I may be dating myself but does anyone remember Danny DeVito’s incarnation of Penguin in Batman Returns? He oozed this pitch black goo out of his mouth. Ugh!

Never did I think that I would be happily recreating that scene in my bathroom twice daily! It has become one of my very favorite few mins of the day. I contacted Stacy with Well Scent to ask a few questions about her dental line a few weeks back. I had already read many reviews online and was already pretty sold on it. I snapped some before shots before the product even arrived, knowing that I don’t have enough patience to do that once it got to my front door. I ordered both dental oils (Watch Your Mouth and Just for Grins) to try, Shine (the dental exfoliant and remineralizer) to put a good polish on my teeth, and Sparkle – Natural Dental Detox and Whitening which intrigued me the most. I love the flavor of both oils, neither is too hot even with the cinnamon and clove oils.

Watch Your Mouth is a bolder flavor and includes Peppermint. Just for Grins excludes Peppermint and is ideal if you use homeopathic remedies. Personally my current favorite is Just for Grins, however, I tend to like variety in my tooth pastes and have been going back and forth depending on my mood and whether or not I’m popping any Arnica… (Because I tend to run into things and get some decent bruises, I do like including Homeopathic Remedies). Both Well Scent Dental Blends are super powerful! They also doesn’t burn, even if you have a cut. Try placing a drop on your tooth brush and brush your tongue lightly, let the oil sit until your final rinse, and optional but recommended, use a tongue scraper.

Shine! It’s like having a tiny dental hygienist in a little jar. Is that creepy? No, okay good, you get it. I usually hate the pumice polishing at the dentist because I just can’t rinse out my mouth enough. Shine is a super fine powder and again comes in both peppermint and unflavored. I add a few drops of either the Watch Your Mouth or Just for Grins and dip the very tip of my toothbrush in the polishing powder. I scrub in circular motion all over and my teeth feel smoother in just days. I imagine that this would recreate a professional dental cleaning really well.

~`*Sparkle*`~ Okay, I am not a stranger to activated charcoal, I have used toothpastes that included activated charcoal as an ingredient. My husbands favorite toothpaste (before Well Scent arrived) was a paste made with essential oils and charcoal. While he generally liked it, it just didn’t noticeably whiten!

I have had no tenderness in my gums with Shine, which is unheard of for me. I have a slight sensitivity on the teeth themselves, I believe this is just getting used to brushing a bit more than usual. It is not uncomfortable or anything like whitening at the dentist.

The cost of the products was the one thing that initially caused me to wait on placing my order, but now that I have actually tried the dental line from Well Scent (and now adore!), I can tell you that it’s worth it. I usually allocate a certain amount of our monthly budget for dental, and while in the past 100% of this went to our dentist, I have since decided to earmark some of it towards products that approach dental care holistically!
