Tooth Tale

Send to a friend

This tooth brightener is chemical-free.

Ophelia (picking herbs): There's calendula and witch hazel, licorice root and yerba maté...

Hamlet: She's mad.

Ophelia: No, just following a tooth whitening recipe from my friend, Estrella.

Hamlet: A what?

Ophelia: Well, I was feeling down in the bogs, and Estrella said she could brighten things up. Oh! There's aloe vera, green tea and papain, too.

Hamlet: What do the herbs do?

Ophelia: They're a blend from Dr. David Villarreal, a bio-compatible dentist in Westlake Village who manufactures in LA. The essential oils clean the mouth and teeth and freshen the breath. More herbs and a pinch of silica and bamboo powder removes dullness. Not an artificial thing in it. It tastes a bit like medicinal tea.

Hamlet: So you aren't going to drown yourself?

Ophelia: Not since I found something to smile about.
