5 Tips for a Healthy (and More Kissable) Mouth

February 8, 2019 By Melanie No Comments

 65 days. That’s the number on my wedding countdown clock and I couldn’t be more excited (and stressed). Whenever people used to tell me that planning a wedding is basically a full time job I used to think that sounded a little dramatic. Like, how hard could it be right? You book the vendors, you pick out some linens, say yes to the dress, and then everything magically falls into place.

Well, the jokes on me because it has been pretty hard to keep up with. And this is coming from a girl who lives for multi-tasking! In order to help manage my stress levels, I’ve been keeping up my fitness routine and scheduling extra time for self-care. This means more nights filled with hot baths, meditation, cookies and wine (hey, a girl’s gotta treat herself!) but also a little more attention to my overall appearance. I’ve used these months before my upcoming wedding to give my hair, skin, and nails all the extra TLC.

As I was going through my routine, I realized there was a critical area that I was slightly not giving extra love. My teeth and gums.

When it comes to oral care, I always felt like it was rather straightforward. You brush twice a day, floss, add a mouthwash a few times a week, go to the dentist and that’s it. However, here’s the thing… there’s so much more that can help you get the healthiest mouth ever.

With February being the month of love, it’ll probably pay off to treat yo’ mouth to some extra TLC so it’s healthy and kissable. 😉 It’s also American Heart Month, which is a great reminder to take your oral care seriously since the same bad bacteria found in your mouth is also found in the arterial plaque in heart disease.

Here are the 5 things I’m doing to make sure my teeth and gums are happy and healthy by the time I say “I do.”

Kick Candy To The Curb

Bacteria in your mouth thrive on sugar, and the acids they produce eventually eat away at enamel. Since candy is basically all sugar, you can see the issue that they would pose on your overall mouth health. Sour candies are the worst offenders because they are super acidic. It’s best to avoid them as much as possible and opt for other sweets (in moderation) that won’t get stuck in your teeth.

Take Probiora Health Daily

ProBiora™Plus is an oral care  probiotic mint. Yep, you heard that right. A PROBIOTIC mint!! You guys, it’s basically genius and you know how big a fan of probiotics I am considering the fact that even my skincare is made up of them.

*These mints promote healthy gums, fresher breath, and even whiter teeth when you take them at least once a day. Essentially, when ProBiora™Plus dissolves, it adds millions of good bacteria that drive out the bad bacteria, leading to a better balance of bacteria in the mouth.

Now, I do want to preface that the mints take some time to dissolve and they don’t necessarily taste like your average breath mint. They’re pretty mild in flavor and I would recommend taking one at least an hour before you go to sleep (since you’re supposed to not drink anything for 30 minutes after taking one). When I first started trying the mints I would pop one in my mouth as I was getting ready for bed and then would be up for a good 15 min waiting for it to dissolve before I could actually fall asleep.

This may be a little TMI but I used to have really bad breath in the morning. Something my fiance has mentioned several times before which is why I’ve always made it a point to make brushing my teeth the first thing I do the second I get out of bed. After taking ProBiora™Plus for the past month, I’ve noticed that my morning breath is nowhere near the intensity that it used to be! You can say, he’s been pretty happy about that.

They also make a pet probiotic which I’m definitely considering for Nina. Because hey, she deserves a healthy mouth too. 🙂

Scrape Your Tongue

Tongue scraping stems from traditional Ayurvedic practices and is a great way to remove the toxins that come out of your tongue each night. I’ve used a toothbrush to do this before but recently bought a tongue scraper off Amazon because it’s much more effective. They’re super affordable (mine was $6) so definitely worth the investment.

Try Oil Pulling Weekly

Another Ayurvedic practice, oil pulling has been gaining rapid popularity! You’ve probably seen lots of wellness bloggers do this on the ‘gram. Essentially, all you have to do is swish your mouth with coconut oil for 15-20 minutes in order to improve gum health, prevent cavities, and kill harmful bacteria in your mouth. To be honest I’ve only been able to do this a few times and can only last for 10 minutes before I can’t handle it anymore. However, I think there’s a lot of validity in this and am hoping to increase my tolerance level to finally be able to do it for the recommended amount of time.  

Get Enough Vitamin C

We’ve all heard that calcium helps build strong bones and teeth, but did you know Vitamin C is also a crucial component of proper oral care? You can always take a vitamin if you’re worried you don’t get the recommended daily amount but I find that as long as your diet is high in fruits like berries and oranges and green vegetables, you’re probably getting the amount you need. On that note, it’s better to get your Vitamin C from whole fruits and vegetables rather than fruit juices, since those can be super acidic and sugary.

I hope you find all these tips helpful! If you have any questions about the things I suggested or want to share your own experience feel free to send me a note! I love hearing from you.

With love,

Note – this post is sponsored by Probiora Health. As always, all opinions are strictly my own.

*There are no known interactions between ProBioraPlus and medications. In fact, it is wise to use ProBioraPlus during and after a course of antibiotics, which can disrupt the bacterial balance in the mouth. As with use for any medication, it is suggested that you check with your Doctor/Dentist or Pharmacist for more information.

Sharing a different kind of #SelfCare Session with you all because it seriously did wonders for my self confidence and I am here to spill the tea!! 💛

I felt like pregnancy and postpartum aged me so quickly and the stress + lack of sleep + inflammation definitely manifested in the skin on my face looking ROUGH. I was seeing more fine lines, sun spots, redness and enlarged pores than ever before (that second photo has me feeling so exposed 🙈)

So when @laseredbykaitlyn reached out to tell me about Moxi and BBL laser treatments, I was immediately interested. I had heard great things about them before and although I was a bit skeptical at first, I knew it was worth a try 

Swipe through to see the whole journey from two sessions at @alluvionaesthetics — one round of just Moxi and one round of Moxi & BBL together. 

I am sooo beyond happy with the results and my skin looks so much healthier, younger and refreshed! I wanted to share with you all in case any of you are struggling with similar skin issues 💛✨

Let me know if you have any q’s!

#Ad Self-Care morning routines are a little shorter these days and that just means I’ve learned to prioritize habits and products that go the extra mile to make me feel my best! ✨

One #healthyhabit I’m always working on, especially living in Colorado, is #hydration and that’s why I was SO excited to get my hands on @goultima’s NEW Collagen Defense! I mean… an electrolyte drink that keeps me hydrated AND has skin boosting benefits? Sign me up! 👏🏻🍓 

The Kiwi Strawberry flavor is so refreshing and the blend of Dermaval and Biotin helps to protect skin’s natural collagen & elastin plus support hair, skin and nails. The best part? It tastes amazing and has no sugar, calories, carbs or artificial sweeteners.

A little reminder that your younger self would be
A little reminder that your younger self would be so PROUD of how far you’ve come and this life you are currently living is worth celebrating every. single. day. 💛

I’m someone who is always chasing new goals… and while I appreciate my willingness to hustle, I also know that without intentionally pausing to find gratitude in the present moment it can be far to easy to get used to the things you once were working so hard for. 

This morning, in the midst of my brain starting to spiral thinking about “what’s next” (and having a minor meltdown), I had a moment where I looked around and realized “wow, THIS life is exactly what you dreamed of years ago.” 

And if I look back on so many previous years of my life, I had countless other “aha” moments like that too. Many things that my younger self would have never dreamed possible, became a reality… sometimes in the smallest, most subtle of ways 

All this to say, it’s SO important to keep chasing your dreams. This world needs you. It needs you and your voice, your gifts, your talents and your unique perspective ☺️

Just don’t forget to pause every once in awhile and look around with gratitude for the life you are living right now too 💕

#Ford_Ambassador Welcome back to “romanticizing routines,” a mini series where I’m sharing different ways to find joy in the small, everyday moments. 💛

Today’s tip is all about leaning into seasonal joys and with it being early summertime that calls for gardening!🪏🪴🫜It’s times like these that I’m SO happy I have my 2025 @Ford Explorer® SUV because the cargo space is perfect for large hauls. 

The available feature back seats fold down with a touch of a button and it’s been a game changer for road trips and grocery shopping. In this case I was able to fill it with multiple bags of soil, a pot and lots of starter flowers, herbs and strawberries! 🍓🌼 

This is just the beginning of plenty more planting I plan on doing this season and I can’t wait to share more. I already know we’ll be spending lots of time out on our back porch, whether we are gardening, barbecuing, sipping coffee in the morning or hosting friends for dinner. 🍽️ 

Let me know if you want to see the start of my cut flower garden and maybe a full garden tour later this month!
