If
you are brushing your teeth with regular toothpaste that has triclosan in
it, and you are rinsing with tap water that has chlorine in it, you are getting
a little chemical reaction right in your mouth.
About our
Solay Smile Natural Tooth Powder and Ingredients:
Essential
Oils We Use:
Cloves were
important in the earliest spice trade. With a strong aroma and hot and pungent
taste, they are used to flavour many foods. Clove oil is sometimes used as a local
anesthetic for toothaches. Eugenol, its principal ingredient, is used in germicides,
perfumes, and mouthwashes, in the synthesis of vanillin, and as a sweetener or
flavour intensifier. It is often considered medicinal and antiseptic.
Spearmint principal uses of the oil are in flavoring gum, toothpaste, and candy. Recent
research indicates that spearmint may have useful antibacterial properties in
addition to its traditional uses as a digestive aid. It is high in vitamins A
and C. In general, field mint is said to be helpful in stimulating movement of
the qi or life energy that may become stagnated in the liver.
Peppermint is a cooling, relaxing herb that contains properties that help ease inflamed
tissues, calm muscle spasms or cramps, and inhibit bacteria and microorganisms.
It also has pain-relieving and infection-preventing qualities. Peppermint also
contains vitamins A and C, magnesium, potassium, inositol, niacin, copper, iodine,
silicon, iron, and sulfur.
The essential
oil is a powerful antiseptic and is useful in treating bad breath and sore throats.
It is also beneficial in preventing tooth decay and gum disease.
Pure
xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar.
Studies using xylitol as either a sugar substitute or a small dietary addition
have demonstrated a dramatic reduction in new tooth decay, along with arrest and
even some reversal of existing dental caries. Xylitol provides additional protection
that enhances all existing prevention methods. This xylitol effect is long-lasting
and possibly permanent. Low decay rates persist even years after the trials have
been completed.
Xylitol is right here,
inside, already. Our bodies produce up to 15 grams of xylitol from other food
sources using established energy pathways. Xylitol is not a strange or artificial
substance, but a normal part of everyday metabolism. Xylitol is widely distributed
throughout nature in small amounts. Some of the best sources are fruits, berries,
mushrooms lettuce, hardwoods, and corn cobs. One cup of raspberries contains less
than one gram of xylitol. Chewing is a natural process and chewing gums provide
some exercise lacking in a refined diet. If chewing is uncomfortable, xylitol
mints or candies can also stimulate saliva, the natural tooth protector. Courtesy
