New year, new post!
Y’all know that finding non toxic products is an obsession of mine. This time I will be talking to you guys about this Dr. Brite natural toothpaste, the flavors, and plus a lil surprise.
I have to be honest with you. The holidays where much more overwhelming than I thought they would be. I had blog posts and photoshoots planned and suddenly December is here and it was all a haze. I am just now catching up. Anyways, I am here now and in case you have not heard about Dr. Brite, here’s the 4-1-1.
the brand
Created by two sisters who are doctors, they wanted toxin-free and effective oral care safe for the whole family. Their products are made with plant-based ingredients and have no artificial colors, sweeteners or synthetic ingredients. This is really, my dream come true and all that I’m looking for in every product I get. I love how passionate they are about making great quality products and the fact that they are doctors is definitely reassuring.
A very important thing about this brand is that they are fluoride free. My brother had done a lot of research about how fluoride messes with your pineal gland. This is the part of your brain that gets activated during meditation and is actually considered the third eye. In fact, there is quite some research about fluoride and why it is not really all that good.
This was always on my mind when I ran out of toothpaste. But I was adamant to try a natural toothpaste because I was scared my mouth wouldn’t feel clean. At one point I tried Tom’s and I started getting stains on my teeth, no bueno. But now that I tried Dr. Brite and read their ingredient list , it was to good to pass out on the opportunity. And did I mention that they are cruelty free, EWG certified, vegan and gluten free? Well, there you go.
the products
I’ve been using the Mint toothpaste for a little less than a month and my teeth already look whiter! And even though the toothpaste doesn’t foam, it is so not necessary, contrary to what we are made to believe. My teeth have never felt cleaner and if it makes any sense I can feel it when I rub my tongue against them. They feel so smooth.
Since I love the whitening factor on this one, thanks to the activated charcoal, this one is my favorite. The minty flavor is subtle and the texture is very creamy. Once you start brushing it spreads around easily, and you don’t miss the foam.
Aside from the mint flavor, they also have a other fun flavors. I tried Mint Chip, which has a chocolatey after taste, Coco Chai, which really tastes like chai tea, and Berrylicious, which is my second favorite , tastes like candy. The flavors are really subtle though, but I imagine this makes it more fun for kids to brush their teeth.
teeth whitening pen
Now, I need to really talk to you about Dr. Brite Stain B-Gone Teeth Whitening Pen. You guys, my teeth have never been confused with pearls, but I have always wished they would :(. And now that I’m an avid coffee drinker, staining my teeth is a concern. So when the Dr. Brite team mentioned this whitening pen, I got so pumped up.
I had tried those Crest whitening strips in the past, but they made my teeth super sensitive. And since this is a common occurrence when whitening your teeth with these kind of products, I basically gave up. Until I found this pen, since it has nothing but good stuff to help your teeth get whiter. Such good stuff that you can swallow it without any concern.
how to use
It comes in a clear gel presentation, and the pen presentation makes it very easy to use and carry. Just twist the bottom to get the product out and then you just rub it on your dry teeth. I have been applying it morning and night and leaving it for 2-3 minutes. After the time has passed you can just close your mouth and swallow the gel. No need to rinse. By using plant based and non toxic ingredients, there is no sensitivity to worry about. It doesn’t have a specific taste I can identify, but it is not a strong flavor.
If you love to get your coffee and wine, I definitely recommend getting one of these babies. You can have it on hand after you drink your wine glass and just apply it real quick. It is a really great product that every coffee and wine lover needs to have.
You can check the products on their website drbrite.com
Now I wish everyone white teeth and a happy great start to the new year!
