How oils are sourced is vitally important for both safety & effectiveness:

To be both safe & effective, essential oils must be both pure & potent.

Sourcing is of primary concern to make sure purity & potency standards are both met. This is where doTERRA stands alone in the world of essential oils.

doTERRA is the largest essential oil company inthe world. They also are one of the very few companies that provide you with access to 3rd party testing results done on every single bottle. Explore what this looks like at Source to You.

On Source to You, you can scan the Quality ID of your essential oil bottle to see the GC/MS report for that particular bottle. This shows the exact constituents found in that bottle.

DENTISTS

Interview with a dentist that has integrated doTERRA:

In your practice, do you ever apply oils topically on patients, for relaxing or anything else?  

We diffuse the oils in the office. I have recommended topical application to some patients to help with anxiety (Balance, Lavender, Serenity, Citrus). In a dental office that is a spa type setting or just wants to be different and set themselves apart, it would be really cool to have a dental assistant trained to do a “Aromatouch Hand Technique” on patients before their procedure. You could also give each patient a “menu” that shows several different oils, their properties, and then put a drop on their bib, or behind their ears.   

I know clove can be used for tooth pain. Do you ever use that for procedures? What do you think is the most painful procedure that clove could be used for exclusively?

It sounds like your doc is already working with this…here’s my typical response below...

I would not bring this up with the dentist, yes clove is good for tooth pain, but that is only a “bandaid” until you can get it taken care of at the dentist. I have patients that have used clove as their anesthetic, but I would not recommend this. Also, you need to be aware that the eugenol in Clove oil will inhibit the bonding agents dentists use to bond fillings or crowns or veneers onto your teeth. After the bonding is complete, the Clove/Eugenol will NOT affect the bond.

I know the Oils can be used for cleaning as well. Do you use them for cleaning anything, or sterilizing any equipment?

I have not seen enough documentation on whether the oils as a surface antiseptic meet OSHA standards. I would have to look into this further and see what the requirements are. As for sterilizing equipment I think dentists should stick with using their Autoclave to guarantee sterility. I recommend running a diffuser at night with OnGuard as an added line of defense.

Do you use or promote peppermint or other oils as a mouthwash?

I recommend patients use a drop of peppermint and 2 drops of OnGuard in a Tablespoon of water. You can also add Melaleuca and Myrrh. Swish for 30 seconds and spit. I feel this is a great alternative.

Now that we have OnGuard Mouthwash, I prefer it to a homemade blend. Why? It has all the oils, plus the Xylitol is incredibly important for oral support and maintaining a healthy pH in the mouth. Your doctor will already be well aware of this.

I imagine you promote the On Guard toothpaste. What info or experiences do you think a dentist would like to hear about that?

Yes, especially for patients with periodontal disease or requesting a fluoride free option. We have seen significant improvement to patients with Periodontal disease who are treated with Scaling and Root Planing, followed by using OnGuard Toothpaste daily. (Now I would also add OG mouth rinse) When coupled with Lifelong Vitality Pack healing is increased even more. (Studies show antioxidant supplementation is beneficial in treating periodontal disease) I have included some studies and documentation on OnGuard Toothpaste. Some dentists will be concerned that it does not have fluoride.  Tell them it has Calcium Hydroxyapatite as the active remineralizing agent to replace fluoride. They can, with confidence, recommend it to all patients, and especially those that ask for a fluoride free toothpaste.

It is estimated up to 30% of adults experience anxiety related to going to the dentist. A recent randomized clinical trial found that inhaling lavender essential oil for three minutes prior to wisdom teeth removal reduced anxiety. Almost 98% of study participants said they would want to inhale lavender again prior to a dental procedure: CLICK HERE
