Trips to the dentist aren't something I particularly look forward to. Lying awkwardly in a chair and having someone scrutinize my gaping mouth, not to mention cringing through all the buzzing and scraping from powerful dental tools isn't the most pleasant experience if you ask me. As a child, my yearly checkup often resulted in me having to get a new cavity (or two) filled, and despite thinking I took good care of my teeth, I still had a couple more in my early adulthood. Since transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle and changing my oral hygiene routine, I have had a clean bill of dental and overall health, having significantly decreased my consumption of acidic and tooth-decaying foods such as meat, dairy and processed foods, including artificial sugar. Using exclusively plant-derived dental products void of harmful chemicals for over two years, I wanted to share what I've been loving, including some new additions from Oral Essentials: their mighty effective mouthwashes.
