Question: How do I use OraMD to help with bad breath?

Question: My toothbrush is falling apart when I use OraMD.
Answer: Some cheaper brushes use plastic bristles, which will not hold up to the potency of OraMD’s powerful botanical oils. Make sure to use a brush with soft nylon bristles. Most name brand brushes are made of this material. Rinse the brush thoroughly with warm water after brushing.
Question: Can I use a Water Pik with OraMD?
Answer: Water Irrigators aid in flushing out the bacteria and pockets. Our suggestion is to use the irrigator prior to brushing with OraMD. OraMD is an oil and will separate from the water or sit on top of it if you use it in the irrigator. However , if you do use OraMD in the irrigator you should be sure to flush your oral irrigator with medium to hot water for 20-30 seconds after use. This is again because some plastic components will not stand up to the potency of OraMD’s powerful botanicals. This could potentially void any warranty you might have if you don’t flush it with the medium hot water.

Question: Since OraMD does not have fluoride, how can I stop cavities?
Answer: Independent studies have shown that even though fluoride has been recommended for decades for prevention of tooth decay, it actually does absolutely nothing to prevent the formation of cavities. In fact, fluoride has never been approved by the FDA and is actually only slightly more poisonous than lead and slightly less poisonous than arsenic when consumed. It’s been banned in 97% of the water supply of Europe and three countries over there have completely banned the use of fluoride. It’s a toxic waste material of the Agriculture Industry and there is tons of information on the internet about it. Just search dangers of fluoride. We don’t use it because it is linked to cancer and all kinds of other problems.
Question: How can I keep my teeth white?

Typically, this strong taste subsides within a week of use as directed. If you still feel it is too strong, we recommend using the mouthwash application by diluting 2-5+ drops in an ounce of water and using that to rinse, swish, and gargle or wet the toothbrush first and use few drops when starting out.
Question: Should I rinse after using it?
Answer: No, allow the oils to absorb in your mouth. Some people really want to rinse – if so, it’s ok to rinse but better if you don’t.
