Guess what loves? I'm going natural! No, not with my hair. But with my teeth! I recently purchased an all natural mouthwash and tooth powder along with a natural deodorant. I'll do a review on the deodorant as well.
Okay okay so let me back up a bit. It's a well known fact that both toothpaste and mouthwash contain a lot of dangerous chemicals that can lead to cancer and other health concerns. However, because it is so heavily recommended by dentists as a way to prevent cavities, most people use it anyway. I used to be one of those people but not anymore!
So a couple of weeks ago I was scrolling through this website called WeBuyBlack (more on that in another post) and I came across a company called Garner's Garden. Let me just say, I love this company! They have a wide selection of products that are 100% all natural and I'm actually quite interested in trying them all. Okay well maybe not all of them but there's at least 10 items I'm interested in purchasing. I can do reviews on all of those too but anyway, let's get back to this review!
So the mouthwash comes in two sizes, 16 ounces and 32 ounces, with two different types, regular strength and reduced strength.. The tooth powder comes in two sizes as well, 2 ounces or 4 ounces. You can purchase them together or separately. I bought them together for $12.99.
So I placed my order and I received it about a week later. Order processing and shipping took longer than I would have liked it to but it wasn't a problem. Please note that I used these products as directed for nearly two weeks before writing this review.
Okay so guys I was so excited to receive this package! I opened it immediately and I jumped right into the bathroom to try it out.
The first thing I noticed was that my order came with a long list of instructions for using the mouthwash and tooth powder. I read through it quickly before I got started and it seemed easy enough.
Basically, it goes like this. First, you start off by swishing a small amount of mouthwash around in your mouth for about 30 seconds. Next, you add a bit of the tooth powder to your mouth and you swish that around as well. Then, you brush your teeth as you normally would but with your mouth CLOSED for about two minutes. Finally, you spit it out and finish off with a quick gargle with more mouth wash and then you're all done!
So how'd it go? The very first time I did this, it was a mess. I never realized but I'm used to brushing my teeth with my mouth open so keeping my mouth closed was definitely a problem for me. Also, I'm used to using a tooth paste not a powder/liquid combination. The hardest part (also the messiest) was trying to brush my teeth and keep the combination in my mouth. This was such a struggle because anytime I would move my toothbrush to a different section, I'd end up spitting out some of the mouth wash and powder. It actually got to the point where I had to keep some tissue underneath my mouth to catch all of it lol gross!
But OMG you guys, my mouth felt amazing afterwards! Like it left my mouth feeling so fresh and clean! Like I just couldn't help but smile. I know I looked like a fool sitting there in front of the mirror smiling all stupid but I couldn't help it. My mouth felt great!
As the week went on, it was easier for me to do it. I had to remind myself to keep my head titled downward while I brushed my teeth.
Final Thoughts: I love this stuff! It was hard adjusting to a new regimen at first but now I don't even think twice about it. I love this product but I do look forward to trying out other all natural tooth paste or powders in the future. From this day forward, I vow to never use regular toothpaste again!
Overall Product Rating: 5/5
