A bright and friendly smile makes a good impression. Cavities and stains are often caused by coffee, tea, certain foods and sugary beverages left unbrushed.

Entrepreneur Jessica Arman, not satisfied with the results of commercial dental products whipped up some home remedies for her daughter Allie, prone to cavities and tooth sensitivity. Jessica wanted to make tooth brushing appealing, while bringing positive results. She added a touch of sea salt, baking soda, charcoal, and other secret ingredients to create “My Magic Mud” toothpaste.

With this special recipe, she engaged an independent, third-party lab to test the effectiveness of her black toothpaste and tooth powder products for stain removal. After group studies, the lab gave her a positive results and she started manufacturing vegan, cruelty free, gluten free and non GMO tooth products.

Meeting her daughter Allie at a Consumer Products Event, I committed myself to a two week challenge to see if her mom’s dental products really worked. I was first drawn to the “My Magic Mud” oral rinse. This charcoal activated, alcohol-free rinse is in an easy to hold flask shaped plastic bottle. With a shake to activate the charcoal, I took a swig and swished for about 45 seconds. The first thing I noticed was a pleasing cinnamon essence with a hint of clove. It enhanced my mouthfeel and breath. Allie recommended using this after brushing my teeth in the morning and before bedtime.

Next she gave me instructions for a three step dental hygiene challenge:

  1. Floss with the black charcoal activated dental floss that is coated in natural wax, promoting smooth flossing.
  2. Put a pea size dot of “My Magic Mud Whitening Toothpaste” on my electric toothbrush. Instantly I noticed my teeth and gums turn an interesting shade of gray/black. The coloring and consistency is from charcoal powder made from activated coconut shell charcoal. With a swish of water, a stream of black liquid vanished down the drain and my teeth were white again.
  3. Swirl a swig of the oral rinse and have a good spit. I noticed my teeth looked clean, whiter and my mouth felt minty fresh.

Two weeks after using these products my smile has been enhanced. My teeth are a few degrees lighter, and I actually look forward to brushing my teeth in the morning and evening, because of the pleasing flavors and dramatic black appearance when using “My Magic Mud.”

I started having my teenage daughter use the products and she enjoys them too. “My Magic Mud” takes the mundane out of brushing teeth, while encouraging users to swish with a magical black rinse for fresh breath and a confident smile.
