Thieves Dentarome Ultra Toothpaste - Review of a Young Living Product

There are so many dental products on the market that claim to whiten teeth. We have tried several and had varying results. Also, we have tried various products that are marketed to fight tarter, gingivitis and clean teeth.

Young Living Company has a product called Thieves Dentarome Ultra Toothpaste. This product contains ingredients including thieves, peppermint, cloves, eucalyptus globules, thyme and wintergreen.

Why is it named: Thieves? Young Living created this blend based on a historical account about four thieves in France. According to this account, the thieves protected themselves from the black plague with cloves, rosemary and other aromatics while the robbed the victims of this terminal disease. Ok, so these thieves were not on the "up and up" but clearly their use of this oil blend protected them from the disease, according to the historical account. The oils Young Living uses for its blend called Thieves includes clove, lemon, rosemary, cinnamon bark, and eucalyptus radiate and the blend is intended to provide the same type of defense.

How does it whiten teeth? According to young living's website, this product contains a whitening agent derived from papayas called papain which is an anti-stain enzyme.

How much does it cost? Retail cost of the product is $11.51 for 4.1 ounces.

So, now you have the company's information on ingredients, naming of the product, intended results and cost. How did it hold up in my opinion?

How did I find out about this product? Dr. Christine Malone of the Memphis area is who originally recommended this product to me. At the time, I was getting sick a lot and I was trying to eliminate germs from all angles. She referred me to the website and provided literature. I purchased the product directly from her.
