow more toxins into your mouth and body: mouth breathing bypasses the natural filtration system that exists in your nose, allowing more toxins to enter your airway and irritate different systems in your body. cause dry mouth and increase your risk of tooth decay: mouth breathing can dry out your mouth and slow your saliva production, allowing bacteria to fester, eat away at your enamel, disturb your mouth’s pH, and cause bad breath. increase snoring and disrupt restful sleep: if you mouth breathe, you’re more likely to snore and experience sleep disruptions (including sleep apnea). negatively impact your heart, brain, and lungs: as we saw with nose breathing, nitric oxide is essential. You’re not getting enough nitric oxide when you mouth breathe, and this can keep your vital organs from receiving optimal oxygenation. This can cause symptoms such as brain fog, memory loss, asthma, abnormal blood pressure/heart rate, and more. Many experts agree that the only time mouth breathing is truly necessary is when you’re performing intense exercise, so let’s keep it that way! the dental signs of mouth breathing We’ve discussed how mouth breathing can cause dry mouth, but the negative effects on your oral health stem even further. The dental signs of mouth breathing can include: increased oral pH: as you sleep, mouth breathing can decrease your oral pH. This can appear as increased enamel erosion, sensitivity, gum disease, and/or tooth decay. bad breath: reduced saliva in your mouth allows bacteria to fester, causing you to wake up with “cotton mouth” and bad breath. enlarged tonsils: these are both a cause and an effect of mouth breathing. As mouth breathing dries out your mouth and affects your pH, this can lead to inflammation in the tonsils and adenoids. But enlarged tonsils and adenoids can also obstruct your primary airway and prompt you to breathe through your mouth. It’s a vicious cycle! TMJ and jaw clenching (bruxism): your tongue is supposed to serve as a “cushion” for your jaw, but mouth breathing can cause your tongue to move away from the roof of your mouth. With your tongue out of position, it can’t properly support your jaw and dental arch, which can lead to issues such as TMJ and jaw clenching. As you can see, “mouth breather” isn’t just an insulting term made famous by Stranger Things. It’s a serious condition to consider when it comes to your oral and overall health! how to stop mouth breathing Now that you know the harms of mouth breathing, how can you stop it?During the day, we recommend practicing mindfulness to discover your breathing patterns. If you find yourself mouth breathing more often than not, establish a daily ritual that includes deep breathing through your nose. You’ll also want to ensure that your nasal passages are clear, perhaps by using saline sprays/flushes.Nighttime mouth breathing is a little bit trickier. But don’t worry, there are countless brands of mouth tape out there that help you stop mouth breathing. For example, SomniFix Strips are designed to comfortably keep your mouth closed, your jaw aligned, and your tongue on the roof of your mouth, leaving your nasal airway clear for efficient nose breathing. how hydroxyapatite can combat the effects of mouth breathing Along with mouth tape and mindfulness, hydroxyapatite toothpaste can help you mitigate the effects of mouth breathing. We’ve discussed how mouth breathing can cause dry mouth, enamel damage, sensitivity, tooth decay, and beyond, so it’s a good thing that our hydroxyapatite toothpaste can help you combat all of those things!Hydroxyapatite is a substance that already exists in your teeth and bones. When you brush daily with our hydroxyapatite toothpaste, the nano-hydroxyapatite particles bind to your enamel on a molecular level, filling holes and scratches while remineralizing weakened areas. This helps to relieve sensitivity (within just a few days) and prevent further damage. Our hydroxyapatite toothpaste also contains vegetable glycerin and xylitol, both of which work to moisturize your mouth to prevent dry mouth. Glycerin is a natural moisturizer that stimulates your salivary glands, immediately soothing the symptoms of dry mouth. Research shows that xylitol also stimulates saliva production while starving bad bacteria in your mouth, providing an extra line of defense for your teeth! If you’re a mouth breather, don’t hesitate to add our hydroxyapatite toothpaste to your daily routine. buy premium hydroxyapatite toothpaste now

what causes cavities? our top five tips for holistic and natural cavity prevention
Before we dive into natural cavity prevention, let’s talk about what causes cavities. As Dr. Mark of Ask the Dentist explains, our teeth naturally know how to heal themselves, which is why it’s possible to keep the same set of teeth your whole life!How do your teeth self-repair? Between daily wear and tear, your saliva delivers a much-needed mineral supply to your teeth. This allows your teeth to remineralize any spots that have been weakened or damaged by bacteria (the beginning of a cavity). If your teeth aren’t getting a steady supply of minerals (or the bacteria in your mouth are too overpowering), those spots will continue to weaken and form a cavity.Conventional dentistry will tell you that you either have to brush with a potent synthetic fluoride toothpaste or “drill and fill” once your cavity has reached the point of no return. But we’re here to tell you that natural, proactive remineralization should be your focus and first line of defense against potential cavities. You can help your teeth achieve this natural remineralization by using Davids sensitive + whitening toothpaste, aka the best hydroxyapatite toothpaste, as well as the other holistic health habits we’ve outlined below. 1: take inventory of your oral health status We’re all starting at a different baseline when it comes to cavities and overall oral health.Even if we all had the same holistic oral care habits, we’d still have different outcomes. This is because different conditions can play a role in your susceptibility to cavities.You can start your natural cavity prevention journey by taking inventory of your overall oral health status. We recommend asking yourself the following questions. What does your tongue look like? Is it an even pink tone, or does it have discoloration, grooves, textures, or a white coating? Your tongue is always trying to tell you something about your oral and overall health. You can investigate by using some of the info in our previous article here. You can also take the first step to a healthier tongue by adding our professional tongue scraper to your daily routine! Are you dealing with dry mouth at night or throughout the day? Dry mouth will put you at a huge disadvantage when it comes to cavities. As we mentioned before, saliva plays a huge role in flushing out bacteria and toxins....as well as delivering essential minerals to your teeth. Dry mouth can be caused by your habits, mouth breathing at night, genetics, medications, and beyond. When was the last time you went to the dentist? Are you up to date on your x-rays? You could already be starting with cavities you don’t even know about. How’s your oral care routine looking? Are you brushing daily with remineralizing ingredients, like the ones found in our hydroxyapatite toothpaste? Are you flossing daily? No matter how clean your oral care routine is (or how stellar your oral health is), it’s always a good idea to check in every now and then. Now, let’s head into some other specific tips for natural cavity prevention. 2: prioritize specific vitamins and nutrients in your diet Hydroxyapatite, the hero ingredient in our remineralizing toothpaste (and fluoride's biggest competitor), is composed of calcium and phosphorus. These elements are essential for your oral health, so it’s crucial that you’re getting a natural supply of these in your diet. Magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K2 are also essential nutrients when it comes to your oral health, so let’s discuss some ways you can ensure you’re getting enough of them through your diet....and how they support natural cavity prevention. calcium: famously known as the nutrient needed for “strong bones and teeth,” calcium plays an important role in preventing cavities. It gives your enamel (the hard outer surface of your teeth) strength, and you can up your calcium levels by consuming dairy, chia seeds, sardines, salmon, almonds, beans, lentils, whey protein, tofu, and leafy greens. phosphorous: as another building block of your enamel, phosphorus is essential for your oral health. You can get more of it in your diet through the foods mentioned in the bullet point above + poultry, red meat, and more seafood. vitamin D: your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, and you can get more vitamin D naturally by getting out in the sun (carefully for a limited amount of time) and eating more fatty fish, mushrooms, oysters, shrimp, and egg yolks. vitamin K2: this vitamin activates a protein that helps calcium bind to our teeth and bones to do its remineralizing. You can get more K2 through fermented soy (Natto), sauerkraut, butter, chicken, beef liver, and egg yolks. magnesium: another mineral that helps your body absorb calcium (and activate vitamin D), magnesium is essential when it comes to forming strong enamel. Strong enamel is your first line of defense against tooth decay. You can get more magnesium through nuts, oats, seeds, spinach, soy, and supplementation. You can see that there’s a lot of overlap between each bullet point, meaning most of these foods are well-rounded and nutrient-dense! See if you can make some of them staples in your diet. 3: limit sugar and acidity in your diet In addition to adding mouth-healthy foods to your diet, you can support natural cavity prevention by limiting your intake of acidic and/or sugary foods and drinks. The cavity-causing bacteria in your mouth love to feed on sugar and use it to produce acid that breaks down your enamel. In a similar manner, directly consuming acidic foods and drinks (like citrus fruits, grapes, pineapple, vinegar, and alcohol) can weaken your enamel and make it more prone to decay. 4: listen to your gut While it may not be the first thing you think of, your gut plays a central role in your oral health. The balance of bacteria in your gut can affect the balance in your oral microbiome (and vice versa). If you have an overwhelming amount of bad bacteria in either place, it can take over the good bacteria and lead to tooth decay. Other gut conditions such as acid reflux can also play a huge role in your oral health, as we discussed how acid can wear down your enamel and lead to cavities. It’s important to consistently nourish your gut health by listening to any symptoms your gut presents and consuming gut-healthy foods. Fibrous, nutrient-dense, and fermented foods are great for the good bacteria in your gut, and natural stress management (through movement, mindfulness, meditation, restful sleep, and beyond) can really help your gut and oral microbiomes in the long run....all of which can support natural cavity prevention! 5: remineralize with the best hydroxyapatite toothpaste We’ve mentioned that hydroxyapatite is a combination of calcium and phosphorus, the building blocks of strong, healthy enamel. Brushing daily with our hydroxyapatite toothpaste is one of the best (and easiest!) ways to strengthen your enamel to support natural cavity prevention. Hydroxyapatite is the natural alternative to fluoride, but unlike fluoride, it’s biocompatible and safe to consume. With hydroxyapatite, you don’t have to worry about adverse effects if it’s swallowed or absorbed into your bloodstream. This is why you won’t find a poison control warning on our toothpaste tube! Why do we call Davids the best hydroxyapatite toothpaste? Well, we had a third-party lab test it up against our competitors, and it did the best job at remineralizing weakened, porous enamel (the most susceptible to cavities). You can check out the photo results for yourself! Now that’s what we call natural cavity prevention + enamel repair. buy premium hydroxyapatite toothpaste now

do you need to floss? don't brush over this crucial step of your oral care routine
You’ve probably heard from your dentist that flossing is important for preventing plaque buildup, cavities, sensitivity, gum disease, and more. In other words, it’s pretty important for nurturing your holistic oral health! Whether you’re a flossing pro, a start-then-stop flosser, or an “I don’t need to floss” kind of person, it never hurts to brush up on the topic. Do you need to floss? Why is flossing important? What’s the best way to floss? What’s the best type of floss? Does the type of floss even matter? The answer is yes! All of these things matter. Don’t worry, we’re here to dive into all the specifics on flossing and explore all the ways that natural floss outperforms its conventional counterpart (hint hint, there might be a new Davids product launch on the horizon). At the end of the day, we only want what’s best for your oral and overall health, and a solid oral care routine with natural floss is the best. why flossing is important So, another dental professional has told you you need to start (or continue) flossing. You know it’s “important,” but do you know exactly why flossing is important? Many dentists estimate that brushing alone only cleans the front and back of your teeth, leaving roughly 35% of your teeth untouched. Not to mention, these untouched crevices are tight, making them the perfect place for bacteria to fester and gooey plaque to build up. If you’ve read more of our blog articles, you know that we believe in a holistic approach to oral (and overall) health. If your oral care routine neglects 35% of your teeth’s surfaces, is it truly a holistic oral care routine? Trust us, once you add a high-quality flossing routine into your life, your mouth will feel cleaner than ever before. What exactly do we mean when we say “high-quality flossing routine”? We mean one that uses top-notch techniques as well as non-toxic, natural floss. how to floss, the right way! Now, it might seem silly that we want to teach you how to floss. After all, it's pretty simple, right? Actually, flossing requires a lot of intentionality and practice! Even if you’re someone who’s been doing it for years, it’s always a good idea to brush up on your technique....because technique truly makes a difference when it comes to flossing. That being said, here are some tips to help you floss like an expert. We recommend flossing before you brush your teeth. This is because flossing dislodges stubborn particles and bacteria. Once those are loose in your mouth, we want to give your mouth a proper brushing to make sure we dispose of those dislodged pieces. Grab roughly a foot (yes, 12 whole inches) of floss, and wrap the ends around your middle fingers. You can use even more if that feels more secure and comfortable. Once it’s wrapped around your fingers, grip it between your thumb and index finger, and use your thumb to guide the floss between your teeth. Important: make a u-shape with the floss around each tooth, switching directions within each crevice to get both of the teeth that share that crevice. This u-shape is crucial, allowing you to remove as much of the plaque buildup as possible. Flossing isn’t solely about removing food from your teeth, it’s about breaking down that pesky plaque. Gently slide the floss up and down several times while maintaining the u-shape. Don’t press too hard on your gums when you slide downward....this can lead to pain and bleeding. While you’re in each crevice, try gliding the floss along the back of your tooth too, so you can target that pesky plaque buildup. A few additional pro tips: try changing the placement of the floss as much as you can, so you’re not reusing the same portion of the floss every time you enter a new crevice. Move up and down the strand to use a fresh piece for different teeth and avoid wearing one part down to the point where it nearly breaks. You can also rinse off the floss as you go to dispose of any particles. Also, you may want to try coating your floss with our premium toothpaste to increase its bacteria-fighting power! Last but certainly not least, one of the biggest tricks to flossing (and your oral care routine in general) is to slow down. We know it’s something you do every day, so it’s tempting to rush through the motions. But we really encourage you to slow down and take time to practice some mindfulness. It’s good for your oral health and mental health! why you should switch to natural floss It’s no surprise that we, a toothpaste brand, believe in natural floss over conventional floss. But we also recognize that many people may not feel passionate about (or even think about?) where their floss comes from or what it’s made of. But we’re here to change that. Here’s why. Unlike natural floss, many of the conventional floss options out there have a nylon or Teflon base coated in synthetic chemical wax. Right off the bat, this doesn’t sound like something you want to use in your daily oral care routine. You may have seen that non-toxic cookware is having a moment in the spotlight because traditional cookware has a Teflon coating. According to the EWG, Teflon is commonly called PFAS, a “forever chemical” that’s linked to many health issues. On top of the chemical issue, conventional floss is usually packaged in single-use plastic. So when you toss the floss, it’s likely to end up lingering for decades in a landfill and adding to the plastic pollution problem. If every single person in the US flossed according to ADA recommendations, roughly 2.5 billion plastic floss containers would end up in landfills each year. Sure, we know not everyone is flossing as recommended, but we think they should be! Sustainable natural floss, on the other hand, avoids toxins and utilizes sustainable packaging! A win-win for your body and the environment. If you’re wondering why we’re singing the praises of natural floss when we don’t have any on our website, all we can say right now is...STAY TUNED! For now, it never hurts to stock up on the best toothpaste. buy your premium toothpaste now
