  1. I’m so grateful you had Dr. Michelle on as a guest and that I happened to catch the episode (I’m now subscribed so I don’t miss any of them). I recently heard of remineralizing but I’m also very particular about additional ingredients in my toothpaste. I just placed my order and am excited to start using the tooth powder, great information, as always!

    1. I was thrilled to get to chat with Dr. Michelle in depth. She’s so knowledgable and fun to talk with too. If only she lived closer! (It’s next to impossible for me to find a holistic dentist in my neck of the woods.) Let me know what you think of the toothpowder. I LOVE IT and will never go back to anything else.
