Sagano Activated Charcoal Powder

I have tried several different activated charcoal teeth whitening powders and they have all worked pretty much the same but this one from #Sagano has an awesome mint flavor and taste. Others claimed to be mint flavored but there was no noticeable mint at all. With Sagano we could smell it as soon as we opened the container.

This is another thing I love about Sagano the container has a flip top lid instead a screw top lid which makes it easier to use.

I do want to be clear because apparently I wasn't to my 15 year old because she had been using this everyday but you are only supposed to use this 2-3 times a week, not for every brushing.



If you are looking for a healthy whiter smile try using activated charcoal powder for teeth, it might just be what will work for you. Sagano can be found at my link below.

Charcoal for Teeth?

My daughter has been seeing all of the online ads for charcoal tooth whitening powder and wanted to use it. Me being a mom wanted to try it out first to make sure it was safe for her to use.

To be honest when I think of charcoal I instantly see in my mind hard black bricks made into powder and was more then a bit thrown back by it. To my surprise this Charcoal whitening powder is made from Coconut shells ground down into a powder. Not sure why they went with the word Charcoal but now that I know I am much more comfortable using it. 

I have stained teeth from Iron supplements so the Dentist has told me that whitening products would only take surface stains off of my teeth but would not change the overall color of my teeth. With this being said I still wanted to try it and even though there isn't much of a color change, I love the way my mouth and teeth feel. Amazingly smooth and shiny too.  

I do want to warn you to be ready for a black mess, I use an electric toothbrush so I suggest keeping your mouth closed as much as possible while brushing to keep black specks from flying all over your bathroom or your clothes. For us the specks cleaned up with a swipe of a cloth on the sink and walls, but I am not sure about the clothes. I suggest doing this before you get dressed or even in the shower. 

Very easy to use, wet toothbrush, dip in powder, brush teeth and tongue, then rinse well. Verdict is I will continue to use this in the future for a nice smile that feels like I just had my teeth cleaned by a Dentist.

Sterline Counter Top Water Flosser

This was an item that I was told by my dentist to get because my teeth are so close together. Regular floss gets stuck and we either have to pull it out when possible or even cut it out of my mouth. I have used dental sticks with little or no results. In steps a water flosser and my life is changed as was the cleanliness of my mouth. I am looking forward to a shorter cleaning time at my next dentist check up. 

This is awesome as it holds 600 ml of water, comes with a 3 standard nozzles ,1 tongue scraper, 1 Orthodontic Tip  head, and one pocket head. This also comes with a 2 year warranty.

Sterline Sonic Pulse Electric Rechargeable Toothbrush

* Some of the links in the article may be “affiliate links.” This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive compensation.  

A manual toothbrush has been part of my life from the very beginning. Then when I became and adult I started hearing about rechargeable toothbrushes, then sonic toothbrushes. I asked my dentist and he suggested that I get one because of the iron supplements I have been on I have damage to my teeth from when they were forming under my baby teeth. Even with regular checkups a regular toothbrush just can't do for my teeth what a sonic toothbrush can. 

I already have a Sterline sonic toothbrush but added this one to my collection because it has the UV clean technology my primary physician suggested. I have a weak immune system and have to keep my toothbrushes clean and away from everyone else in the family. It has helped a lot in catching illness from their toothbrushes but this added security just may make an even bigger change in my quality of life. 

I suggest this for anyone who has immune problems or for anyone who just wants to make sure their toothbrush is clean. Before this I had to soak my toothbrush in bleach and then into boiling water to make sure it was clean. I also did everyone else in my families this way too but no more. This is so easy and it doesn't take any time out of my day to do it. I can brush, detach the head place it in the UV slot shut the door and go about my daily business knowing it will be clean for my next use.

Smarson Home Dental Center

As a person with a loud but small mouth I have had always had a problem brushing and flossing my back teeth. My dentist taught me how to unlock my jaw to be able to do it but it can still be tedious. I have gotten floss stuck in my teeth and I have to have someone cut it out of my mouth. Talk about trusting someone.

My dentist for years has been trying to get me to purchase a unit like this and I finally took the plunge and bought an all in one kit. Now I can brush, and floss my teeth with no pain. My dentist is going to be so proud of me and I bet dental hygienist will thank me too.

Most of my dental appoints has been working between my teeth to get things I have missed and the tarter that is never ending. He said this would help with that too.

This set has everything you need for brushing and flossing a whole family system if you share but this baby is all mine. I love that his is rechargeable so that I don't have to worry about replacing batteries, or worse having it die while in the middle of using it.

Oral Spray

I found this to be a bit strong for me and tasted like a throat numbing product that is sold on the market, but it did take care of bad breath so it works. The first time I tried it I sprayed it on my tongue and quickly found out you are supposed to spray it on the inside and outside of your teeth and rub your tongue along your teeth.

The second time went much better and the taste wasn't so overwhelming. I love that this can fit into my purse, desk drawer, or medicine cabinet. Great for when you need fresh breath quick. I also like that this has other qualities like strengthening teeth as well as being an anticavity. I did find out while it says cool mint it is actually spearmint which is something I hate, I am more of a peppermint kind of person. They do have three flavors to pick from and I think I would pick the cranberry next time.

This Oral Spray can be found on Amazon.



What Toothfilm has to say about their product.

FRESH BREATH THAT BLOWS EVERYONE AWAY:
Bad breath is an instant conversation killer. What's worse is that one in four adults are victims of bad breath. Blast bad breath away and keep your mouth fresh in an instant with T-SPRAY. Just spray a few times and you're ready to charm your date or ace that interview.

Woobamboo

This is my first bamboo toothbrush. There really is nothing different about the use or results of this toothbrush other then being better for our earth. As in it will break down faster then a plastic toothbrush. This I like. Our family tries to be a eco friendly as possible, so why not try a new toothbrush that isn't any more expensive then other toothbrushes but is more eco friendly.

Most of the time I use an electronic toothbrush but I do usually have a manual toothbrush around for myself just in case, like in our downstairs bathroom for quick tooth brushings before running out the door.

This bamboo toothbrush can be found on Amazon.

Inspire. Innovate. Change the World!
WooBamboo Eco-Awesome Toothbrushes are a stylish and eco friendly alternative to the typical landfill-cluttering plastic toothbrush. They are made with bamboo that's sustainable, organically grown, biodegradable, antimocrobial, and panda-friendly!

Keeping teeth safe during sports

As a mom I am seeing Under Armour items everywhere, not knowing much about them and wanting to learn about their products, I thought I would take the chance to review these mouthguards which are of course for Football, are are considered Performance Mouthguards, but hope to get some Basketball mouthguards in time for basketball season for the girls so please check back on that in the near future.

Two of the mouthguards they sent me are the UA flavorblast antimicrobial mouth guards in Bubble Gum and Berry with attached helmet straps. These are meant to have flavor and the antimicrobial properties last the whole life use which means with a little rinse these mouthguards will be clean and sanitary for use inside your mouth.

Under Armour also sent me one of the regular Armourbite Antimicrobial Mouthguards which I really like because the mouthguard has a defined look that looks like it will be better for your mouth and teeth in the long run.

I am really looking forward to reviewing a set for my girls for basketball because to be honest besides telling people about these mouthguards we were not able to actually use them because my girls don't play football. We could have gotten away with using the Armourbite Antimicrobial Mouthguard for Soccer but this year my daughter couldn't play because of her physical being after tryouts.

You can find Under Armour Mouth guards available on their site here.

Here is to healthier teeth and gums

For your health you need to do more than brush your teeth, you need to floss, rinse, scrape your tongue and of course get regular checkups from your Dr. and Dentist.

Keeping your teeth, gums and mouth healthy have a lot to do with your overall health, from your mouth, to your heart. Some people don't realize how much keeping your mouth healthy can help your heart out.

I have a very small mouth although it is loud, it is very small. all of my teeth fit but brushing and flossing are really hard. I have damage to my teeth from years of iron treatments, but on top of that just to brush or floss I have to dislocate my jaw to get all of my teeth.

Most flosses get stuck in my teeth and then have to be cut out of my mouth so my Dr. and Dentist recommended a electric toothbrush, and a oral irrigator to help me floss better and more frequently. This isn't one of the huge oral irrigators most of us are used to seeing. We have one of those but this one is more compact and easier to travel with which seems to be happening more for our family now that the older kids are out of the house.

This is a nice water flosser to use every day or just for travel, your choice. I have a bigger set upstairs and this little one downstairs. I am in love with both. Here is to happier and healthier mouths and bodies.

You can find this water flosser on Amazon.


Gurin Professional Rechargeable Water Flosser with High Capacity Water Tank is a rechargeable cordless design powered by rechargeable batteries - Universal Voltage: 100 to 240V~50/60Hz. Extra large reservoir is removable and easy to refill. Three operating modes for varying oral care needs: Normal Soft and Pulse. Rotating interchangeable nozzles great for multiple users. Provides and easy and effective way to support proper teeth and gum health at home
