subject: Vies Natural Toothpaste: An In-depth [print this page] Since commercial toothpaste can find easy, you may thinking why anyone would be concerned enough to seek out a natural alternative. Well, there are plenty of reasons why you might want to try natural toothpaste, and most of them have more to do with what's in your regular toothpaste than what is in the natural variety.
Regular toothpaste is filled with ingredients that can be harmful to us, especially in large doses. These include: Fluoride - while fluoride can fight cavities, it can also cause a lot of problems. As you can see, fluoride is harmful in high amount, and can cause mottled teeth if you're overexposed. It has even been linked to learning disabilities in high doses. Flouride are present in water supplies, which is more enough, even for the average child. Adults certainly have no reason to have fluoride in their toothpaste. Are you aware that one common way of creating fluoride is by purifying airborne industrial waste given off by fertilizer producers?
SLS - Sodium Laurel Sulfate is used in commercial toothpaste to make it fluff. It's a detergent; you'll also find it in most shampoos. It is a skin irritant for most people and can lead canker sores in those already prone to them.Saccharin -Saccharin is used to sweeten many toothpastes and mouthwashes. It has been proven to lead kidney cancer in lab rats and is rarely used as a sweetener in foods today because of this.
Natural toothpastes use ingredients as mint and other herbs, which are natural breath fresheners ingredients. These natural toothpastes aren't made to function like soap for the teeth, like the regular toothpastes do. You see, most of the cleaning of your teeth comes from the physical act of brushing, anyway. You can brush with water and get most of the food and debris off your teeth. Toothpaste should eliminate the germs that lead gingivitis and bad breath. Mint is the number one in germ killers for the mouth and is found in all natural toothpastes.
The way to success in the fight against gum disease and most oral problems are hidden in nature. Eliminating the bacteria that causes the problem is the main focus to start and specific species of peppermint and spearmint oils are scientifically proven to be anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-microbial. Take your mouth in mint condition this time!
