 make your own, Sep 14, 2010
By caroline61
i have tried oramd and it worked wonders for my receding bleeding gums and bad breath but i found it to be expensive ,but when i seen the ingrediants (spearmint peppermint and almond oil )i decided to try my own remedy ,so ordered 100 ml of all these oils wich cost me around £15.00 i kept my empty bottle of oramd and put 6ml of peppermint ,6ml of spearmint and 3 ml of almond oil in the bottle and it tasted a bit stronger than the oramd and works just the same but at a fraction of the cost of a 15ml bottle of oramd and a stronger strengh,so try your own at home before spending a little fortune on this stuff.

OraMD definitely works! Oct 20, 2009
By J. E. Stachowicz
"JackS124"
I was initially skeptical of OraMD and the effectiveness of the product. All I can say is it definitely works and works well!
In the last 6 months, after what I thought was a diligent routine of brushing and flossing, my gum's began to get sore and started bleeding with vigorous brushing. A visit to my dentist revealed I had developed severe gingivitis, with some deep pockets (4-6 mm) developing around some of my molars, both upper and lower. Without treatment, the condition would worsen to full periodontal disease with the potential of loss of teeth.
After 4 visits involving painful rounds of scaling and root planing, I started to investigate any other alternatives to regular toothpaste that would help to reduce the soreness of my gum's and improve their condition. That's when I came across OraMD.
As the product description mentions, OraMD is not a paste but an oil made of the extracts of peppermint, spearmint and almond. As an oil, it clings to and coats the teeth and penetrates between the teeth and under the gum line. The OraMd website and the literature included with the order indicates that the 3 blended oils are a natural anti-bacterial that fights the build-up of plaque and the bacteria that forms between the teeth and at/under the gum line.
I initially purchased 1 bottle of the regular strength formula. First off, you don't need to use a lot during each brushing. The recommendation is to use 2 drops on your tooth brush, but I found that not to be enough so I usually use 4 drops. Then you just brush your teeth as normal, 30 seconds per quadrant. You should also brush your tongue and the roof of your mouth. Then just rinse with water.
Within 3 days of starting use, my gums began to stop hurting and stopped bleeding. I also noted they turned from being very red around the gum line to looking pink, firm and healthy. The areas of the deepest pockets also showed improvement. My 3 month check-up after the scaling and root planing was excellent, with the hygienist complimenting me on how free of build-up and healthy my gum's looked.
My daily routine is now to brush with regular toothpaste, use a Water Pik and then end by brushing with OraMD, followed by a gargle of just water and 2-4 drops of OraMD mixed in. The results speak for themselves. My mouth, teeth, tongue and gum's feel very clean and refreshed.
Just one note of caution - being a concentrated extract of the 3 oils, OraMD has a very strong, minty taste that may take getting used to. On my first use, the oil on my tongue produced a strong tingling sensation that may take a bit to get accustomed to for some. But stick with it - within a few days you'll start to see results.

OraMD is a god-send Dec 05, 2009
By Ted R. Smith

I have been using OraMD for over a year and 1/2 now as my only "toothpaste". It has basically cured me of periodontal disease and has assisted in my teeth healing themselves (so-called tooth remineralization).
Don't get the costly antibiotic treatment! Get OraMD instead! See my review on OraMD Extra Strength, too.

Good but pricey product Dec 01, 2010
By NancyL
I have had receding gums for years, but in April my dentist at the time was very alarmed about the worsening condition, and threatened that I would need grafts and likely lose my teeth if I did not get this under control. I made a number of changes, including purchasing and using the OraMD. Other changes including switching to a Sonicare toothbrush, better diet, and vitamin supplementation.
In July I started seeing a new dentist. Their measurements indicated less recision in some places than my previous dentist had measured, but still enough to be concerned about, and there was still infection in some locations. He did a laser treatment of the infected areas. He also suggested a couple of other toothpastes which I tried, but I've ended up coming back to the OraMD. It seems to do a better job of preventing plaque build-up.
In October, my gums had improved enough to consider going back to six month check-ups. The gum tissue is pink and healthy and the infection is gone. Since I made a number of changes at once, I cannot say for certain the improvement was due to the OraMD. The items below are the other changes I have stayed with that I think have also contributed to improvement:
--Sonicare toothbrush
--Alkalizing diet (google it if you don't know what this is)
--Oil pulling with sesame oil & 1-2 drops oregano oil if gum irritation returns (google this as well)
--Vitamin C
--eliminating all products containing sodium lauryl sulfate
I will continue using the OraMD, even though I think it is overpriced.

Oramd= $ Dec 25, 2009
By Amazing Asian
I give Oramd 4 stars. It is literally the only product I use now along w/ floss for my daily dental care. The stuff works wonders (no joke)! I like this product b/c it actually did make my gums a lot healthier; before I used Oramd I had red gums, which wasn't normal. After using Oramd for about a month my gums are actually pink now. I think it has to do w/ the fact that the product gets rid of the placque around the gum lines so well and is the reason why my gums are so healthy now. My recommendation to people who use this is that they should brush 3 times a day (once after every meal), instead of 2 times a day like the other reviewer (who likely had brown teeth b/c they brushed only 2 times a day).
Pros
- gets rid of the placque around the gum line area
- has a incredibly nice spear mint smell
- makes mouth a whole lot cleaner than regular tooth paste
- requires less force , when brushing, to get rid of the placque so you won't be brushing away at enamel and gum tisse
Cons
- Comes in a small little glass vile (lasts about 3 months if you use it 2 times a day as a tooth paste replacement), but after you've used the product it'll probably only last a month b/c of the frequent use
This is the reason why the product got a 4 instead of a 5. Also the product does not whiten your teeth (it doesn't claim to do that).
All in all I will be purchasing 3 more viles of this stuff, which will probably last 6 months if I start using it more smartly. I'd also like to add that this stuff is good for dates also, it makes your breath smell minty for around 30 mins to an 1 hour.
Thumbs up
