About the Herbs in our Tooth and Gum Herbal Powder
White Oak Bark for Teeth and Gums
Before toothpaste came into wide use, many people used white oak bark to keep their mouths healthy. This is based on its ability to target oral infections, toothaches, gingivitis, and oral sores. Plus, you can make a tea from the bark or its extract and use it as an all-natural, organic mouthwash.
Benefits of Neem for Teeth and Gums
Antibacterial and Anti-inflammatory Properties: Neem contains compounds such as azadirachtin and nimbidin, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. These compounds can help reduce the growth of bacteria that cause tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
Plaque Reduction: Neem can help reduce plaque buildup on teeth. The antibacterial properties of neem can inhibit the formation of bacterial colonies that contribute to plaque.
Gum Health Improvement: Neem has been shown to improve gum health by reducing inflammation and bleeding. It may also help strengthen gum tissue.
Tooth Whitening: Neem may have teeth-whitening properties. The astringent nature of neem can help remove surface stains and discoloration.
Fresh Breath: Neem’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help improve bad breath by reducing the presence of odor-causing bacteria.
Fresh Clove
Cloves can help with toothaches, gum disease, and cavities. The active ingredient in cloves, eugenol, has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anesthetic properties.
More Benefits of Cloves for teeth and gums
- Antibacterial: Cloves can help prevent tooth decay by killing bacteria like Streptococcus mutans, which is a leading cause of cavities.
- Anti-inflammatory: Cloves can help reduce inflammation from gum disease and toothaches.
- Pain relief: Cloves can provide temporary relief from toothaches.
- Bleaching: Cloves can help whiten teeth.
- Oral hygiene: Cloves can help freshen breath, reduce plaque buildup, and prevent gum disease.
Benefits of Baking Soda (aluminum free) for teeth and gums
Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, has several potential benefits for oral health when used appropriately. These include:
Whitening: Baking soda is a mild abrasive that can help remove surface stains from teeth, making them appear whiter.
Neutralizing acidity: Baking soda is alkaline and can neutralize the acidic environment in the mouth caused by foods and bacteria. This helps prevent tooth decay and enamel erosion.
Reducing plaque: Baking soda can help break down plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum disease.
Fresh breath: Baking soda can help neutralize bad breath by absorbing and neutralizing odor-causing compounds.
Anti-inflammatory properties: Baking soda may have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe gum irritation and reduce pain from canker sores.
Organic Xylitol:
-
Prevents Tooth Decay: Xylitol is a sugar alcohol that cannot be fermented by oral bacteria, thus reducing the acid production that leads to tooth decay. It’s shown to decrease new caries formation.
-
Reduces Plaque: Regular use of xylitol can help reduce plaque accumulation by altering the bacterial composition in the mouth.
-
Increases Saliva Flow: Xylitol stimulates saliva production, which helps in neutralizing acids, remineralizing tooth enamel, and maintaining a healthy oral environment.
Egg Shells (Calcium):
-
Source of Calcium: Eggshells are predominantly calcium carbonate, which is a bioavailable form of calcium. Calcium is essential for strong teeth and bones.
-
Remineralization: The calcium in eggshells can contribute to the remineralization process of tooth enamel, potentially preventing or reversing small areas of decay.
-
Note: While beneficial, eggshells need to be properly cleaned, sterilized, and ground into a fine powder to be safely used in oral care products.
Magnesium Chloride:
-
Strengthens Enamel: Magnesium is crucial for bone and tooth structure. It can aid in the fortification of tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay.
-
Neutralizes Acids: Magnesium can help in neutralizing acids in the mouth, reducing the risk of demineralization of tooth enamel.
-
Anti-inflammatory Properties: Magnesium might have anti-inflammatory effects which could be beneficial for oral health, reducing gum inflammation.
Organic Spearmint Leaf:
-
Antimicrobial Properties: Spearmint has natural antimicrobial properties which can help in controlling bacterial growth in the mouth, thus reducing bad breath and plaque formation.
-
Freshens Breath: The natural mint flavor helps in freshening breath, making it a pleasant additive in oral care products.
-
Promotes Saliva Production: Like xylitol, spearmint can stimulate saliva flow, which aids in keeping the mouth clean and reducing the incidence of tooth decay.
