With the launch of our new product solution, OraWellness Shine, we have been getting a lot of questions on what’s the best way to use our products, particularly how to use our products with one another to provide the most support. So, while we normally like to dive into all sorts of other subjects in this complex field of oral health, today, let’s address the unspoken question behind a lot of other questions… “I’ve happily used your HealThy Mouth Blend for years and now you have OraWellness Shine dental vacuum forming machine. Do I need both?” If you’ve been reading our work for a while, you already know that, first and foremost, we’re here to help. Sure, we have products we find benefit from using that we offer for purchase, but most important to us is that you gain some benefit from reading our work. In other words, whether you choose to purchase our products or not really doesn’t matter to us. What matters is whether you gain some insight from our articles, ebooks, expert interviews that helps you mobile dental unit. So with that in mind, would you benefit from using both our HealThy Mouth Blend and Shine? It depends. Here’s why… Principle behind the HealThy Mouth Blend – Rebalancing the ‘oral flora’ We created the HealThy Mouth Blend to help the world avoid the progressive destruction of gum disease. We realized that a mouth where gum disease is thriving is out of balance. All the signs of gum disease like bleeding gums, red, swollen gums, chronic bad breath, etc are all screaming signs of a mouth desperately in need of rebalancing. Secondarily, we wanted the HealThy Mouth Blend to provide some help to stop tooth decay. The reason our HealThy Mouth Blend works so well is because is helps us manage our oral microbiome, or as we like to call it, our blend helps us be a ‘good conductor of the symphony in our mouths’. Specifically, the HealThy Mouth Blend works on a biological level. Principle behind the development of OraWellness Shine – Remineralize At the very core of our research for OraWellness Shine, we wanted a product solution that would help provide the minerals our teeth need to be strong and cavity free. (For a more detailed explanation of Shine, check out this helpful video.) This is a very different approach than our HealThy Mouth Blend that helps address the microbial balance in our mouths. OraWellness Shine provides the necessary building blocks that our teeth are made of to stop existing tooth decay while protecting against future decay, all intended to better support the health of our teeth. You could say that our HealThy Mouth Blend is for healthy gums and OraWellness Shine is for healthy teeth. While a bit overly simplistic, this description is heading in the right direction. Another way we can look at this is our HealThy Mouth Blend helps through a biological approach (helping to address the balance of microbes) and Shine helps on the ‘chemistry’ level (by supplying the minerals in the right combination and particle size). And since half of our readers are children, (or parents there of), and find the HealThy Mouth Blend a bit “too spicy”, we created OraWellness Shine to provide a wonderful alternative to help protect kid’s developing teeth.  Should Loose Primary Teeth Be Pulled? for more information.
