Hello Mojito Mint Toothpaste for intense freshness!


Hello is a brand of ADA (American Dental Society) accepted dental products that you
may not be aware of yet.  They have several different interesting flavors of fluoride toothpaste, mouthwash, and breath sprays such as Pink Grapefruit Mint, Supermint, and the variety I received with Mojito Mint.

Brushing with Hello Mojito Mint toothpaste blasts your mouth with intense cool, mint freshness while making your teeth feel exceptionally clean.  The wonderful taste of it will make you probably want to brush longer.  

Yet, it also has something I did not like about this product–the container.  The first thing you will notice is the toothpaste comes in a plastic bottle that stands instead of a conventional tube.  This makes getting the product out harder than squeezing from a tube.  Furthermore, it makes it nearly impossible to get the product out later with more use.

The Hello Mouthwash and Breath Spray in Moijto Mint were excellent picks for total breath freshness, especially great to have on hand for Valentine’s Day readiness for all that kissing you’re going to do.

Are You Risking That Dazzling Smile by Brushing at the Wrong Time?

You know the drill if you want to preserve those pearly whites and keep that dazzling smile.  Brush your teeth after every meal or at least twice a day and remember to floss.  However, did you also know that you may be risking damage to your teeth's enamel if you brush too soon, especially after eating acidic foods like citrus, tomatoes, soda, and wine?

Anything acidic can soften the surface of your teeth, eroding the enamel all the way to the inner dentin layer.   If you brush immediately after eating such foods, you will be grinding toothpaste, a corrosive substance, against your weakened teeth.  Compounding the problem is the bristles of your brush wearing down that vulnerable enamel as well.  

Still, worse damage can be had from vigorous brushing to further the severity.  Consider buying a toothbrush with soft bristles over hard ones is a good preventive measure.

Yet, there is a solution to this frightening scenario.  The best course of action is to simply wait at least thirty minutes up to an hour before brushing to give your saliva enough time to neutralize the acidity.  The saliva is what helps harden the teeth back to normal.

If you can't stand a dirty mouth, rinse your mouth out after directly eating with plain water or eat a small piece of cheese is a good way to help prolong the wait.  You also try freshening up with chewing a piece of sugar-free gum.

How to Safely Whiten Your Teeth Cheaply at Home!

If you want to whiten your teeth safely and inexpensively at home, you definitely need to try this technique.   I promise you it works better than some of the commercial whiteners, which are expensive and sometimes make you gag. 

I discovered this accidently when I had to get the crown that I had so much trouble with and wrote about in the importance of getting a second opinion needed to come out.  The oral surgeon told me to gargle every six hours with one teaspoon of salt to a glass a water to help the healing process after that tooth was removed.  I did this treatment for several weeks until my appointment.  However, you will start to see an improvement with continued use much sooner than you realize.

I started to notice how bright my smile was becoming.   Honestly, I watched how my teeth went whiter much better than anything I tried previously in commercial form.

Even when I finished with that problem, I continued to gargle.  I like one teaspoon to a cup of water.  This is a bit stronger, but I do this at least once a day.  My regular dentist even noticed the beautiful difference and complimented me.

Avoid Brushing Mistakes and Save Your Teeth!

According to the American Dental Society, most people are unknowingly damaging their teeth and gums when they brush because they are doing it wrong. 

To start, some of us don't brush long enough.  The average person spends less than a minute brushing instead of the recommended two to three minutes to thoroughly clean your teeth.

Another mistake is pressing your brush too hard against your teeth and gums.  This is dangerous because you can be wearing away enamel close to the gum line and exposing your teeth to serious irreparable damage. 

Believe it or not, the amount of toothpaste you put on your brush can be a factor if you are brushing your teeth correctly.  The best amount to use is a pea-size amount instead of loading up your brush with paste. 

Too much paste is especially bad for children because too much fluoride can turn teeth gray.

The type of toothbrush you use can be a mistake if you always use hard stiff bristles.  Buy soft bristle toothbrushes instead and you will more likely protect both enamel and gums from bleeding.

If you are lazy and don't replace that worn out toothbrush, then you can run into problems.  Replace your brush every three months because they can turn porous and become a great home for bacteria, which can lead to gum disease and infection. 

I don't know about you, but I was surprised at the importance of what just a little adjusting of your dental routine can do to safeguard your teeth.  I do hope this information helps you as well!
