If your teeth feel sensitive or your gums bleed when you brush, finding the right toothpaste goes beyond just how effective it is at fighting cavities.
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 available to help solve these problems .
The Academy of General Dentistry in its May/June 2009 issue of the General Dentistry Journal, claims that Aloe Vera toothgel is effective as a cavity-preventing measure aside from working well on sensitive teeth and gums.
People in the dental profession have long debated the ability 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 study compared the pathogen-fighting properties of 2 commercially available toothpaste preparations alongside Aloe Vera toothgel and found the latter to be equally or even more effective in eradicating cavity-causing microflora in the mouth and gums.
The germ-fighting qualities of Aloe Vera toothgel is due to the fact that it contains natural anthraquinones – 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 affected by oral or dental conditions. Gingivitis or gum disease has been found to aggravate certain ailments 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. In addition to that, disease-causing bacteria is carried in the bloodsteam and can spread infection to the other organs of the body.
An interesting study on this was conducted by Emory University together with the Center for Disease Control. Researchers established that people with gingivitis and other forms of periodontal diseases 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. It has powerful antiseptic characteristics that 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.
Not all Aloe Vera toothgel formulas contain these necessary medicinal properties however. 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 regulate and ensure quality control procedures in the manufacture of Aloe Vera health care products. It awards quality seals 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 contains no fluoride, 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 is available in a mint flavored gel formula which both adults and children will love.
