Heal Your Oral Microbiome
If I could make one change to the dental school curriculum, it would be adding this book. The author is a world-renowned oral microbiome researcher. A must-read for dentists, hygienists, and patients.

Xlear Nasal Spray
This is something I use as an adjunct to mouth taping. Use this an hour or two before bedtime with just a few squirts in the nostrils to help you nasal breathe. It’s also fantastic for the nasal oral microbiome, which is part of the oral microbiome—an essential key ingredient for optimal oral health.
Bristle Oral Microbiome At-Home Testing
I encourage everyone to get their oral microbiome tested. You understand not only your risk for conditions like tooth decay, gum inflammation, bad breath, and gut dysbiosis, but also your body’s ability to produce nitric oxide. You’ll then receive personalized oral care and diet recommendations to balance your microbiome and improve your oral and overall health. Use code “DRB” for 10% off.
Pique Tea
I love these little tea packets and I take them with me everywhere. They triple-screen for heavy metals, pesticides, and toxic mold. You have to be careful about whatever tea you’re drinking because the plant absorbs these things from the soil. I love tea for its impact on the oral microbiome, and supporting demineralization. It’s a wonderful treat. The non-caffeinated flavor I love is Rooibos and the caffeinated one I drink is called Fermented Pu’er Green Tea.
Monkfruit Extract
Beware—there are many “monkfruit” options on Amazon, but this is the only one that is 100% monkfruit and doesn’t contain erythritol, which is damaging the gut microbiome. I love monkfruit because sugar is tremendously damaging to oral health and is a driver of chronic disease. If you have a sweet tooth, this is the way to go. Add it to your coffee or use it for baking. A little bit goes a long way.
The Oral Health Probiotic by Bristle
Modulate oral bacteria for better breath, gums, and teeth with a daily mint. It contains beneficial strains and natural ingredients to rebalance your mouth’s microbiome. Invest in your health by prioritizing oral care. Poor oral health is linked to systemic conditions like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Six clinically studied probiotic strains combat bad breath and gum inflammation. High bacterial concentration and clean ingredients make it effective. Xylitol fights cavity-causing bacteria and reduces tooth decay risk.
Basic Bites L-Arginine Chews
This is a very easy way to get an active form of arginine into the saliva to help with remineralization of the teeth and oral microbiome. Great for kids and adults.
Pure Encapsulations Nitric Oxide Ultra (Capsules)
Healing is all about getting blood to the wound, whether it’s surgical or unintentional. And nitric oxide is the key to improving blood flow to any part of the body. We lose the ability produce nitric oxide after age 40 and the oral microbiome is part of that equation. Tremendously important to supplement!
