Chromogenic Bacteria stain on teeth

Hello Colleen,
Thank you very much for posting this. I read through all these entries looking for a solution and since you are the one who has had clear cut success, I will try your program, except that: I am a certified aromatherapist, and went to the website to see the products you are recommending, and, for any one out there who may be reading this and be on a budget, you can make your very own home-made OraWellnessHealThyMouth blend this way:
To one ounce (they sell theirs in half ounce bottles, here's a one ounce recipe:) of either almond oil or jojoba oil, add 1 drop each (do not over do it as these are all very strong oils: dilute!) essential oil of :cinnamon leaf, peppermint, spearmint, clove, myrrh. There you have it! I became an aromatherapist because these are traditionally the medicines of the people-- and I simply detest seeing extremely high priced products when people can make their own at home. No knocks on the company, am sure they are selling a good product and making a positive contribution and supporting themselves. But not all of us can afford to buy those products so here is the generic version! Yes it will be an initial investment in getting a bottle of each of those oils but once you have them, you can make almost limitless batches of this stuff.
Am going to try it and hope it works! thank you very much for sharing your success story, and I hope this post benefits you! Am going to make my own remineralizing toothpaste too: here's another recipe everyone: (found online): sorry not crediting properly but you can google their site am sure: She says:

" I got most of my ingredients from one of my sponsors, VitaCost. They’re quickly becoming one of my favorite places to shop online because they offer all the top, most trusted brands for vitamins, supplements, and whole foods, but at discount prices.
• 1/2 c. bentonite clay
• 3 Tbsp. xylitol powder
• 4 Tbsp. coconut oil, warmed to liquid
• 20 drops cinnamon essential oil
• 20 drops clove essential oil
• 30 drops Concentrace trace minerals
• 3 Tbsp. water (possibly more)
HOMEMADE TOOTHPASTE RECIPE: THE HOW-TO
Thankfully, I have a stainless steel blade on my food processor, so I have no qualms using my food processor to make this homemade toothpaste recipe.
Bentonite clay can act like a magnet attracting positively charged heavy metals from your utensils, so you only want it to come into contact with a truly stable metal like stainless steel (which is used to mine the clay).
1. Place all dry ingredients in the food processor and pulse until well mixed.
2. In a liquid measuring cup, mix coconut oil, essential oils, trace minerals, and water.
3. Slowly pour the liquids into your food processor while continuing to pulse. Mix until smooth; add more water if necessary to reach desired consistency.
4. Remove homemade toothpaste from food processor and store in a glass jar with a lid. This keeps rather well in a medicine cabinet, although with time the exposure to air may dry it out. If it starts drying out before you’ve had the chance to use it, just mix in a bit more water.

Oops please make that 2 drops of each essential oil per 1 oz carrier oil.
Also anyone interested in this topic may want to check out the correlation between anemia (iron deficient) and iron overload, both of which can cause excess iron in the saliva, which can bind with certain proteins found in dairy products and leave black stains. In that case you need to address the iron issue to get rid of the stains.

Oh good, I hope it works for you too! And thanks for sharing the recipes. I just signed up with doTerra so should definitely try making my own blend.
I am so relieved to not have the awful staining anymore so I am glad you posted and are trying it and hopefully with great results also! =)

How much water is needed to dilute it? And did you simply apply it like w a qtip?

My 20 month old son started developing these stains after I stopped breastfeeding several months ago. They are blacks streaks on the 2 bottom teeth and around the gum line on his 6 top teeth. We've taken him to two pediatric dental practices. I'm about to take him to pediatric dental teaching hospital out of desperation. I did notice the stains lightened when he was on amoxicillin, but quickly returned. There has to be a long term fix to adjust the bacteria in his mouth. Any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

Hello. This is my first time writing. I have had the black stains for 4+ years. I have just returned home from the dentist after my 6 month cleaning and things look great (just a few tiny areas are black between teeth that are close together). Well.... a new dentist came in to look me over after the cleaning, and after I talked about the black staining, she said "Do you swim?" And I said yes. Although I am not an everyday swimmer, I do use the mouth rinse Closys twice a day. She asked me about the swimming because she has several young patients who looked "like they smoke 3 packs a day". She finally figured out their common link was that they were all swimmers. It is her opinion that chlorine adheres to the chromogenic bacterial plaque. Her recommendation was to brush really well before swimming so there is less plaque available to be stained. I hope this post will help someone.

I meant to say that the chromogenic bacteria adheres to the plaque that has been exposed to chlorine. Does that sound right?

Plenty of professionals have their suggestions.. It's very unlikely this one has any merit. Best e diencephalic to date is u need to change the flora in your gut. It may take 6 months or more to c results. Mine is still there but negligible. Must do it the rest of your life. Look back over write ins at this site. I have the formula here from as Gastrointetologist. U just can't use any probiotics must have not the requirements. VSL3 is one of them.....Coat o may have it or pharmacy will order it.and liquid organic probiotics from health food store....which is KEFIR. one is Wallaby otherGreen Valley flavored r best use 2/3 each plus take Bob's flax seed grain Gold. Use 2 VSL3 a day with probiotics first 3 months then 1 time a day rest of your life. Your gut is producing a bacteria u do not want this turns bad bacteria into good. It changes the flora I gut so it changes the flora I. Mouth.

I've had this staining from early childhood... 2-3 years old and Cell Phones were not around. We didn't have internet back then. I was born in 1986. I don't agree that this could be linked at all to the bacteria. Now that I do have a cell phone and wi-fi my staining is a lot less actually.

Hello to everybody!
I really feel you guys, I've been suffering this staining for more than a decade so I hope my advice may be helpful.
It started back on the molars and through the years the bacteria colonised till the front teeth.
During those years I was able to maintain the stain controlled with 2 cleanings a year. But over the las three years it just was coming back over a month. You know, I felt so embarrased that I
rarely smiled on those years...
I went to an oral patologist. The doctor scratched some stain and checked on the microscope but acording to him everything was normal. So he told me that he was commited to research the literature to find a solution. Meanwhile he gave me a toothpaste and rinse that has been giving good results to his patients. I was esceptical because some years ago I tried several toothpastes with baking soda and all of them failed.
Well, The toothpaste and rinse are LACER BLANC. It reversed the stains in a month!!!
Now, 5 months later I have no stains. By now I'm using only the toothpaste and a drop of tea tree oil to get rid of the bacteria. I'm not sure if the tea tree oil is doing something, but I swear that LACER BLANC toothpaste made the difference for me.
I hope everybody will get rid of those awful stains, good luck!!

Things that didnt work for me:
- Baking soda toothpaste
- Xylitol (It worsened a lot)
- Oil pulling
- Cell salts
- Probiotics

I have the same issue with one of my kids. Dentists know less than me about this. I tried everything, but nothing has helped. But i know someone with the same problem and her daughter stopped having these stains when she was around six years old. So my boy is four now and in the mean time just continue trying to keep him out of cavities and taking off some of the stain with a dental scraper. So good luck with yours!

Salt crystals and lemon juice will cause erosion of enamel !

After your next scaling (cleaning) try using hexidine mouth wash twice daily for two weeks and then once daily for the following week ! This must take care of the bacterial adhesion to ur teeth and also definitely brushing regularly to get rid of any plaque

Tried all that stuff....never worked ...use probiotics like what I stated above for 5 months but must use rest of your life....dentist have no cure

Probiotics may be what got rid of my staining. I hadn't thought of that but I did start taking Bio-Kult Advanced Probiotic several months before my staining stopped, so not sure if it was that, or the electric toothbrush, tongue cleaning, Bass toothbrush, HealThy Mouth blend, saliva swishing, or all of the above. Lol I've tried everything! It's worth it tho. The stains are still a year later!
