Turns out, the answer is yes… …the bacteria in our mouth can actually trigger migraine.

Healthy Teeth Even If You Never Brush?

Is it possible to have healthy teeth even if you hate to brush? Yes!   In fact, in my family, I have one child who brushes sparingly and never uses any toothpaste at all. My son uses only a toothbrush and water, no toothpaste. Interestingly, the child who absolutely never uses toothpaste (the cute little guy buried in sand to the left) is the ONLY ONE OF US who has had absolutely zero cavities. Nada. None.

Here’s why: I’ve always struggled with public speaking… I had one particularly horrible experience in medical school where I …

My Fav Toothpastes…

    I love love love this toothpaste. It tastes like you dipped your toothbrush in baking soda, then squeezed a fresh lemon over the top. And that’s because that is pretty much the ingredient list on this pure, organic, high quality toothpaste. I love brushing with baking soda… washing your oral muscosa and teeth with baking soda is a fabulous way to re-set your mouth’s pH every morning and every evening… it is gentle on your teeth and neutralizing for breath, too.   I am also a big fan of just sprinkling your toothbrush with baking soda and brushing, …
