• licorice root is effective against the bacteria which causes tooth decay and gum disease, both of which can lead to tooth loss.
• Acmella Oleracea is employed to treat toothaches and Gum Diseases.
• (Diluted) Tea tree oil is primarily used in products that heal gum infections and canker sores.
• Apples : We all know the sensation that follows eating an apple – that astringent property, where our gums feel squeaky clean. This is due, in part, to quercetin, which is found in apples, tea and onions, for example. It bears significant antimicrobial properties.Apple polyphenol also protects against periodontal ligament cell destruction associated with Porphyromonas gingivalis, a pathogenic anaerobic bacteria, infection.
