227. DENTAL PRO TIPS: Whitening teeth naturally, how to reverse & prevent cavities, dental products to avoid, what bleeding gums really mean & why you should be taping your mouth during sleep.

We all want whiter teeth...duh...but there's much more to the story than slapping on some Crest white strips. (Spoiler: I don't recommend these) And in my opinion, oral health in general doesn't get the spotlight that it deserves in the overall wellness conversation. In this episode we are turning on that spotlight and getting into the deeper story of why oral health is so critical!

I (Mimi) am a registered dental hygienist, certified tooth nerd and holistic health enthusiast. Today we share 5 dental health pro tips and answer a bunch of questions you all submitted on instagram.

In this episode:

  • Why you should pay attention to your bleeding gums
  • Which floss and toothpaste to avoid
  • My best recommendations on toothbrush, floss, toothpastes & rinses
  • How to best support your internal "invisible toothbrush"
  • Does having straight teeth matter?
  • Whitening products I do and don't recommend
  • Can you reverse cavities?
  • Are root canals really that bad?
  • and SO MUCH MORE

The Medicin is all about creating deep, healthy, passionate love - with your partner AND yourself. They are not separate. We know from direct experience.

We (Mimi + Chase) were childhood sweethearts, married in our early 20's, spent 3 yrs of marriage figuring out that we had nothing figured out. In 2016 we actually separated + legally divorced, thinking we'd never see each other again. And after 3 yrs of intense self-development, discovery + personal epiphanies, we organically reunited in 2019 - with a whole new outlook on love, Source + the real Medicins of this life.

Now we are passionate about helping others create fulfilling relationships + lives by digging into the transformation work waiting to happen inside each of us. Healthy relationships start with a healthy YOU, and we are here to help - uncovering + discovering with you.
