🪥 Let’s talk TOOTHPASTE! 🦷

Not all toothpastes are created equal! Here’s what I recommend looking for:

🦷 Fluoride or Hydroxyapatite: Remineralization is KEY! Strengthen enamel and help prevent cavities.

🌿 Baking Soda: Neutralizes acids, gently removes stains, and helps balance oral pH.

💧 Xylitol: A tooth-friendly natural that doesn’t feed cavity-causing bacteria hence minimizing acids.

🧂 Sea Salt & Minerals: Can support cleaning, while calcium and phosphate in the right formulations help replenish enamel minerals.

🌱 Essential Oils & Nano/Colloidal Silver: Massive antimicrobial benefits!

🚫 Avoid SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate): This foaming agent can irritate sensitive oral tissues and may trigger or worsen canker sores in susceptible people. More foam doesn’t mean cleaner teeth!

⚠️ Beware of Whitening Toothpastes! Most contain abrasives and other ingredients that often contribute to tooth sensitivity and don’t necessarily have noticeable results.

✨ My advice? Focus on remineralization, a healthy oral pH, and gentle ingredients. What’s in YOUR toothpaste? 👀

The Shame We Put in Our Teeth

10/06/2026

🌊🦷 PORT ORFORD, I’m coming your way! 🦷🌲

I’m bringing Bona Fide Hygiene Care south for a little pop-up day on Sunday, October 11th, with Monday the 12th available based on demand. Services available from 10am-5pm.

I’ll be set up in the parking lot directly to the right of Mr. Ed’s Pub offering cleanings, X-rays, periodontal maintenance, fluoride by request, tooth gems, nightguards, education, and more. Not a traditional dental office, no insurance; just accessible, prevention-focused dental hygiene care out of my vintage Airstream.

Appointments are limited, so call or message me to get on the schedule! 🧡 Tell your neighbors!

A little reminder from the walls of Bona Fide-

Healthcare can make people feel vulnerable enough already. Around here, I’d much rather remind you that you’re capable, complicated, resilient and allowed to take up space.

Also… I really like this sign. 😂

Someone recently described my decorating style as one giant game of “I Spy”… and I’ve never felt more seen!! 🥲 👀🍄

If you’re going to sit somewhere waiting for your teeth to be cleaned, why shouldn’t it feel a little more like a cozy hideaway and a little less like… well, a dental office?

Vintage Airstream. Antiques and trinkets. Good music. Zero judgment. And somewhere amongst all of that, I promise there’s a fully functioning dental clinic. 🦷

Bona Fide may be a fully functioning clinic, but sterile and boring were never part of the design plan. 🦷🌿 Come as you are.

This guy knows oral hygiene matters. 💀🦷

I’m a big believer that oral care doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all. Alongside traditional preventive care, I love exploring alternative products and ingredients that can support a healthy mouth and fit the individual person using them. Simply Silver mouth rinse is one of my favorite products!

This blend of nano hydroxyapatite, colloidal silver, and xylitol maintains mouth pH levels above 8, effectively combating erosive acids. Unlike traditional mouthwashes, this formula offers a natural alternative for remineralizing teeth, free from harsh chemicals.

Bona Fide Hygiene Care: A little science. A little nature. A whole lot of prevention. 🦷🌱✨

🚨🦷 AT LONG LAST!! Finally, a bamboo replacement head for the Sonicare toothbrush!!! 🔥
I fully believe that an electric toothbrush is beneficial for better and more thorough cleaning, but until this moment I have never seen an alternative option for those who wish to remove microplastics from daily life and still use an electric toothbrush. This is so exciting!! And a copper tongue scraper too?!! Come on now!! (I’m nerding out, can you tell?! 😅)

Send me a message to get a promo code for Primals!!

I met Cole March of 2020, right before the world shut down. I had only been in Oregon for 6 months at that point, i hadn’t made friends yet really.
Along with his 2 buddies, Andy and Zach, I think we played more disc golf in 2 years than I had cumulatively in my entire life pre-pandemic! Life took its course and I hadn’t seen Cole in nearly 4 years, until just a month ago. Well this guy came out of the woodwork and helped me wrap up my truck and Airstream wiring! 🙌🏼 We got the reverse cameras on both truck and trailer, we successfully hooked up the electric brakes and controller, we replaced the truck brake switch housing…which I had already done and would have never thought to replace… but it worked!!
These last few steps were crucial and I was going insane with troubleshooting by myself. This is just yet another person to add to my VIP list of those helping my clinic vision come to fruition. I am eternally grateful for all who have contributed, every stage has been just as important as the last. Here’s a then and now, for your viewing pleasure! 🤗 Cole

🦷💧 A Dry Mouth Isn’t Just Annoying

Saliva is one of your body’s best natural defenses. It helps wash away bacteria, neutralize acids, and protect your teeth from decay. If your mouth often feels dry, it could increase your risk for cavities and gum disease.

Staying hydrated, using sugar-free xylitol drops or gum, and keeping up with preventive dental visits can make a big difference. Sometimes dry mouth is linked to medications or health conditions, so it’s worth mentioning at your next appointment.
