Smile! The Dental Upgrades Your Teeth Need Now

By Ella O., Nutrition Advisor

As we celebrate World Oral Health Day on March 20^th, discover the hygiene products that will help you perfect those pearly whites. 

Usually first introduced when we’re young, the overarching message about dental hygiene is the same throughout your life: diet and nutrition have a direct impact on oral health so brush every day and avoid sugary foods. Broken down simply, a dental-friendly diet contains plenty of fresh vegetables, wholefoods, healthy omega fats and lean protein, while refined carbohydrates and sugars are the enemy. Feeding bad bacteria, they can cause tooth decay and other gum and teeth-related issues. Read on to discover three key products you can incorporate into your dental routine now to keep your smile looking its best… 

Organic Upgrades For Toothpastes & Mouthwashes 

When it comes to a healthy set of teeth, nature knows best. Harnessing the power of soothing organic herbs well-known for their cleansing properties, the PerioBrite Natural Mouthwash supports tissue and gum health. Dentist formulated, it contains botanically-sourced ingredients to keep your mouth fresh and clean including Oregano, Cinnamon and Clove. Used daily as part of an oral health program, it naturally moistens gum tissue to promote periodontal health. With a sparkling cool sensation, it will also keep your breath minty-fresh. 

Having healthy, white teeth doesn’t require a host of chemical-filled abrasive toothpastes. PerioBrite, a low abrasive toothpaste contains soothing wild crafted herbs well-known for their cleansing action, and ingredients that promote overall gum health such as CoQ10 and Folic Acid. Use it daily before the PerioBrite Natural Mouthwash for a refreshingly beautiful, and natural smile.

Healthy Alternatives To Sugars & Sweeteners 

When it comes to your overall oral health, sugar is best avoided. If you’re craving something sweet, forget your daily habit of adding a spoon of sugar to your tea or coffee and instead opt for a natural sweetener. Yacon Syrup is a healthy, dental-friendly alternative. Its sweet taste is mainly comprised of FOS or Fructo-oligosaccharides which are prebiotic carbohydrates that support the growth of beneficial bacteria. 

Other foods that can help dental health are those that contain Calcium and Magnesium. Both of these help build and maintain strong, healthy teeth and can be found in green leafy vegetables, yoghurt, cheese, almonds and pumpkin seeds. 

Don’t forget your vitamins as well! Clinical studies highlight the important role Vitamin C plays in dental health by contributing to the normal collagen formation of healthy gums and teeth. Vitamin D is also offers oral health benefits, the best way to obtain it is from sunshine, and boosted Vitamin D3 supplements during the winter months.

Friendly Bacteria For Gum & Teeth Health 

Friendly bacteria is necessary for a healthy mouth, so it’s key to look for health products that contribute to this such as the PerioBrite Dry Mouth lozenges. Containing BLIS M18, an innovative and clinically-researched friendly bacteria, it inhibits bad bacteria and has been scientifically developed to support the health of teeth and gums (when used in conjunction with regular brushing). Used daily (up to 5), these lozenges dissolve slowly with a refreshing lemon-lime mint flavour to keep your mouth hydrated and feeling refreshed all day long.
