About ToothFoods

Oral Care Reimagined. Oral Food Restored.

What made you search for something different in the virtual dental aisle?

Maybe your toothpaste left your mouth feeling dry, your gums more sensitive, or your intuition unsettled. Maybe, like us, you started asking:
Why are cavities and gum disease still rising despite brushing every day?
Why do “natural” toothpastes still use plastic, fillers, and foaming agents?
Why are we whitening teeth by stripping them, instead of feeding them?

At ToothFoods, we asked those same questions — and then we built the answers from scratch.

Our Founder

Meet the Founder

Sonia Pellerino, Biological Registered Dental Hygienist,

Conscious mother. Meditation teacher. Energy practitioner. Clinical innovator.

Sonia Pellerino is a Canadian Biological Dental Hygienist and the founder of Nirvana Dental Apothecary Clinics and ToothFoods.

She is a conscious mother, meditation teacher, and energy practitioner, with a mission to help humanity remember how to nourish the body at its most cellular level.

“The ability to shift your inner state through something as simple as your morning and evening swishing — using aromatherapy and living minerals — is revolutionary.”

Built in the Chair, Not the Lab

Sonia began researching biological dentistry in 1997, long before it was mainstream.
In 2010, she entered clinical practice in a biological dental office — and that’s where ToothFoods was born.

“I didn’t start ToothFoods in a lab or a factory. I started it chairside — one patient at a time. I created blends based on their oral terrain, their sensitivities, their lived experience. It was real, alive, and responsive. That’s what makes it powerful.”

Every formula was tested in real mouths — and evolved in real time.

2020: The World Needed ToothFoods

When COVID-19 hit in 2020, the conversation around immunity exploded — but something essential was missing:
    •    The skin microbiome is the first line of defense
    •    The oral microbiome is the second — and the entry point to your body

With immune systems compromised and mouths under constant assault by harsh commercial products, Sonia had no choice but to launch ToothFoods globally.

“The world needed ToothFoods — desperately.”

Why We Created ToothFoods

Conventional and even “natural” oral care is failing.

Most mainstream products — even the expensive ones — contain ingredients that:
    •    Strip the enamel instead of rebuilding it
    •    Use glycerin and foaming agents that block saliva’s natural remineralizing action
    •    Include abrasive fillers, plastic leachates, and hormone-disrupting preservatives
    •    Come packaged in heated plastic tubes that off-gas into your oral care

ToothFoods is different.

We use:
    •    The world’s highest-quality microhydroxyapatite — clinically proven, bioavailable, and small enough to penetrate dentinal tubules
    •    Enzymatic clays that support detoxification and remineralization
    •    Organic quorum-sensing essential oils that naturally disperse harmful biofilms without damaging the good bacteria
    •    Powerful oral prebiotics to feed beneficial microbes
    •    And we package every product in biophotonic violet glass — not plastic — to preserve potency, purity, and energetic integrity

How It Works

We don’t foam, bleach, or numb.
We feed.

ToothFoods supports:
    •    Enamel remineralization
    •    Dentin nourishment
    •    Microbiome balance
    •    Cellular energy (yes, even your oral cells have mitochondria)
    •    And the emotional nervous system — through intentional, therapeutic aromatherapy

When you swish, brush, and rinse with ToothFoods, you’re not just cleaning your mouth.
You’re shifting your chemistry, regulating your mood, and supporting every other system in your body.

The Oral Microbiome: Beyond the Mouth

When we say “oral microbiome,” we don’t just mean teeth and gums.
ToothFoods supports the broader network of microbiomes connected to your mouth, including:
Microbiome Region
How ToothFoods Supports It
Mouth (teeth, gums)
Prebiotics, micro-HAp, botanicals to balance bacteria and strengthen enamel
Sinuses + Nasal cavity
Reduced oral pathogens = fewer upward microbial migrations
Throat + Tonsils
Balanced oral biofilm = less inflammatory runoff into the lymphatic system
Middle Ear
Reduced inflammation supports healthier Eustachian tube and sinus pathways
Lungs
Lower oral toxicity improves what you inhale overnight during mouth breathing
Gut
Every time you swallow, your oral biome seeds your gut biome — we nourish the right ones
Skin + Breast Tissue
Less systemic inflammation = cleaner lymphatic flow and lower oral-to-body transmission.

What We Believe

We don’t believe in killing bacteria.
We believe in feeding the right ones.

We believe in oral care that doesn’t just clean — it nourishes, calms, strengthens, and awakens.

We believe your smile holds the potential to change your health — and your life.

Welcome to ToothFoods.
Let your mouth remember what it means to be fed.

“ Our oral microbiome mimics Earth’s oral microbiome, and our lifestyle’s microbiome.”  Sonia Pellerino RDH
We value Mother Earth, consciously aware of only taking what we need.  We created Tooth Foods.  To help clean our waters, drains, and earth as you spit us down your drains.   We use biophotic violet glass jars to maintain the bioavailability of the ingredients.  The cells in your mouth eat organic, wildcrafted, sustainably sourced, and GMO-free products and materials to maintain the purity and integrity of our ingredients and planet.  I think it's imperative when bringing products to the world, you are bringing the best and also being environmentally conscious of how they support your body and the earth.  Especially when it is food for your oral health and overall well-being.
