Your gut microbiome affects way more than digestion. It helps regulate inflammation and immune function, and when it’s out of balance, it can show up in your mouth too. Bad breath, irritated gums, and a coated tongue can be signs your oral microbiome is struggling, since your mouth and gut are connected through the same immune system and digestive tract.

Supporting your gut can also support oral health by helping your body manage inflammation and defend against harmful bacteria. doTERRA PB Restore is designed to help replenish beneficial bacteria and support digestive and immune health. That can help your microbiome stay more balanced, which supports overall wellness from the inside out.

If you are looking for a Holistic Dentist with your health in mind, Come see us our office is in Pleasant Grove, Utah in Utah County, Located near the doTERRA Headquarters.

Step inside The Essential Dentist, where dentistry feels more like a wellness studio than a typical office. In this quick tour, you’ll see how we create a calm, spa-like experience with sound therapy and doTERRA essential oils, so even the “I hate the dentist” crowd can finally exhale.

We’re also a seriously high-tech practice.

This is what happens when a dentist takes Halloween way too seriously… and 3D prints his own vampire teeth. 🧛‍♂️ In this video, you’ll see the full transformation from regular smile to custom vampire fangs using a CEREC “3D printing” system, digital scans, design, milling, and cementing all done chairside in a single session. No cheap plastic costume teeth, just fully custom, reversible veneers made specifically for a one-night Halloween fun! Watch the process start to finish: Halloween makeup time-lapse, close-ups of the CEREC workflow, and the final vampire reveal with full glam. If your dentist offered custom 3D-printed fangs, would you book the appointment? Let me know in the comments, hit like if you’d try this, and follow for more wild cosmetic dentistry transformations and behind-the-scenes smile experiments.

Clove essential oil is basically a spicy little powerhouse in a bottle. Its warm, woody, and sweet, with that classic “clove” aroma you recognize from gums and candies. It’s long been used in dental products for its flavor and mouth-cleansing properties and even helps clean the teeth and gums when added to your routine. When taken internally, Clove oil can offer powerful antioxidant benefits and support healthy digestive, nervous, and cardiovascular systems, thanks in part to key components like eugenol and β-caryophyllene.* 

You can get creative with how you use it: add a drop to your toothpaste to help clean teeth and freshen breath, diffuse three to four drops for a cozy, spicy atmosphere, or dilute it in a carrier oil for a warming, energizing massage. For internal use, one drop in a Veggie Cap or at least two ounces of water, always properly diluted and used with care.* And because it’s potent, diluting one drop in 10 drops of carrier oil for topical use and keeping it away from eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas. 

Want to upgrade your oral care routine with options like doTERRA Clove while keeping your smile healthy and bright? Call our dental office or send us a DM to schedule your next visit and ask us how we can incorporate these natural tools into your care.
