Holistic Home Care
At Well Being Dentistry, we believe that the work we do in the office is only half of the equation. The products you use every day—from your toothpaste to your sleep aids—dictate the health of your oral microbiome and your systemic wellness.
Fluoride-Free Enamel Repair: Hydroxyapatite & nHAp Products
For patients looking to remineralize enamel and prevent decay without the use of fluoride, we recommend products that utilize Hydroxyapatite and Xylitol to balance oral pH.
Periodontal & Gum Health
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy body. These tools help manage the biofilm and inflammation that lead to systemic issues.
Nasal Hygiene & Mouth Taping: Tools for Better Sleep & Breathing
Biological dentistry emphasizes the importance of nasal breathing. If your nose is blocked, you are likely mouth-breathing, which dries out the mouth and increases cavity risk. Nasal breathing also boosts Nitric Oxide (NO) production—a natural vasodilator and immune system enhancer that supports overall oral and systemic health.
Xlear Nasal Spray
Formulated with Xylitol to reduce nasal inflammation and wash away allergens.
NeilMed Sinus Rinse
A saline-based system to keep the sinuses clear and healthy.
Breathe Right Nasal Strips & Mute Nasal Dilators
Encourages oxygenation and reduces mouth breathing that causes dry mouth.
Mute™ Nasal Dilators
Ideal for nasal collapse or deviated septum, supporting oxygen intake during sleep.
Sleep Tape: The Secret to Better Sleep
Mouth-breathing during sleep is a major driver of TMJ pain and sleep apnea. Sleep tape gently encourages the lips to stay closed, promoting healthy nasal breathing.
Oral Probiotics & Prebiotics
Just like your gut, your mouth needs “good” bacteria to stay healthy. Xylitol, a non-fermentable sugar, cannot be metabolized by harmful oral bacteria, effectively starving them while supporting the growth of beneficial strains. These products help repopulate the oral microbiome and maintain a balanced, healthy mouth.
Homeopathic Surgical Care: StellaLife & Post-Op Healing
If you are recovering from a biological extraction or SMART mercury removal, we recommend these homeopathic solutions for faster healing. StellaLife acts as a selective antimicrobial, targeting harmful pathogens while preserving the beneficial oral flora, supporting a balanced and healthy recovery.
Aligner & Retainer Care
Keep your orthodontic appliances clean and your treatment on track with these specialized tools.
Why We Recommend These Products
Every item on this list follows the Precautionary Principle. We avoid products containing:
- SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate): Which can cause canker sores.
- Artificial Colors/Flavors: Which can disrupt the oral microbiome.
- Alcohol: Which dries out the mouth and kills beneficial bacteria.
Where Can I Find These?
Most of these items are available for purchase directly at our office during your visit!
Frequently Asked Questions: Holistic Home Care
Why does Well Being Dentistry recommend fluoride-free toothpaste?
We prioritize remineralizing your teeth using Hydroxyapatite (found in brands like FYGG). Hydroxyapatite is a naturally occurring mineral that makes up 97% of your tooth enamel. Unlike fluoride, it is 100% biocompatible and non-toxic, strengthening your teeth by bonding to the enamel without disrupting your systemic health.
What is "Mouth Taping," and is it safe?
Mouth taping, using products like SomniFix or MyoTape, is a gentle way to encourage nasal breathing during sleep. Mouth breathing dries out the oral microbiome, increases acidity, and spikes cavity risk. By gently keeping the lips closed, you promote oxygenation, reduce snoring, and protect your teeth from nighttime decay.
How do oral probiotics differ from regular gut probiotics?
The mouth has its own unique ecosystem. While gut probiotics support digestion, oral probiotics like ProBiora introduce specific “beneficial” bacteria strains back into the mouth. These healthy bacteria crowd out the strains responsible for bad breath, plaque buildup, and gum inflammation, helping to balance your oral microbiome naturally.
Why should I avoid "Standard" mouthwashes and toothpastes?
Many commercial products contain SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), alcohol, and artificial dyes. These ingredients can cause canker sores, dry out your tissues, and kill the “good” bacteria your mouth needs to stay healthy. We recommend homeopathic alternatives like StellaLife because they support healing and reduce inflammation without the harsh chemical “burn.”
What are mechanical nasal aids like Mute and Breathe Right used for?
Biological dentistry is airway-focused. If your nasal passages are restricted, your body defaults to mouth breathing. Breathe Right strips (external) and Mute dilators (internal) mechanically open the nasal airway, ensuring you get maximum oxygenation during sleep—a critical component of recovering from dental procedures and maintaining long-term wellness.
