For the original post about OraWellness, read on…
I mouth off PLENTY. I want to continue to do so, for the benefit of all who fall under my verbal spittle storm umbrella – so I need my mouth to be in action for a long time to come. I need to take good care of it.
I remember, as a kid, having a decent amount of dental work. I had a root canal as a teen. I was in the dentist chair at least long/often enough to request a somewhat odd (and awesome) piece of artwork that, for whatever reason, I considered an optimal conversation starter all through college:
Tat-TOOTH. Get it?
Behold, my wicked cool ”tattooth” – another part of my noise-cavern I want preserved for as long as possible. (I did my best to blur the better part of my chomping-pit. Because, if you’re like me, you feel the same way about other peoples’ mouths that you do about other peoples’ children. As in, you don’t want to look in their fly-traps all day.) Anyway…#Jayhawks.
For many years my gums have bled way too easily. Dentists and hygeinists have mentioned it in passing – never offering any counseling other than the standard brush, floss, here’s-some-Colgate-and-an-Oral-B; so I always assumed it wasn’t that big a deal. My oral health improved when I changed my diet, but my gums were still fairly quick to bleed.
So for my most recent cleaning, I decided to seek a “biological dentist” – which is a Dentist in the educational/traditional/pie-hole-investigative sense of the word; but one who works in an integrative and holistic paradigm to optimize the foundations of dental health (which, as I now understand – thanks in great part to the work of Weston A. Price - is as much related to good nutrition as anything else).
Dr. Silver actually counseled me on what I needed to do to resolve this gum issue. (PS – he’s hilarious. Any dentist who attempts – and then fails – to implement a “no sarcasm Wednesday” is great in my book.) I’ve got the nutritional part down, but he mentioned that there are both internal and external reasons for things like inflammation and – yup – bleeding gums. And instead of sending me home with Colgate and Oral B, he requested that I got started with a different style of brushing. It involved an essential oil blend – the exact stuff recommended by a company called OraWellness.
This advice came at the perfect time, because OraWellness had just approached me with a chance to try their product. I had no prior experience with the supplies OraWellness or my dentist were promoting – though I’ve used other such “alternative” things as homemade toothpaste, fluoride-free Tom’s, Sonicare, and even oil pulling. But I’ve never used essential oils exclusively OR the odd brush they recommended. Here’s what the stuff looks like – on the left, the brush and bristle close-up (the bristle tips are round!) and on the right, the bottle of essential oils:
At first I wasn’t sure I could “buy in.” But having a real-life dentist show me the exact same product, with no knowledge of my chat with Orawellness, convinced me to give it a try.
Orawellness has volunteered to give away
one bottle of Orawellness and a family pack of Bass brushes!

If you subscribe to the RSS, each new post will appear in your feed! The newsletter (the sign-up box you see) will be active soon, but will be more of a monthly update. It won’t notify you of new posts! I hope that helps
Thank you for reading Jen!
i like the Orawellness Facebook Page.
I liked the OraWellness Facebook page. This is cool stuff. I also have a holistic dentist. It’s nice not to have to fight off the fluoride treatment at every visit.
For some reason I’m skeptical, but signed up for the newsletter. Perhaps if I win, you can make me a believer.
I signed up for the newsletter. How did you find your dentist?
A good place to start is here: http://www.iabdm.org/cms/
You can find a biological dentist in your area, then check out their website to see if their demeanor appeals to you!
Thanks. I tried the website, and was disappointed. There are none in Ohio!
I’ll still use the website for questions I might ask dentists around here. Thanks again.
LOL, I’ve been looking for a good dentist reasonably close to me. Thanks for the recommendation!

i liked the facebook page. never heard of this stuff, and im always looking for a toothpaste alternative! thanks, liz!
I signed up for the newsletter. Oral health is just the latest iteration on my quest for living clean. I just saw a post re: oil pulling – but that seems a little involved for me right now, this looks like a good altenative. – Annie

Signed up!! : )
Thanks!!
Have a great day!!
Liked the page! Been interested in trying it for a while now .. the only thing that stopped me was the price
and being skeptical. I suffer from bleeding gums as well so it would be great to find a product that actually worked!
Hi Rebecca,
We hear you on the price. We do offer several packages to help reduce the per bottle sticker shock. Bottom line is we believe that folks are willing to pay more for a product that actually helps and is made from the highest quality ingredients, in this case 100% organic and wild crafted ingredients.
By the way, bleeding gums is an early sign of imbalance. It’s easy to restore balance at this point. Please consider going to our site and watching the video titled How to Brush Your Teeth to Reduce Gum Disease. It’s free and has some information that could help you navigate back to greater oral health.
To your health!
I’m in like.
I’ve actually been considering trying Orawellness for my receding gums. I’ve signed up for their newsletter and like their Facebook page. Thanks for doing this giveaway and getting natural dental care out there!
I’m in!
I liked Oralwellness facebook & subscribed to their newsletter!!!
I subscribed to the Oralwellness newsletter!
IS THAT FOR REAL?? How do you get one?
In other news, I signed up for both.
It’s real! I got it probably 10 years ago…my dentist at the time had gone to KU as well and I, on a whim, asked if you could tattoo a design on dental work. He said yes! Which is why I now feel no shame in asking random, weird questions…because you never know!
I signed up for the newsletter. Thanks!
Done and Done likes and signed up for the newsletter, I am intrigued since gums have always been a problem not teeth (cavities? never had one). I am super excited!
I had no idea there was an alternative. I just thought I had bad teeth! I requested the newsletter.
Hi Jen,
There is so much we can do (much of it free) to help create greater oral health!
Freedom of choice is based on knowledge of alternatives. Without choice we can’t have freedom. We can’t have freedom without the knowledge that other options exist. Unless we know that alternatives exist, we simply don’t have the options…
To your health!

I signed up for the newsletter. I hope I win…have been looking for a good( and not bad tasting( to me, like baking soda) natural oral care regime.
Jill,
Agreed on the flavor of baking soda!

“I’m loving the Brushing Blend! It makes my mouth feel alive and so clean. The blend of flavors is delicious.” ~KH, California
“I love this product! What I like most is the naturally refreshed way my mouth tastes for hours after using this product.” ~ TC, Kingston, NY

I have had bleeding gums since I was a kid. I am glad I found this post and will be researching oral wellness and follow them on Facebook
Becky,
You aren’t alone. In fact, 65% of 15 year olds have signs of active gum disease. The good news is the sign of bleeding gums is early on in the progression so is easily remedied.
To your health!
I liked the fb page! Intrigued and wouldmlove to try although I am happy with y Thieves products from Young Living!
My dentist remarked recentlynhow y teeth are so much better. I attribute this to paleo!
Hi Sarena,
Congrats on getting the dentist thumbs up! That always feels so good. Eating well definitely plays a foundational role for creating greater health, oral health included! Thieves is a good product. For the sake of clarity, I do want to draw a distinction between the thieves product line and OraWellness.
First, the products are similar in that they both are made from the highest grade of essential oils, called ‘therapeutic grade’.
The difference lies in the fact that the thieves blend is made from cinnamon, clove, etc, all of which are ‘warming’ oils. OraWellness was formulated as a balance of both warming and cooling oils.
You see, our background is in the Chinese healing arts. As such we are very aware of the concept of balance called yin and yang. My concern about long term use of an oral health product made of only warming oils (or only cooling oils for that matter) is that it could inadvertently imbalance the system and create ill health in the long run.
If you would like to read more about this line of thought, here’s a link to an article we wrote on the subject. http://www.orawellness.com/Articles/why-is-orawellness-such-a-great-product.html
To your health!

And noticed that your dentist is in South Jersey – that’s where my in laws live (specifically, they live in Mount Laurel)… we’re going there tomorrow and staying for a couple of weeks! So I might just try to go to Dr. Silver! Thanks

liked them on FB! looks like a good step towards getting rid of the chemicals in my bathroom!
I’m new in this alternative oral wellness as my 4 year old daughter has presented with 13 caries despite a relatively clean diet and oral hygiene regimen. (Her two older brothers are without any cavities at 8 and 11 years old.) Her dentist insists we fill her with metal fillings and switch to fluoride toothpaste. I was scouring the internet for alternatives when I came across your blog post. Now to go on to their webpage and see what I can’t do about getting this stuff to Canada for a try. I’ll subscribe while there and cross my fingers for a win in the draw.
Many thanks,
Brooke.
Hi Brooke,
I hear your frustration with your family circumstances. So many factors play into such situations like one child having dental issues and another seeming immune to them.
While I can’t say that your son would have the same response, here is what one family sent us about their young son’s decay.
“The dentist says the decay on our son’s front teeth has stopped. Thank you for making such a wonderful product!” ~ GS, Hawaii
So you know, we do ship to Canada regularly.
We look forward to hearing from you. Feel free to holler with questions. We’re here to help.
Done!
Many, many years ago I had a problem with tender, bleeding, and receding gums. I began gingerly brushing my gums and the roof of my mouth and my tongue. At first it was umpleasant — be gentle! — but I soon was over that unpleasantness. It toughened these areas up. I’ve exercised these areas in this way for a long time now. Gums and entire mouth are now stabilized, cleaner, and healthy. What could be more natural?
Where can we find who won?
