Bridgit: Trina Felber, welcome to the DIY detox summit.

Trina: Hi! Thank you, Bridgit. Thanks for having me.

Bridgit: Yea, I'm very excited to bring this topic up. We're going to talk about
the environment of the mouth and why that's important, and some toxic
things to avoid, and the way to correctly handle your mouth, so to speak.

So I would love to start by getting to know you a little better. You were a nurse
for many years, which is super cool. And how did you transition into this
dental health space?

Trina: Very interesting. Like I started making my own skin care products after
I had a miscarriage. And it was because I had felt that I was super healthy, so
I started looking at how could toxins be getting into my body, just in case
anything was related to anything in my control. So I started looking outside in
my environment. And that's when I noticed that skin care had a lot of toxins
in it. And I was slathering my body with all sorts of skin care makeup, face
products, body products every single day.

So I just kind of did the whole washout of my skin care products and started
making my own products. So that's how I really got into natural skin care. The
dental products, which is my favorite topic to talk about, because it's just not

being talked about, and it's so important. It's vital. Our oral health is vital for
internal health, which we're going to talk about.

But my oral care products really came about because my daughter at the age
of two had a molar erupt that had a natural cavity in it. And the dentist told
me that that tooth was probably not going to last more than a year. We put a
temporary filling in it. But the molar was most likely going to have to be pulled
within a year, because there was nothing he said he could do about it.

So I started researching. I was a mom that was like, no, no, no. I have all
these natural products. I have all this knowledge about how natural really
works with the body. Let me look at the teeth, at the mouth, and see what I
can do to create better wellness inside her mouth, because if one tooth has a
problem, then most likely her other teeth could be at risk as well.

So I started doing some research. I came across Dr. Westin Price, who was a
dentist in the early 1900s that did a lot of research about third world
countries and why their dental health was so good. And then when they came
to the U. S., their dental health and then their internal health declines so
rapidly. And he found that their diet was strong in minerals. And it was from
the earth and clays, the dirt that their food was actually grown in.

So I started researching clay and realized that clay was the perfect medium to
put inside the mouth because it has the minerals that your teeth need. And lo
and behold, after that I started doing more research about the clays and found
out that it helps to pull toxins, which we're going to talk about, from your
mouth. It helps to clean your teeth very well, cut down on plaque, helps
reduce the bad bacteria inside your mouth, and helps regrow your good
bacteria, which is really where good health starts, with your good bacteria
inside your mouth.

So I created my Dirty Mouth Tooth Powder formula and created it to heal the
mouth and heal the teeth, while detoxifying bad things out of your mouth. My
daughter is ten years old now and still has that original filling in that tooth.
That tooth is still intact, so I did something right.

Bridgit: Interesting. I didn't know that clay was like so diverse. I mean I knew
it was like a detoxifier. But I didn't know it had minerals and like fed good
bacteria. So that's super cool.

Trina: Yea, so clay for me is the perfect medium to brush your teeth with. It's
not harmful for you. A lot of people do ingest it. I do a detox clay ingestion
about once a month. But you just have to make sure that the clay that you're
using is food grade. Most people use bentonite.

But clay binds very strongly to toxins. They have an opposite charge. So one is
positive and one is negative. And I believe clay is a negative charge and toxins
are a positive charge. I could have that backwards. But regardless, I think I'm
right. So it's an ionic bond that is so strong that once the bond is made, it's
very difficult to break.

So when you're talking as far as detoxing your tissues, including your oral
cavity, which is super, super important, once the clay binds to a toxin, it
doesn't release it and it pulls it out. So that's why it's super important.

But it also has the minerals. Your teeth are made of minerals. And we've got
into the whole fluoride brainwash, believing that fluoride is going to make our
teeth stronger. Your teeth, just like your bones, don't have fluoride in it. And
your teeth are actually the hardest surface in your body. It's harder than
bone.

And if you believe that you can heal a cracked or broken bone, then you really
should believe that you can heal a tooth that has demineralized or lost
minerals. The way it works is the same. The reason the bone heals so much
better is because the environment that it's in allows the bone to actually heal.
It's more of a neutral to alkaline environment inside your body, whereas in
your mouth, it's an acidic environment. And in an acidic environment,
remineralization doesn't happen. And we can talk about that.

Bridgit: Okay. Yea, I'm so glad we're having this conversation. I think most of
us grew up hopefully at least having some dental care and going to the dentist
to get your little free toothpaste and your little free. But I don’t think we think
of the tooth as like, I don't know if you even call it an organ. I mean, I don't
know if it's right, but it's like a living tissue.

Trina: Right.

Bridgit: And I don't think we think of it that way. We think of it like a static
thing that we just like brush and whatever. But like you're talking about, it
needs nutrients and bacterial balance.

Trina: Right. We think of it like a rock. That's how we think of it. It's like hard
and like a rock. And if rock breaks, it's now you've got two rocks that are
smaller. But it really can be a tissue or an organ, whatever you want to think
of it. But it's like bone. It really does regenerate. But it has to be in the right
condition.

I grew up with the saying, "Good health starts in your mouth." And I never
connected the dots or never really knew why good health starts in your
mouth. And for most people, that is where good health stops as well, because
your mouth is your gate keeper to your inside of your body.

And I really want people to reframe their entire digestive system and realize
that it's a tube that goes from your mouth to your tail. And if you stop and
think about that entire tube, including your stomach, the inside of your
stomach, as still outside of your body, you will realize that toxins that come in
through your mouth can actually be eliminated through the entire tube. They
don't necessarily get inside your body until they cross through your tissue,
whether that's your gums, the lining of your stomach, the lining of your
intestines.

So that entire tube is still the outside world trying to get in. And the protective
mechanism that you have is your biome, the microbiome. We all know about
gut health. We all know about the microbiome in the gut and how important
that is.

But what's really missed, and the reason why a lot of people with gut health
issues don't actually improve their gut completely is because they're missing
their oral biome, which is completely different than your gut biome. Your oral
biome is supposed to support your oral health and be the true gateway
between what goes past it and into your body through your gums or down into
your stomach and your intestines.

What's interesting is that H. pylori and E. coli all start inside your mouth. And
if they get past your mouth, because your mouth is the place where you're
supposed to kill that; if they get past your mouth and you swallow it, the
environment inside your stomach is more acidic than your mouth. And it
thrives in there.

And it can get into your small intestine, and people have problems, because
that's not where you're supposed to kill it. You don't have the right bacteria in
your small intestine to kill that bacteria. It's supposed to happen inside your
mouth.

And I can reframe the biome inside your mouth. I can help you reframe and
regrow the good biome, so that if you're exposed to H. pylori or E. coli or
viruses or Streptococcus mutans, which is the leading bacteria that causes
cavities and gingivitis, you can kill those without having them have pass into
your tissues or down into your stomach.

Bridgit: Okay, okay. So to sum that up, we need to have this healthy oral
biome, because it protects us from infections. It sounds like it also kind of
binds and destroys harmful substances. There's a lot of stuff we're putting in
our mouths besides infectious materials, right? Like glyphosates are getting
into our mouth, and all sorts of crazy stuff is getting in their mouth. So it
sounds like having that healthy biome right from the start is what prevents
trouble later on down the track. Is that right?

Trina: Right. So yea, good health starts in the mouth, and it's related to your
oral biome. And if you're brushing with what I call toxo-paste, toxo-paste is
anything that comes like in a tube that your buy off the shelf. I call it toxo-
crap or toxo-paste.

But if you're brushing with something like this, you're destroying your oral
biome in a couple of different ways. The ingredients in here contain like SLS,
triclosan, things like that. If you're using mouthwash, and a lot of
mouthwashes say that they kill ninety-nine percent of bacteria. Bacteria is not
all bad. You want your good bacteria. But if you're killing ninety-nine percent
of bacteria, you're killing your good bacteria as well.

That's your protective mechanism. That's where good health starts. But it can
stop there if you don't have your oral biome in place. By brushing with what
we grew up brushing with is actually destroying our health. It's destroying our
gum tissue, creating what I call leaky gum syndrome, which is really the
beginning of like gingivitis moving down towards periodontitis, where you have
inflamed gums that allow things inside your body right through your gum
tissue.

Bridgit: Yea, I haven't actually heard that expression of leaky gum. I've heard
of gum disease. And I know that's pretty common, right, different shades of
gum disease?

Tristan: Yea, and it's basically the same thing. So what I say is you've got this
triad of health related to your brain, your gut, and your mouth. And your
mouth is the bottom of the triangle. And that's what supports the other areas
of health for you. So you need to have your gum tissue and your mouth, you
need to have good oral biome, you need to have healthy gum tissue. That
supports healthy teeth.
If you're doing those two things and you have that environment inside your
mouth, cavities truly can't happen. I have a formula for cavities. The formula
for cavities is bacteria plus sugar and starches inside your mouth from the
foods that you eat create lactic acid. The lactic acid then causes plaque
buildup and demineralization.

© 2019. All rights reserved. 5

So if we reengineer that, we can create the formula where plaque and
demineralization don't happen. And that is a good bacteria inside your mouth.
A healthy oral biome will then lead to a more alkaline mouth condition. So you
want an alkaline mouth and a healthy oral biome.

When you eat sugars and starches, they're not going to be as detrimental,
because they're not going to be feeding bad bacteria. So then if you have that
environment inside your mouth, which is what clay does, then you will stop
plaque. You won't have plaque and you won't have demineralization. You
actually have remineralization where the minerals can go back into your teeth.

When we talk about clay detoxing as well, you talked about the glyphosate.
That can be in your gum tissue. Heavy metals, we're exposed to heavy metals
all the time. Tap water has a lot of toxins in it. It has chemicals, it has drug
waste, and it has heavy metals in it. But that all gets into your gums and your
mouth tissue; not just your gums, but your mouth tissue. And clay actually
can detoxify that from your tissues as you're brushing teeth. So that's why it's
a great medium.

Bridgit: Yea, this is so fascinating. You know, I know the gums are well
vascularized. It seems like they bleed really easily. So it seems like they would
be very absorbent. I know I've heard and we've got guests coming on that like
Lyme disease, the infections have been found very much in the mouth. So it
makes sense that some of these other things are being found in the mouth,
too.

Before we move on more to the solution, I just want to kind of sum up the
problems with like modern conventional dental care. So you mentioned SLS in
toothpaste, triclosan, which I'm like, wow; I didn't even know that was in
toothpaste, like carcinogenic. We mentioned that most mouthwashes kill too
much bacteria, which throws things off. You mentioned that fluoride isn't
found in your teeth. So what else should we know about?

Trina: Yes. And fluoride is a neurotoxin. And it can be found in your bone
tissue when you have too much, because it's going to get inside your body. So
it can also disrupt your bones; not just the bones in your body, but the bones
in your jaw that support your mouth. Artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners are
also found in toothpaste. Glycerin is also found in toothpaste.

I have my nice picture of my tooth back here. And you can see that big old
cavity in there. So what happens with glycerin, I have a smaller one here that I
use for demonstration here. But what happens with glycerin in toothpaste is
that it puts a coating, or I call it like a saran wrap, over demineralized areas of
your teeth. So your teeth are constantly losing minerals.
© 2019. All rights reserved. 6
And you have to have minerals to put back in. Otherwise, if you have more
minerals leaving your tooth than you have to put back in your teeth, then you
start to get sensitive teeth. That's when you're sensitive to colds, foods, acidic
foods; not just hot and cold, but acidic foods can cause sensitive teeth as well.

What you want to do is remove that glycerin coating, because it doesn't allow
those minerals. Even if you do eat something that has minerals in it, or your
saliva is supposed to remineralize your teeth as well because it has minerals
in it from your body. That's your body's way to remineralize your teeth is
through your saliva. And if you have glycerin over on your tooth from your
toothpaste, the glycerin prevents those minerals from getting back in and
remineralizing your tooth.

What the tooth powder, what clay will do is clay will wipe off or brush or that
glycerin coating. So anyone that has mineral loss will probably have a slight
sensitivity to their teeth for a couple of days. It really only takes about three or
four brushings to rebuild your enamel and remineralize that enamel so that
you don't have such sensitive teeth. And then you continue to brush with it
and it continues to replace those minerals in your teeth. So it will remove the
coating.

What I want to point out is that your enamel, which is the white part of your
tooth, the outer part of your tooth, is the strongest. It's about ninety-six
percent minerals. There's zero fluoride. It's mostly calcium and phosphorus
and a couple of other minerals in it. And that's what's in the tooth powder.

So as you're brushing, there's only one way to put minerals back in your
teeth, and it has to happen at the surface of your tooth. You can't take a
supplement to put minerals back in your teeth. It has to happen either
through your saliva, the foods that you eat, or what you're brushing your
teeth with.

If you're brushing your teeth with products that don't contain minerals, then
you're missing out on the health of your teeth. And most likely that product is
killing your good bacteria, promoting the overgrowth of bad bacteria, and
creating an acidic environment, which then leads to more demineralization
inside your mouth. And it never will lead to remineralization.

So it's really interesting. If you switch to a clay based toothpaste or tooth

powder, you're going to create an alkaline0--t's very alkalizing. You're going to
create the alkaline environment inside your mouth. Clay will kill bad bacteria.
Nothing can grow in clay, so it's going to kill the bacteria that causes
gingivitis, causes dental breakdown or demineralization, which then leads to
© 2019. All rights reserved. 7
cavities, H. pylori and all the bad things inside your mouth. But it supports
your good biome, because remember your good biome lives more in an
alkaline condition.

So how do you know that you have an overgrowth or growth of bad bacteria?
The very first sign of an imbalance between your good and bad bacteria is bad
breath, because if you have good bacteria, your breath will not necessarily be
bad. It's more of a regular fresh breath inside your mouth all the time. So
that's the first sign that you have some issues inside your mouth.

If you catch it early enough and make the switch, then you can have great oral
health, great oral biome. When you swallow, now here's another thing to think
about. When you swallow saliva, food, anything, you are swallowing
everything inside your mouth, including the bacteria. So if you only have bad
bacteria in your mouth, you're swallowing bad bacteria. It's feeding and
seeding your gut.

A lot of people take probiotics for their gut, but never really see healing
happen. And it's probably because they're swallowing bad bacteria from inside
their mouth.

Bridgit: Oh, very interesting.

Trina: The other problem, this is really fascinating, too, because people with
intestinal issues, it's so powerful. Like it's your immune system, and it affects
every part of your body. If you have digestive issues, Crohn's disease, colitis,
leaky gut syndrome, if you have gluten intolerances, that actually prevents
you from absorbing minerals in your food, in your digestive system.

If you're not absorbing calcium and phosphorus, not only do they affect your
bones and other metabolic issues inside your body, but then your saliva
doesn't have the high concentration. So you can't remineralize your teeth that
way as well. So it's like a full circle. It's how your body is created to protect
itself.

So you really want to start with your mouth. Regrow your good bacteria inside
your mouth. And then for a lot of people, their digestive issues get much
better once they treat their mouth as the start of their digestive system.

Bridgit: Um. Okay, that was a lot right there, but a lot of good stuff. I love
your passion about it. I want to circle back to a couple of things that I thought
was really interesting. I have heard in the past, and maybe this is wrong
information, that you do have blood vessels to your teeth, and the minerals
can come through there. Not correct?
© 2019. All rights reserved. 8
Trina: So you do. They're way down here. So your outer part is your enamel.
There's no connection from your enamel to your blood vessels. So you can't
take a supplement to directly affect; like indirectly it will. So you take the
supplement and it goes into your intestines and you absorb. As long as you
don't have any digestive issues, you absorb the minerals and your nutrients
through your digestive system.
But, if you have any digestive issues, you're lacking the absorption of some
part. Like even if it's a percentage, you're lacking the absorption of minerals in
your intestines.

So the next layer is your dentin. So the dentin still doesn't have a connection
to your bloodstream or your nerve vessel.

Bridgit: Okay.

Trina: This is your pulp right here. It's when your cavity starts to look like
that one back there that you have the pain, because that's close to your nerve.
The nerve and the blood vessel are in your pulp, which is right in here.

Bridgit: Okay.

Trina: Your dentin has minerals in it, but it's fluid, so it helps like with the
shock-absorbing. It helps prevent. It's got some anti-bacterial things in it or
anti-microbial properties to it so that it prevents infection. It's your body's way
at a last ditch effort trying to keep your tooth healthy when your minerals
break down from your enamel into your dentin.

The other thing of your dentin is your dentin has a discoloration to it. It's not
white. The whitest part of your tooth is your enamel. So if you want whiter
teeth, you need to rebuild your enamel. The dentin has a yellowish or a bluish
color to it. So when your enamel starts to wear thin, your teeth can look
yellow or bluish. Like it can have that grayish tint to them.

Bridgit: Oh.

Trina: So what I've done is created a teeth-whitening system that will actually
remineralize, add the minerals back to your teeth. They also help to neutralize
the acids, so you're going to help remineralize even when you're not using the
LED teeth whitener. They're going to help to restore your oral biome and help
your gum tissue.

This is the LED teeth whitener. Oh gosh, it's real bright right now. But you
can see it's got blue and red LED lights. We can talk about this if we have
© 2019. All rights reserved. 9
time. But it helps to whiten your teeth, but recreates the right bacteria inside
your mouth.

And it helps to rebuild your enamel so that you have thicker enamel, so that
as you're doing this, this isn't like a peroxide treatment that works instantly
for some people. If you have a thin enamel, the gel that I created is peroxide
free, and it has the minerals in it to help remineralize. So as you're doing the
treatments, you're actually rebuilding your enamel, making it thicker, which is
great for your health. But it's also going to help whiten your teeth over time for
longer periods.

Bridgit: If there is a problem in your mouth currently, which probably most of

us have for several reasons, then it is better to treat from the outside, because
it's hard to do it up from the inside. Like I think it is a little bit of a common
thing in natural medicine. Like people are like, well, I'll just eat better. You
know, you can't just eat better to treat everything, I don't think. Not if you find
out you've got a new cavity or whatever it is, or like you find out teeth
whitening is bad for you or whatever.

There is benefit to things coming in from the outside of doing things like a
different way than just saying, well, this is probably I drink milk, so my teeth
must be strong. You can probably myth bust on that one all day. So yea, this
is really good information. I really appreciate you unpacking that. And then
glycerin, that's like a sweetener basically, right?

Trina: Well glycerin is like a stabilizer. And it's not necessarily the sweetener
that they are putting in, because they put artificial sweeteners in there. But
glycerin, they put it in there partly because people with sensitive teeth don't
want to feel sensitive teeth. And so they put it in there to make your teeth not
feel the sensitivities. While you think it's okay, and you think that you're
getting better because your teeth are no longer sensitive, it's really just a
band-aid covering up that spot. It's never going to heal.

Even if you ate a carrot that has some minerals in it, your teeth won't be able
to absorb those minerals. It's like a lock and key. The surface has to be clean.
And the glycerin puts a coating over that so you can't absorb it. So the health
of your teeth isn't going to get any better by brushing with something that has
glycerin in it.

So really I like tooth powders, because they're concentrated, and it's strictly
the clays that you're brushing with, with a little bit of flavor. Mine has
essential oils I use, like a peppermint essential oil, which is really good for
your biome as well, your bacteria inside your mouth. It helps to get rid of
bacteria, bad bacteria, but doesn't hurt good bacteria.

So yes, it does kind of work from the outside. Your diet matters. Obviously
your diet always matters. You always want to eat healthy. But like in my
equation for a formula for a cavity, bacteria plus sugars and starches equals
lactic acid. That then creates cavities. If we get rid of the two equations--let me
pull this up. I don't know if we can. I did a really cool master class yesterday.

Bridgit: Oh fun.

Trina: Let me see if you guys can see this. Okay.

Bridgit: Yea, okay.

Trina: So here's the formula. And so you've got the bacteria. I crossed it out.
And then you've got sugar and starches equal lactic acid. And then you've got
the plaque buildup. But if you cross out the bacteria and you cross out the
lactic acid. So if we grow good bacteria, our good microbiome, and we are
using the alkalizing clay tooth powder, you are now going to get rid of the two
things that really produce the environment inside your mouth that causes the
breakdown of your gum tissue and your teeth.

The sugars and starches I didn't cross off, because realistically they're going to
be in your diet. I don't expect anybody to completely get rid of that. You can't.
So that's a factor that just is going to be in your diet.
The other two things, the bacteria and the lactic acid, you can control. And it's
simply by removing the products that destroy the good bacteria inside your
mouth and create the acidic environment. Foods are acidic. There are a lot of
acidic foods out there. Like meats are acidic. And there's a whole list of foods
that are more acidic. Most foods are more acidic than alkaline. But it's not
going to be as detrimental when you have your good bacteria inside your
mouth, and you're brushing with an alkalizing tooth powder.

And the other thing to know is that your saliva is alkalizing. It's got a pH of
about six. So it's not quite neutral. It's a little more acidic. But compared to
the foods that you're eating like soda, soda has a pH of 2, which is very acidic.
So your saliva then washes away. And it tries to neutralize it. As long as your
teeth are more alkaline and your mouth is neutral to alkaline, your saliva has
the minerals in it that it can help to remineralize your teeth. But if you've got
that coating of glycerin on there, it's not going to matter, because the minerals
won't get in.

Bridgit: Glycerin is usually binding like toothpaste together to make it a

paste. Or as powder, it doesn't need that.

© 2019. All rights reserved. 11

Trina: Yea. So I have one of my tooth powders here. So the tooth powder
strictly is powder. That's what it looks like, clay. So you just wet your
toothbrush. I usually just dip my toothbrush in. What lands on your
toothbrush is all you need. You do not need much. And you just brush the
same way you would, for two minutes. Just brush up and down for two
minutes.

And it changes the environment inside your mouth so that you can't grow
plaque. It actually gets rid of plaque. It helps your gums heal. Toothpaste, the
other thing to know about toothpaste is toothpaste actually has micro-beads
in it. They started putting micro-beads in it.

Bridgit: No, gross.

Trina: Yea. And the micro-beads can get between your gum tissue and cause
pockets between your gums and your teeth. That's where bacteria can hide.
That's where you can grow plaque, and you can get the pockets. And that's
where inflammation gets inside your body. The plaque that's on your teeth is
the same plaque that has been found in heart disease.

Bridgit: Yea, right, there is this dental/heart connection. Right.

Trina: Totally, yea. So this is a good artery.

Bridgit: The same plaque.

Trina: It's the same plaque, yea. It's interesting, it's the same plaque. So
there's the plaque buildup. And then you get to the point where your arteries
look like that, and they're pretty clogged. It's the same plaque.

Bridgit: What's in it? Like just bacteria and stuff?

Trina: Yea. We've heard a lot about biofilm, people talking about biofilm. The
biggest biofilm in our body is plaque. So it's basically bacteria that create like
a film or a coating to prevent the breakdown. So antibiotics can't get in to kill
the bacteria, because it's like a house. It builds itself a house. So plaque is
very hard, it's thick, and it needs an acidic environment.

What people notice when they brush with Dirty Mouth Tooth Powder, my
tooth powder, the clay base, is that it alkalizes it. And it changes the
environment inside your mouth, and it gets rid of the bacteria. And when they
go to their dentist, they don't have any plaque buildup. It actually gets rid of
the plaque, because it's all related to good health starts in your mouth. And
it's related to the environment that you're creating inside your mouth.
© 2019. All rights reserved. 12
And it's a simple change of what we're using. We're just using the wrong
products. We've bought into the fluoride treatments, and it's not doing any
good. There's no fluoride in your teeth.

Fluoride actually replaces the minerals inside your teeth. So it's actually
swapping itself for a mineral. And your minerals are much stronger than
fluoride. And since we've put a mineral there, fluoride in water and
toothpaste--it's now in processed foods and things like that--our dental health
has not improved. In fact, our dental health has declined. And so has general
health. It's all declined. And it's all related to your oral biome. It starts with
your microbiome inside your mouth.

Bridgit: Okay, Trina, I have a couple of more questions I want to ask you
before we close. And one is kind of like about success stories. Like you've got a
story you shared about your daughter. And you've shared a few stories about
observations.

But if somebody is home and like dealing with--and I get this question all the
time, too. Where can I find the right biological dentist? Or like what if I have
this or that? And I'm like, I don't know. Like it's out there; these issues are out
there. So tell us some stories of different conditions and what you've seen.
Trina: So on the website I have a bunch of testimonies from people that have
healed cavities or sensitive teeth gone within two brushings, and no more bad
breath and things like that.

But one of my favorite stories was from a woman who had six cavities and
needed a root canal in one of them. So she started brushing with dirty mouth
tooth powder as a last resort, just to see if anything could happen and she
could change even just her cavities even just a little bit. So she went to get her
root canal done. And the dentist looked in her mouth, because she only had
one cavity. And that cavity no longer needed a root canal.

So it really does work. You just need to change the environment inside your
mouth by what we're using. Gum disease, a lot of people find me because their
gums are, I call it leaky gum syndrome. But they've got redness, irritation.
Their gums hurt or bleed. And by using the tooth powder, and I create a gum
serum as well that has olive oil, and it's got about eleven essential oils in it,
that supports gum health.
I'm also coming out with a CBD tooth powder, which is really cool.

Bridgit: Hah.

Trina: Yea, a tooth powder and gum serum that's going to have CBD. The
healing properties, the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD, it's so important
for your mouth to be anti-inflammatory. When we're talking about brain
health, they have found the same bacteria that cause cavities and gingivitis
inside your mouth in the brains of patients that have died from Alzheimer's
disease or dementia. And when you talk about heart disease, it's all correlated
and interconnected with your mouth.

So trying to clean up your mouth and regrow good bacteria is really what you
want. And so healing your gums is vital. And usually what I say is if you're
creating good bacteria, the alkaline environment and the good bacteria inside
your mouth, you will eventually have a healthy mouth. Everyone starts from a
different point. But then it will take a little bit of time.

But as you grow that good bacteria inside your mouth, and it's different for
everybody, I like to tell people that we're all born with a sterile mouth. Your
immune system starts the first breath you take. And for babies that are born
vaginally, the vaginal canal has its own microbiome in it. It's protective. And
babies that are born vaginally, that's their first exposure to bacteria.

And there's a reason for that. That reason is so they can start their immune
system inside their mouth. So as they're exposed to it, that's the first exposure
to good bacteria. That's how they grow bacteria inside their mouth. When they
swallow, they swallow that, and that's what develops the immune system in
their gut.

And then through breast feeding, the mother also passes on good bacteria into
the baby's mouth. And it all starts inside the mouth. So as the baby develops
the right biome inside the mouth, as they're exposed to things in the
environment, and the same thing happens with us, as you're exposed to
things in the environment, you can grow the right bacteria to prevent that
from getting in.

And also it's the environment. Bad bacteria likes the acidic environment.
That's how it grows. So if you keep the environment inside your mouth more
alkaline or more neutral, the acidic-loving bacteria can't grow in that. So then
you swallow your good bacteria, that feeds and seeds your gut bacteria. And lo
and behold, your gut issues start to heal for the first time and go away.

Ultimately, probiotics, if you have a good oral biome and you grow good biome
in your body, you don't necessarily need to take probiotics. Probiotics help,
but they aren't helpful if you're destroying your biome by the things that
you're using like toothpaste and mouthwashes.

Bridgit: Yea, I'm glad you're bringing this oral part in. I do have that
conversation with people. A lot of people have pretty complex gut issues still.
And they're like, "Well, I take a probiotic every day." And sometimes it's a good
probiotic. But I'm like, well obviously it's not enough. You're not feeling good
still.

Trina: And here's the thing. We mentioned triclosan. There's actually been a
study done that triclosan--and this blows my mind because they studied the
gut related to triclosan, not the mouth, where your oral biome is. So I relate it
back to your mouth. But when you swallow triclosan, which is the anti-
microbial, anti-bacterial agent in not just toothpaste, but it's the things that
you wash your hands with, soaps, and things like that.

But when you swallow it and gets into your intestines, it kills your bacteria,
your good bacteria inside your stomach, your intestines. And so taking a
probiotic is useless. Like if you have the wrong bacteria and you're only
growing bad stuff because you're killing your good stuff by the things that
you're putting inside your mouth and the biome that you're swallowing. So
triclosan has been studied to kill your good bacteria in your gut. And they
studied that it also leads to colon cancer and all the gut issues.

What about your mouth? You're sterilizing your mouth. And your mouth is the
start of your immune system, which is your oral biome. So you've literally
sterilized the first probably twelve inches of your immune system.

And then you expect your gut to actually work right when it's not getting the
biome when you swallow. It's getting bad stuff. It's not getting anything good
to feed and seed it. So it's really important.

And that's why people don't necessarily--they get improvement taking

probiotics and eating the right foods--but they don't actually get relief or the
condition doesn't necessarily go completely away.

Bridgit: Okay, okay. So the last thing I want you to talk about is the teeth
whitening. I know that's like a really popular issue. I see commercials for it
and all this stuff. I have no idea what's in that stuff. Maybe I have good
enamel. I've never been interested in whitening my teeth. I'm just like I'm fine,
I'm good. But people are doing it. So tell us like maybe the issues with
conventional teeth whitening. You kind of explained how teeth do become
yellowed already.

Trisha: Yes, so really the only option out there, until I released mine, was to
whiten your teeth with peroxide. Peroxide basically--let me get the other one.

Bridgit: When you say peroxide, is that like a bleach compound, or like a
hydrogen peroxide? Or what is it?

Trisha: Hydrogen peroxide is super strong, so it's like a bleach. It's like a
bleaching agent.

Bridgit: Okay.

Trisha: Yea. And if you do at home whitening strips, most people are sensitive
to those. Those hurt. But they're not quite as strong. You can get some pretty
strong ones at home. But if you go to the dentist's office and have it
professionally done, they use even stronger solutions of peroxide.

And sometimes they use ultra-violet light, which is dangerous. Ultra-violet

light is the light that causes cancer. Some dentists will use LED light, which is
very safe. But most use the ultra-violet, because it works faster. But it's
dangerous for you.

But let me show you the tooth really quick again. So the enamel needs to be
thick enough to actually have white teeth. So technically before the dentist
does any kind of whitening treatment, they should measure the thickness of
your enamel. And if it's not thick enough, your tooth won't get white anyway,
because you're going to be seeing the dentin.

What happens with peroxide is it actually gets into your dentin and
dehydrates your tooth. And that's how it creates the white color of your tooth,
the whiter color.

Bridgit: That seems really bad.

Trina: Not to mention it burns your gum tissue, so it's going to destroy your
gums. So it's going to lead to leaky gum syndrome even worse. And it also can
burn your esophagus and it kills your good bacteria inside your mouth when
it's inside your mouth, which it is for treatment.

So what I did was I created the LED teeth whitener. This one has four red LED
lights. LED light is different than ultraviolet. So there's no harm with LED
light. It does penetrate into your tissues, which is really cool, because the red
LEDs I put on here for your gum tissue, those support your gums.

Red LED light has been used for years in spas, salons, doctor's offices, to heal
wound tissue and to regrow tissue. It sparks collagen. It's been used for anti-
aging treatments and things like that. It sparks collagen production. It
decreases inflammation and increases blood flow.

So for your gum tissue, and what's really fascinating is most of the time gum
issues or degenerative gum tissues start in your teens. But most people don't
notice it until they're in their thirties or forties. So really, it's never too early to
start worrying about your gum tissue, because it's easier to prevent the
breakdown of your gum tissue than it is to regrow your gum tissue.

So this has four red LED lights. Those are for your gums. And then the blue
LED lights, there are twelve, help whiten your teeth naturally, but they also
kill bad bacteria, like the bacteria that causes gingivitis. So they will kill the
bad bacteria.

The gel that I created to go with it is peroxide free. So you would use this gel,
which is olive oil based. It has activated charcoal, which will help whiten and
pull toxins from your tissues. It has two different clays in it. So the clays will
also help pull the toxins, but also help put the minerals back in your teeth so
that it will rebuild the white enamel that you're looking for. And then it also
has essential oils in it that will help restore your oral biome, help heal your
gum tissue, as well as help whiten your teeth.

So this does more than just whiten your teeth. This is actually the therapy for
your mouth to actually restore your biome and reset that equation so that you
don't have demineralization happening. You actually have good health inside
your mouth. Good health can start in your mouth. You can swallow it and
then it can go to your brain, your heart, your gut, everywhere.

Bridgit: That's awesome! I have more questions about that, but maybe this is
a good segway. If people have more questions, how often do I use that or what
do I need, they can go to your site, which is?

Trina: Primallifeorganics.com. Yes, yes.

Bridgit: Okay, awesome! Well thank you so much, Trina. This is just great
expertise in an area people don't know much about. I really so appreciate you
coming on.

Trina: Thanks, Bridgit. Thanks for having me. It's been awesome to talk to
you. I love talking about oral health, because nobody really understands how
important it is. So thank you for giving me the opportunity to reach millions of
people.

Bridgit: We are all a little wiser. Thank you!

Trina: Thank you!
