Oral cancer? A coworker of mine was raving about this product to us, and another co worker overheard. She then came over and started telling us about how she had heard that this product caused oral cancer. I wanted to try this item, but the whole cancer thing makes me feel uneasy about it. I searched for information regarding cancer in relation to whitening strips but I found nothing. I am curious if anyone else has read or heard of this type of product causing oral cancer?Thanks in advance. Oral cancer?

No not with this product. However, in my opinion it's important that you do not brush your teeth before you use strips. It's loosens the gums allowing cleaning product to get in gums, it burns and it's painful. After removing the strips brush carefully around the gum area. I think this is the best product on the market for the price and much better than the pricey dental office procedures.

I am an oral cancer patient and none of my doctors has suggested that there is any connection between whitening products and oral cancer. You should be a lot more worried about tobacco/alcohol and HPV.

The use of peroxide in the mouth has been linked to oral cancer in some studies; however, the research I've read has indicated that this was the case when peroxide was used extensively and for long periods of time. As with anything, don't overdo. I would try to limit exposure of the peroxide to your teeth, and not to your gums or tongue, etc.

I was wondering the same thing---a little concerned that I am drinking motor oil or wallpaper solvent---and yes it does burn my throat. Yikes--hope this is all in the name of good health. Glad I am not alone..so hard to really trust what you buy online.

First off, it's not in your mouth all that long unless you suffer from dry mouth. The color that it 'melts' away to is red. I've seen red after brushing my teeth in the saliva but never have I ever had staining on my teeth from these. You really shouldn't worry about this as you're supposed to let it fully dissolve under your tongue, not anywhere else in the mouth. Anywhere else in the mouth would NOT allow the B12 to be absorbed properly and would be a waste of product and money.

I have heard this same thing. It hurt my sisters teeth after a bit. If you have sensitive teeth, then in it will cause pain. It doesn't bother me at all.

It did not work on my regular teeth..I don't know why these people are lying about the product. If you want to whiten teeth then go to the dentist and get it done the right way.

This product claims to stop morning breath which it does. Would a professor of Oral Biology and pathology (Israel Kleinberg) or the developer - Dr. Marvin Cohen market an unsafe product? Every customer needs to make their own decisions and should research any product before they invest their money. Dridi, the choice is yours to make. The ADA has a website that should be helpful.Thank you for the question. Be careful with your spelling.

I just used 20% salicylic last night on my face and the white frost appeared around my mouth only. This morning it still burns and is darker in color, not to mention dry. I'm a little freaked out by the discoloration. Will try to update results. If anyone has had this happen would love to hear results!!!

I don't know. I like the product. It does have a Dentist Office smell when you open it, so that may be a disinfecting product of some sort. But again I like having a sterile toothbruch in my work area for after lunch. Really handy for me.

Alluminum and Nickle lead all caused cancer but you said that you thought that they may have be taken heavy metal out of their product and that is too what I read somewhere. Phennylalamine is an amino acid and the state of California has banned it .Do you think they took it out too?Please e mail me if allowed if bit leave a comment thx medicine

Hi--The active ingredient is chlorine dioxide, which is supposed to help eliminate plaque-causing bacteria. This ingredient is found in more than one reputable product. I subscribe to Tufts University's cat newsletter and to Cat Fancy magazine. I haven't heard anything negative about this product. Plaque is a long-term health risk for sure, as is the anesthesia used for dental cleanings. Check with your vet, I'm just someone who loves his cat! I'd be more worried about the serious risks of too-frequent vaccinations and site sarcomas. If you learn of anything dangerous about this product, I'd really appreciate it if you'd reply to this post and let me know. Best of luck in your search for information.

I don't remember any cancer warning on the label but that doesn't mean it's not there.. I will say this about that particular shower head, I bought it on another site other than (Amazon) and best thing I can say, "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY" it doesn't work as well as I hoped it would and there are a lot better made shower heads in your local big box stores, thanks for taking the time to ask "one very disappointed customer".. Hope this helped, Bobby!!

No opinion as to that question...the horrible horrible smell of that product makes it a menace to society as far as I am concerned. Instant nausea!!

Hi Michael, I did a litte research and there were no harmful effects that i can see but the tooth sensitivity was greatly increased when I used the product. I could not use the product fro more then 2 days in one session.

I sent an email to doterra as well and I received an email back saying that they would pass my email along to their product development team. It's very unfortunate that they are using these ingredients in an 'all natural' toothpaste, very deceiving...

I have read this about the supplement;however, my quest was for the antioxidant effects. I'm pretty sure you are referring to a whitening that many people seek. If I were to get any whiter, I might be transparent. :) so, I'd have to say I have not noticed that, after using it for about three months!

Before I purchased, I believe I either called them about something, or if you go to their website, you can email your question. I can tell you that all other deodorants caused my lymph nodes to swell and hurt and this product does not. Hope you are able to get your answer.

Not at all normal! Unless you have spent (reused flossine) in the hot plate. Other than that I can't see a reasonable explanation for it to smoke. I used mine for the second time two weekends ago for a corporate event and works great. The only thing that was problematic was a bit of flossing build up on the upper lip of the hot plate (just shut down, wait for the plate to cool and peel of; the manual states to shut off the unit at least every hour for a few minutes or if you have a lull in customers shut of the Controller). Sorry not much help for question but definitely have a qualified technician diagnose for you. Not at all normal! Unless you have spent (reused flossine) in the hot plate.
