Trina Felber is a Registered Nurse and the Founder and CEO of Primal Life Organics and today she is dropping some serious knowledge bombs on us all about oral health, the mouth microbiome and digestive health, and common dental myths (that we’re told by our dentists…which may be actually making us sicker??) We’ve chatted multiple times on the podcast about the importance of removing toxic and harmful ingredients in our personal care products, makeup, household cleaners…but most people don’t think of what’s going in our mouths (besides food of course).=
Do you have any idea what you’re putting in your mouth? According to Trina, probably not. In this episode we’re talking about everything from ingredients to avoid in toothpaste that could be wrecking your microbiome, what’s the deal with fluoride, what can you do for bad breath and teeth whitening.
On today’s episode, we discuss:
- What is wrong with the products that we typically use to clean our teeth? Are our current dental products actually making us sick?
- A lot of people assume that if they’re using more natural toothpaste or oral cleaning products – they just don’t work because they’re not as strong as the regular drugstore stuff. Is this true?
- The oral microbiome and why it’s so important
- What are some ingredients we should avoid in toothpaste?
- What’s the deal with fluoride?
- Bad breath is common. What’s the deal with bad breath? Why does it happen, and if we’re taking a natural approach – how can we get rid of it naturally?
- Natural teeth whitening. How do you do that without using abrasive whitening toothpastes or whitestrips?
- What’s the deal with charcoal toothpaste? Does it ruin your enamel?
- Are there certain foods that can damage your teeth, like sparkling water or coffee?

Trina Felber, Founder and CEO of Primal Life Organics says: “Probably not…” We’re delighted to be working with Trina to help educate people about good oral health and the toxicity they’re inundating their mouths with daily.
Trina knows the mouth is host to thousands of different bacteria that reside in and on it. Harsh ingredients have been added to conventional body care products to kill bad bacteria. Unfortunately, in the process of killing the bad bacteria, it also destroys the promotion of good bacteria that protects the immune system! Trina’s Primal Life Organics dental care products combine a holistic and natural approach to oral care to free the body from toxins and function in a holistic state. Their all-natural products allow the body to re-establish its natural microbiome inside your mouth – which feeds and seeds the gut for systemic health!
