Welcome to the $500 Visa or Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!

With summer just around the corner, we gathered some treats for our beloved fans and avid readers!

Whether you’ve got a summer birthday coming up and want to splurge on an extra special treat or you’ll use it for an upcoming vacation or even just to knock some bills out, or stock up on groceries, we could all make good use of extra cash.

I always keep a running list of needs and a separate list of wants.  My needs list prepares me for upcoming semi-regular expenses such as car maintenance, as well as the need for new mattresses in my household.  On my 1st wants list, are things that would be beneficial, but that I don’t need like a freezer for meat or bikes for health.  Then there is the wants list.  It’s rather long especially living with I Want SR. and I want JR.

What would you do with $500 extra cash?

Sodium Laurel Sulfate, Triclosan, BHT, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sodium Flouride, Unspecified Polymer, PEG/PPG 116/66 Copolymer, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, PEG-600, PEG-12, Polysorbate-20, Potassium Sorbate, Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide….and the list goes on.

Do these ingredients sound like something you’d want to put in your mouth? Likely, you’re already doing so by using commercial fluoride based toothpastes, mouthwash and breath fresheners.

When I was approached to review OraMD, a natural toothpaste and mouthwash alternative, I was intrigued by it’s claims of tackling problems with gums such as bleeding gums, red gums and swollen gums.  OraMD sent me a free bottle to facilitate the product review that follows, in exchange for my honest opinion.

Our go-to toothpaste varied amongst popular commercial brands, that you might find in your own household.  When I set the two products side by side, it was then, that I realized that my regular toothpaste had a warning on it.  I’ve seen it before, but never thought TOO much of it.  After re-reading, the words that stick out are “contact a Poison Control Center right away”.  Now is that something you’d want to put in your mouth?

I was prompted to learn more about my toothpaste and it’s ingredients.  I’ve often referred to EWG’s Skin Deep website for information on healthy and beauty related products and came to find the hazards of the ingredients listed above.  That’s not something I’m willing to risk, especially for my child.

The recommended use of OraMD is a 4-step process:

• Brush twice daily, morning & evening, with 2-5 drops of OraMD
• Floss every evening before brushing and as needed
• Mouthwash (swish & gargle) with OraMD twice daily; morning and evening, with 2-5 drops per 1 ounce of water
• Mid-morning, mid-afternoon and as needed, put 2-5 drops of OraMD on the tip of the tongue to kill bacteria and for fresh breath.

I started with replacing my toothpaste for me and my boyfriend.  OraMD is quick to disclose that the first few times you use it, the taste is “stout”.  If you prepare yourself for this and stick to the lesser number of recommended drops, gradually increasing if necessary, you will not be taken by surprise.  Their claims that it is stout, are spot on.  We’ve been using OraMD for about 4 weeks.  At first, I had to use it “with” toothpaste to withstand the bitterness of the flavor and I slowly weaned myself from using it with toothpaste.

I was motivated to bear the initial shock of the taste, which does disappear after approximately 3-7 uses, based on the fact that OraMD contains only all-natural, 100% pure ingredients, including peppermint oil, spearmint oil and almond oil.  Using natural products is a priority for my family.

Over the past four weeks, I’ve personally noticed a reduction in the occurrence of bleeding, swollen and red gums.  My initial interest in the product has definitely lived up to it’s claims.  For a moment, I reverted back to using OraMD with toothpaste versus alone and immediately, I experienced bleeding of the gums.  Naturally, this concerned me.

After using OraMD for quite some time, I feel that it’s a good replacement for both your regular toothpaste and mouthwash, as well as breath fresheners.  The ingredients are pure, it is effective in leaving your mouth feeling clean and your breath feeling fresh without the supplement of a commercial toothpaste or mouthwash.

My boyfriend, a smoker, no longer has unbearable breath.  It’s still stinky, but I’ve noticed drastic improvement after we switched from toothpaste, to toothpaste + OraMD to OraMD alone.

Of course, those are the most important aspects of the product.  You’ll also be pleased to know that OraMD is portable (convenient to carry in your purse or even your pocket), it’s MADE IN THE USA, Vegan and not tested on animals.

OraMD is safe for ages 3 and up, as well as for those with braces, veneers, bonds, crowns, fillings and dentures.  It’s fluoride free, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, GMO-free, formulated to eliminate 22 known harmful types of oral bacteria, alcohol-free, abrasive free and free of harsh chemicals.

How much does OraMD cost?

Money is always an object no matter what anyone says.  I get my toothpaste for free or less than $1 when buying commercially, but cost is no longer an issue when I consider all of the toxins being put into my mouth.  When compared to other gingivitis fighting products, OraMD saves 39% over leading brands.

OraMD offers a 1-year, 100% money-back guarantee.  That’s how confident they are in their product.

The manufacturer is willing to offer my readers one FREE bottle. They said they would love to have our readers try out OraMD and agreed to send one bottle FREE if our readers would pay a minimal shipping and handling charge.  They also agreed to include 2 eye-opening reports called 1) “The 6 Hidden Dangers In Toothpaste” and 2) “Why The FDA Requires A Warning Label On Your Toothpaste.”  That’s a total value of over $40.00.  Click here to get your FREE bottle and FREE reports now.
