6 Reasons to Scrape Your Tongue

This is a very TARGETED probiotic for oral health specifically. It contains the specific bugs you need for a healthy oral microbiome. This is an essential part to resetting the oral microbiome. Plus, you chew it or let it dissolve in your mouth instead of swallow it so the bugs get to where they need to go.

Most dry mouth happens due to mouth breathing at night when your mouth falls open. I mouth tape myself at night, every night, no matter what—even if I have a stuffy nose. Nexcare is my favorite brand, but honorable mention goes to Somnifix which is my wife’s favorite—the difference with Somnifix is that it’s a little more expensive and has a vent.

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 15% off.

Nothing wrong with the metal tongue scrapers, but I love these ones by BreathRx because they’re super slim, cheap, and easy to travel with. Plus, there are four settings—if you’re new to tongue scraping, start out on the softest setting!

My wife and I won’t travel without them. Doesn’t matter where you travel—even bottled water contains fluoride and other chemicals. Just because it’s bottled water doesn’t mean it’s safe.

This is such an easy thing to do to protect your child’s brain. A MUST for kids going to school or daycare. Both my grandkids got these as gifts. This water bottle filters out fluoride along with heavy metals, pesticides, etc. Read my blog post on how fluoride affects IQ.

This is the best, easiest, cheapest way to filter one of the worst neurotoxins out of our water: fluoride. I use mine every day.

This is the most expensive option and will set you back several thousands, but here’s why I have one: you get a lower monthly operating cost, it’s great for well water, and it filters everything out (most importantly, fluoride) for the enter household. Don’t go with this option if you’re renting!

This thing changes the game when it comes to flossing. I’m a fan of floss sticks in general since they eliminate the hassle of manual floss—plus, Alzheimer’s runs in my family which is my main driver for flossing (personally). This device takes it to the next level with a vibratory motion that improves plaque disruption. Use code “askthedentist” for 10% off.

Coated in hydroxyapatite, a fluoride alternative added to toothpaste. There haven’t been any studies on hydroxyapatite floss, but since hydroxyapatite is proven effective in toothpaste, why not get all the remineralization help you can get? My readers save 10% with code ASKTHEDENTIST.

100% silk, which you can add to your compost. Mint flavor. Only downside of silk is that it breaks more easily. Comes in an ultra-mini reusable glass container which is excellent for travel or on-the-go.

Water flossers make it easier to floss around dental work. Some people just prefer how water flossers feel. Since they tend to be expensive and wear out, I tested all the Waterpik knock-offs. This one was by far my favorite. For more, watch my unboxing video on YouTube.
