Aloe Vera Gets Thumbs Up on Oral Care
If your teeth feel sensitive or your gums bleed when you brush, finding the right toothpaste is more than a simple choice to prevent tooth decay.
People with sensitive teeth or those who suffer from chronic mouth ulcers need more than just the ordinary toothpaste or mouthwash. Aloe Vera toothgel is now in the market to provide a solution to sensitive teeth and gum problems.
The Academy of General Dentistry in its May/June 2009 issue of the General Dentistry Journal, has stated that Aloe Vera toothgel has combined properties that tackle the problem of sensitive teeth and gums as it provides cavity-fighting protection.
Dental experts and professionals have argued about the capacity of Aloe Vera toothgel to eradicate disease-causing bacteria and other harmful microorganisms in the mouth. The Academy has finally furnished the answers and attests that Aloe Vera toothgel is proven to be effective in fighting germs that accumulate in the mouth. A recent experiment tested the germ-fighting properties of 2 well-known toothpaste brands alongside Aloe Vera toothgel and found the latter to be equally, and at some point even more effective in eradicating cavity-causing microflora in the mouth and gums.
The germ-fighting qualities of Aloe Vera toothgel can be attributed to its natural anthraquinone content – chemical compounds which also provide analgesic, anti-fungal, and anti-viral activity when used in low doses. It’s also really helpful to people with sensitivity issues since Aloe Vera toothgel contains no harsh abrasive components found in regular toothpastes.
Overall physical health is directly related to oral and dental health. Gingivitis or gum disease has been directly linked to more serious medical conditions such as diabetes, stroke, heart and lung diseases. Harmful germs and bacterial build-up in the mouth can cause periodontal disease and premature tooth loss. Apart from that, disease-causing bacteria can travel though the bloodstream and spread infection to the other organs of the body.
An interesting study on this was conducted by Emory University along with with the Center for Disease Control. Principals of the study found out that people who had gum disease and other oral infections had an almost 50% chance of dying earlier that those without the disease.
Aloe Vera toothgel provides preventative and curative measures against gingivitis and periodontitis. Its powerful antiseptic properties can reach all areas of the mouth to kill disease-causing bacteria. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties on the other hand, reduce soft tissue swelling and minimize bleeding of the gums.
There are many Aloe Vera toothgels available, but not all contain the essential medicinal properties needed to fight dental caries and care for sensitive teeth. In fact only a few varieties out of the more than 300 aloe species contain significant levels of these healing attributes.
The International Aloe Science Council was formed to provide and enforce quality control procedures in the production of Aloe Vera health care products. It provides certifications and seals of quality to manufacturers who match or exceed industry standards and provides consumers with the assurance that they are purchasing industry compliant products.
Forever Bright Aloe Vera Toothgel is the first toothgel to have been awarded the Council quality seal. It is fluoride-free, therefore it is gentle and non-abrasive to the gums and teeth. It also has the natural healing antibiotic Bee Propolis. Forever Bright strengthens, nourishes and protects both teeth and gums from bacteria build-up as it fights plaque and whitens teeth without harmful bleaching components. Forever Bright comes in a minty gel-based formula which both adults and children will love.
