I just found out one of the reasons I struggled with cavities for years: I have an autoimmune disease which causes dry mouth, and was depleted by stress and further health issues.
I ended up with 11 cavities a few years ago despite great oral hygiene. I finally ordered many of your products at that time, including several containers of Shine.
Within 3 months, 10 of the cavities were gone and only the oldest deepest one needed a filling. The hygienist thought I must have had those cavities filled elsewhere as they were gone.
I have continued to use your products and in the 3 years since then, have no new cavities, continued great gum health and very little plaque at my dental visits.
I love the smooth feel of the oil blend on my teeth, and it feels good to know that I can prevent cavities despite this autoimmune condition. Thank you!
UPDATE:
Tara reached out to us again via email to share the following additional info:
I noticed my testimonial on https://orawellness.com/holistic-oral-health-solutions-as-disruptive-technology/
With the quote: “Did Tara’s dental team simply misdiagnose her need for all of those fillings or did something else happen?”
While we know your products solved my problem and the question was rhetorical anyway, in case you want more info as proof the dentist did not misdiagnose, here are some more details (the whole story):
I had gone to one dentist from 2014 to 2018 with Xrays and yearly dental exams showing 10, then 11 cavities, consistently every year. I was reluctant to get that many fillings so I worked hard to try to improve the situation myself. It didn’t work.
I ordered your products and used Shine and Brushing Blend. After 3 months of using Shine, I got Xrays, Cone Beam scan and exam at completely different dental office, where they compared previous Xrays and dental records. They couldn’t explain where 10 of the cavities went and they assumed I had got them filled elsewhere. I then had only the one deepest oldest cavity filled.
I considered keeping copies of my before and after Xrays as proof, but the dentist said that even old/healed cavities can show up as similar dark spots, so it wasn’t worth bothering.
Since 2018, I have had no new cavities and my gums have improved. Very little plaque and only 1-3mm pockets, with lots of 1mm in 2023. The experienced hygienist said they hadn’t seen gums this good at the office in years!
November 2023 UPDATE:
I’ve shared my big success already, and have some little updates. (Since 2018, your Shine powder healed my 10 cavities in 3 months and has kept them away since, and your Brushing Blend reduced my gum pockets to 1-3mm, the best gums the hygienist had seen in years!)
I keep hearing from people that my teeth are so white and they want to know how I whiten my teeth. Yet I used to have translucent teeth that stain easily. I think your Shine powder strengthens my enamel to increase opaque whiteness and prevent staining. Maybe the brushing blend helps to clean well, too.
I realized when reading your email that I also use the oil blend for other things. When travelling, or for convenience, rather than have multiple essential oils on hand, I use the oil blend for bug bites, acne, sore throat, freshening up a hotel room/airplane/mask, and more.
