Skip the dentist and save your teeth and gums
This is the most effective tooth product I’ve tried, and I can’t say enough good things about it. I’ve been using this product for years and have converted many friends and family members away from conventional toothpastes. Since using this product, I almost never get cavities anymore, and for years I struggled with root canals and gingivitis. Eventually after doing a lot of research on my own, I learned that it was the glycerin in conventional toothpaste that was causing my tooth problems. Glycerin is a sweet, sticky substance and is a byproduct of the soap industry. It’s removed from natural soap because of its humectant properties and the manufacturers make more money by selling it to skin care companies to add to their creams and lotions. Added to toothpaste, it adds sweetness and a smooth texture, however it is not a desirable ingredient, it actually causes plaque because it’s so sticky and cannot be easily removed from your teeth. Toothpaste manufacturers won’t tell you that and dentists seem to be ignorant of this, or they don’t say anything because there’s no business in it for them if your teeth and gums are healthy. Now when I go to the dentist, he wonders why my mouth and gums are so much healthier. Since he swears by fluoride (another product to stay away from), I just tell him it’s the water pic I’m using, it’s easier for him to swallow.
I do want to note that all tooth powders are not created equally. I recently heard about Frau Fowler’s tooth products and thought I would give them a try. I was very disappointed in their product. The main ingredient is baking soda, a cheap ingredient, and they add sweeteners (stevia and xylitol), which are supposed to give it flavor. After a few days of using it, I developed mouth sores. Uncle Harry’s is a very strong flavored product and takes some getting used to, but the pure essential oils and mustard seed powder they use are so beneficial for our oral health, you just use a lot less. Yes it’s salty at first, give yourself time to adjust. It’s not supposed to taste like candy, but it will make your mouth and teeth fresh and clean, you have to try it to believe it. An 8 oz bottle of tooth powder lasts me about 8-9 months. My only complaint is that Amazon stopped selling the tooth powder on Prime, so I’m now ordering directly from Uncle Harry’s website, where it is about half the price.
I have no affiliation with Uncle Harry’s company, just trying to help others who have had a lifetime of tooth and gum issues like me. Give this tooth powder a try for 6 months and see what your dentist says on your next visit. Just remember to tell him you’ve been using a water pic, because he won’t believe it’s because you stopped using fluoride toothpaste.
