More parents are realizing that they have been sold a bill of goods when it comes to fluoride. Local counties around America are still dumping it in our water supplies after SEVENTY FOUR STUDIES showed a positive association between fluoride exposure and lower IQ scores in children.
From an article in trusted FluorideAlert.org:
• As of May 2022, a total of 83 human studies have investigated the relationship between fluoride and human intelligence.
• Of these investigations, 74 studies have reported that elevated fluoride exposure is associated with reduced IQ in humans.
• The studies which reported an association of reduced IQ with exposure to fluoride, are based on IQ/cognitive examinations of 27,174 children (71 studies) and 689 adults (3 studies).
• The Mother-Offspring fluoride studies provide compelling evidence that fluoride exposure during the prenatal and postnatal of life can damage a child’s developing brain.
• There are 9 studies that did not find an association between fluoride and IQ.
And this last part is the CLENCHER.
FluorideAlert.org did a breakdown of those 9 measly studies alleged to show that fluoride had little to no effect on children’s IQ’s and the in depth look at how they were run may be the most damning evidence of all to convince doubters that this shit should not be in your kid’s bodies in any form.
Here’s an example: “The study from New Zealand (Broadbent 2015) reports no association between fluoridation and IQ. As recognized by Dr. Philippe Grandjean, there are several glaring problems with this study, however, including the fact that virtually all of the children in the “non-fluoridated” community used fluoride supplements (a prescription drug designed to deliver the same amount of fluoride a child would get from drinking fluoridated water).”
Does that sound like a placebo group to you?
If you have to bend and manipulate the control group to get the outcome you want, you aren’t doing science. You are marketing.
And here’s one more example from the same article: “The study by Li (2010) did not compare a high fluoride area against a low-fluoride area. Instead, it compared the IQs of children with dental fluorosis in a high-fluoride area with the IQs of children without dental fluorosis in the same high-fluoride area.”
Again, all children had equal exposure to fluoride, but several had more acute symptoms of their exposure. That’s how they divided up the study. How is that a clear control group?
These are just a few of the reasons our family decided that finding a non fluoridated dental care program was imperative.
As I researched dental care, I came across the Weston A Price Association. Weston was a dentist in the turn of the last century when grains started being subsidized for commercial use in America. Weston noticed a rapid evolution of shrinking jaws and increased cavities in his otherwise healthy patients at the time, and he wondered about the cause. Weston started traveling around the world looking at diets of indigenous people and how their diets seemed to effect not only their teeth but the entire framework of their jaw structures. He did oral examination and took photos of the mouths and jaws of people along his travels while noting their diets. Weston noticed that certain diets were linked to better bone density and wider jaw structure and an increase in overall oral health than those in westernized societies with sugars and other processed grains already causing extreme changes in the mouths of his local American patients.
I learned through his work that diet played a big role in oral health. Furthermore, I started to try out a recipe for remineralizing toothpowder which contained calcium and some detoxifying ingredients which I taught myself to make at home. I thought to myself- what the heck. At this time, I didn’t have a lot of money so I stopped going to the dentist. All of our money went to using the GAPS diet to help my son recover from symptoms of autism. At the time, I also started studying plant based medicine, particularly essential oils relative to health properties. I began to add oils to our family toothpowder to help with our overall oral care.
Now, I want to give a little back story. About a year prior to studying Weston A Price looking for answers to my children’s health issues, I found a crater in one of my back teeth. I even took a toothpick once in my bathroom mirror and poked the toothpick right into the hole in my back left tooth. So, without money for a good dentist, I thought I would try diet and remineralizing ingredients in my toothpowder for myself. I had a sense of skepticism about the whole thing thinking, this probably won’t help my situation but it’s worth a try. Mainly, I wanted to use these ingredients for the sake of my kids growing healthy teeth, bones and brains. I wasn’t so hopeful about undoing the bad habits of a 40 year old adult.
A year later, having started eating better and using my homemade toothpowder, I found a Groupon for a dentist teeth cleaning and exam. I was nervous about what she would say about my back tooth which I assumed still had that hole in it from a year ago. All I saw were $$$. After doing a deep cleaning and thorough exam, the dentist reported zero cavities. I said, “check again, back on the left.” I pointed to it, “Right here! This one had a hole in it, and I put a toothpick through it last year.” She looked at me with incredulity. There was no cavity.
I shouted, “I healed it!”
She looked at me with astonishment. She assumed I never had a cavity to begin with. So, I explained to her that teeth can heal themselves if the body is given the proper care and diet. I told her where to start her own investigation into this. She seemed doubtful about what I was saying, and rather unenthusiastic to find out more. Reasonable, considering finding out people can heal their own cavities while one is in the business of filling cavities. It’s not like she was going to run out and learn the thing that could possibly end her career.
There are holistic dentists. Weston A Price was a pioneer in the field, but that’s a whole other study that 100 years later the mainstream dental associations continue to ignore.
More to the point, this was the moment I went from being a skeptic to a true believer in natural tooth care and remineralization.
I have been making toothpowder at home for my family for almost 10 years, but on a lark last year, started offering my formula to the public for sale. I am still making the smaller batches that I made for my family. Supplies are always limited. I was surprised about the instant demand and feedback I got in this little business venture. I have been thinking about if or how I might want to scale this ever since.
Recently, I was investigating competitive pricing and ran across a key ingredient in a tooth powder I had never learned of. This ingredient was matcha! Well, I always keep a large stash of pure, organic matcha in my kitchen and drink it as often as I can tolerate. It’s fairly bitter tasting, and my kids want nothing to do with it as a beverage.
I had no idea it had so many oral care benefits. I started looking into it and learned matcha reduces the bacteria in the mouth that causes cavities, gingivitis and even oral thrush. It also freshens breath! Now, I can hide the flavor in my toothpowder so my children can receive the benefits of matcha in their tooth brushing regimen, without the grimaces they give me before spitting out the countless teas I’ve tried to prepare them.
I am currently going through a rebranding to sell these products locally in neighborhood boutiques. I was doing this just as I learned to add the power of matcha to my formula. I am currently nearing the end of experimentation and pricing of my new labels. So much fun!
However, you can pre-order today to make sure you get your order within two weeks time. I expect to have my formula kid tested and approved with all my new labels in the next two weeks. I still make the product in the same small “family sized” batches as I have only small kitchen appliances presently available for blending ingredients. For this reason, you definitely want to pre-order to be the first to get the new improved formula with the same ingredients, flavor and benefits that our kids and customers have come to love!
Again, supplies are limited.
Don’t wait until you run out. Order your Merry Mouth now!

I also now have an order form for customers in Western Europe and Australia!
Oh my gosh so true! Kids and adults don’t need more fluoride! I don’t even go to dentist anymore how do use fluoride.😝. It’s so so toxic! Not to mention all the other crap like mouthwashes that destroys the good bacteria in our mouths.
I love love love this article share… As soon as I’m done with my natural teeth cleaning products and then I purchased a while back… I’m definitely buying yours! Currently I just use a lot of oils from a company called a living libations and also another company called Ruhpam rituals (I think 🤔). I also use my friend’s toothpaste from her and her sister’s startup (B-Corp) Brite Smile, when I want a little tooth scrubbing action (baking soda in it).
They are pricey, but worth it.
However, The cool thing about your product is that not only is it mineralizing, it will also give me that tooth exfoliate her I’m looking for… And all this for a fraction of the price! Plus I know that it’s home made with love!
