Ouch, this is a hard one 👉 But the truth is da

Ouch, this is a hard one 👉

But the truth is daily mouthwash use can really mess with the body head to toe! It may seem like it would be a good idea to destroy all the bacteria in the mouth but doing that kills the good guys too!

Why? Because without a good amount of bacteria in the mouth the oral microbiome gets unbalanced and that not only increases the risk of oral disease it also messes with digestion!

I know that so many dentists and dental hygienists still regularly recommend using mouthwash daily so it may seem hard to challenge this recommendation

But if you are currently struggling with your teeth, gums or jaw and especially if you also have blood sugar or blood pressure regulation issues…seriously consider breaking this habit!

Was this an ah-ha for you? Let me know in the comments.

Google your current worst symptom. ie. Gum recess

Google your current worst symptom.

ie. Gum recession, bleeding gums, cavities, breath odor….

I found this interesting….and also frustrating!

What recommendations come up first?

I did this and, shocker, the most recommended things to do for all of the top oral health concerns

↪️ floss daily
▶️ brush daily and after meals
🔀 use a fluoridated toothpaste
➡️ use mouthwash daily
↘️ see your dentist regularly

How’s that working for you? 🤨

No wonder so many people are still struggling, doing their best with little to no improvement!

I need your help to make this change!

Let’s change things up and see what happens!

Start here ⬇️

Floss daily - if floss is frustrating find something that works better for you to clean between your teeth daily.

Brush your teeth- brush in the morning and before bed, never right after eating! Brush well, brush less!

Fluoride toothpaste may not be your best choice. There are safer alternatives.

Rinse with water or oil pull instead of using regular mouthwash.

See your dentist regularly- yep, keep doing that!

Prevention is key! And much less expensive.

Important ‼️ the above modifications to traditional recommendations will surely help but if you are lacking in some of the oral health fundamentals then that’ll also keep you stuck!

↕️

Drink enough water
Eat enough protein
Eat enough healthy fats
Eat enough fiber
Quality 7-9 hours sleep
Breathe only through your nose
Be stress resilient

⬆️ put that into action and watch the magic happen 🤍 ✨

Tell me in the comments
What has been something that you’ve been told to do that has not seemed to work.
What from the above ⬆️ do you plan to incorporate into your routine?

This drives me crazy about dentists 😡 I know

This drives me crazy about dentists 😡

I know that fellow dental hygienist will agree here ⬇️

When you spend the last hour with a patient and have gone into detail discussing your concerns with their gums…

And then the dentist comes in and says “things look good, great check up”

And pretty much erases everything you just said!

The big problem with this, and it happens all the time, is when the dentist says things look good, the patient hears that and feels nothing is wrong and may not take the bleeding gums seriously.

Bleeding needs to be taken seriously!

If your arm bleeds when you touch it, I’m sure everyone would be concerned and no one would say “perfect check up”!

Bleeding gums affects the health of the entire body and is never normal no matter how long it’s been or how many times the dentist said “things look good”.

Listen to your dental hygienist! (All said with love)

And if your gums still bleed even when you’re doing your best to clean your mouth well everyday, reach out and I’ll help you get to the root of it!

Dry mouth? Did you know that even just 3-5 minute

Dry mouth?

Did you know that even just 3-5 minutes of conscious breathing exercises can help you increase saliva flow?

Sitting quiet, without interruptions (yes, lock yourself in the bathroom 🚽 if needed!)

Bring your attention to your breathing 😮‍💨

Inhale gently through your nose 👃 for 3-6 seconds

Exhale gentle through your nose 👃 for 4-6 seconds.

Try to exhale longer than your inhale.

Your mind will wander, that’s ok just bring yourself back to your breath!

Within time and sometimes practice, you’ll start to notice your saliva become more watery.

Try this a few times and tell me when you notice any changes 🥰 ⬇️

Wait what??? No. I have gum disease? Ok ok ok no

Wait what??? No. I have gum disease?

Ok ok ok not to scare you or have you start covering your mouth when you speak to people

Or cause you to rush to your makeup mirror for a closer look 👀

It’s important to understand what gum disease is so you can take control of your oral health and prevent future problems

Gum disease includes:

Bleeding gums aka gingivitis
Receding gums
Gum pockets 4mm+
Bone loss

“Just a little bit of bleeding” needs to be addressed so that it does not progress.

Whether you notice bleeding at home or they tell you at the dentist

The most important thing to do is to understand that this is a message from your mouth alerting you to something going on in the body.

Often people are just told to floss more and maybe go to the dentist more often

What is not often discussed are the ways beyond the floss that will help you to reverse or keep stable and help prevent future oral-systemic problems.

And I know what you’re thinking

“How do I do that?”

Every mouth and root cause is different and that’s why so many people continue to suffer with tooth, gum and jaw issues.

Waiting to see if you need a gum graft? It’s no

Waiting to see if you need a gum graft?

It’s no fun worrying about your next dental appointment and what kind of treatments they’ll tell you you need now.

How much time?
How much money?

And it’s frustrating because tooth and gum issues tend to progress silently so it’s often a shock hearing work needs to be done.

Questioning- do I really need it?

And the fear because it’s your smile and you want to keep your teeth forever!

I’m here to tell you there is a better way!

Stop 🛑 watching and waiting!

Start taking control of your oral health so you no longer fear being told work needs to be done!

Start taking a different approach to loving your smile and preventing future problems!

It is time to get to the root of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms.

Send me a DM for options on how to do this!

She had pretty uneventful dental appointments until that all changed what seemed like all of a sudden!

Gum pockets, bone loss on X-rays, bleeding gums…

Gum specialist referral was recommended by her dentist.

💯 good idea of course but I always want to accompany that with a whole health approach.

Let’s do an oral health audit and investigate for clues 🕵️‍♀️ and other signs and symptoms.

➡️ reflux
➡️ inflammation
➡️ sleep breathing issues
➡️ dysfunctional breathing
➡️ oral hygiene

Oral hygiene is last because it is rarely the issue yet that’s what people focus most on!

In this case, her saliva and oral microbiome seemed to be most negatively affected by inflammation and reflux.

We worked together on a plan and she put it into action!

Happy to report that her hard work paid off and her gums stabilized and there was no longer a need for specialist intervention.

She knows what she still is at higher risk and also knows where to focus to keep things in check!

Yay!

Do you know your BIG THING that could be contributing to your oral health challenges?

Ready?

Whitening toothpaste does not whiten your teeth 🦷 🤯

Sadly, these toothpastes are usually quite abrasive and while your teeth may seem to get whiter at first will often make your teeth darker and stain prone over time.

The enamel is the outside and whitest layer of the tooth, and harsh toothpaste will wear away that layer making the tooth look more yellow.

Sooo keep your toothpaste simple and gentle and steer clear of whitening toothpaste!

True or false? “Mouthwash is an important part

True or false?

“Mouthwash is an important part of keeping a healthy mouth.”

False!

Even though this is quite a common recommendation it is very important to know the risk of regular mouthwash use.

The balance of the oral microbiome is key in helping to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

Mouthwash kills all the bacteria, even the good ones essential to digestion and many other body functions.

Save your time and money and skip the mouthwash!

Your microbiome will thank you!

🤍✨ Spa like and no floss nagging…

That was my vision when I started my independent dental hygiene clinic almost 5 years ago!

I wanted to create an environment where people would look forward to coming for their preventative dental hygiene care

Where they could relax and know that there would be no floss guilt

We go beyond “treating the symptoms”

And take a whole health approach to help prevent future problems!

Want whiter teeth? 🤍✨

Here is the secret to maintaining white teeth whether you have tried professionally whitening or not.

➡️ always breathe through your nose and keep a closed mouth posture when you’re not talking, eating, smiling…

Teeth look whiter when the saliva and oral microbiome are healthy and happy and not dried out by open posture and mouth breathing!

Breathe well, smile more ✨🤍

I’m not gonna clean your teeth!

What we will do together…

💫 Assess your risk for oral diseases that will ultimately affect the health of your entire body!

💫 Identify signs and symptoms in your mouth that may indicate problems present somewhere else in your body.

💫 Assess nutrition, screen for sleep breathing issues and other things that affect the health of the teeth, gums, bones and jaw.

💫 Create a personalized plan to help improve the health of the saliva, the balance of the oral microbiome and reduce inflammation.

So yeah…part of that personalized plan would include dental hygiene therapy and removal of the build up of hard and soft deposits in the mouth…

But no, I don’t do “just a cleaning” 🤍✨

Clinic and online appointments available!

The simple test that you can do right now that will help you to get to the bottom of why you may be suffering with tooth, gum and jaw issues no matter how hard you try! ⬇️

First, it’s important to mention that the following 3 things significantly have an effect on the health of your mouth!

The way you handle stress
The way you breathe
The way you sleep

And if I were to ask about any one of those things most people would say they are doing just fine!

The problem is that we tend to think what we are used to is good because we don’t know otherwise! It’s “our” normal!

Testing your BOLT score- which is a simple breath hold that provides feedback of the body to the accumulation of carbon dioxide.

The lower the number the more likely the way you breathe is affecting your sleep, stress resilience and your oral health!

Rest assured, if your BOLT score is low, I have ways to help you fix it so that all of the above improve as your score goes up!

Comment if you know your BOLT score (no need to share the number if you don’t want to;)

It’s no secret that exercise is good for bone 🦴 health.

Think of chewing as exercise for the bones that keep the teeth and gums in place!

➡️ chew your food well (until it’s almost a liquid)
➡️ eat crunchy foods (nuts and seeds)
➡️ eat chewy food (meats and veggies)

Let’s get this going! What’s your favorite crunchy or chewy food? And GO!

Is overbreathing affecting your oral health? ⁣
⁣
Yes, this is a thing!⁣
⁣
⁣
Conventional dentistry follows a “treat the symptom” model ⁣
⁣
Which tends not to look into the root of the problem ⁣
⁣
This is a big reason why a lot of people continue to experience oral health issues even though they do their best at what’s recommended.⁣
⁣
After working with thousands of clients I have narrowed things down to the BIGGEST thing that keeps people stuck…⁣

Dysfunctional breathing plays a GIANT role in these things.⁣
⁣
We don’t tend to spend much time taking notice of the way we breathe ⁣
⁣
Truth is, there is a wrong way to breathe! ⁣
⁣
➡️ Over breathing⁣
➡️ Mouth breathing ⁣
➡️ Shallow breathing⁣

Receding gums can be a pain for many people

Not just because it can increase tooth sensitivity but because it can be frustrating doing your best to try to prevent them from receding more

Only to find out that they keep receding and you’re closer to needing a gum graft!

Sure you’ve been told to brush gently with a soft toothbrush but has anyone asked you about…

Digestion?
Stress levels?
Can you breathe through your nose?
Bruxism and sleep quality?

If your gums are receding then it’s indication that something is affecting the health of your saliva and oral microbiome.

You need to take a whole health approach if you want to prevent tooth and gum issues!
