Dental Herb Company
Our office has recently started carrying products from The Dental Herb Company. These all natural products do not contain any alcohol, chemicals, SLS, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, or preservatives. They are made in the U.S. and not tested on animals. The Dental Herb Company Tooth & Gums System includes tooth and gum tonic, paste, spritz, and under the gums irrigant. The products contain essential oils and organically grown herbs that reduce oral bacteria to help achieve and maintain oral health. They are a natural treatment alternative for halitosis and periodontal disease.
There have been multiple research studies demonstrating the effectiveness of these products. In one study by the University of Rochester, the Tooth & Gums Tonic was found to be effective in reducing gingival inflammation, plaque, and whole mouth malodor in adult patients. Results from the Fresh Breath Study by the Clinical Research Associates showed that The Tooth & Gums Tonic masked bad breath for 52 minutes- longer than any other product tested. More research can be found on the company’s website.
The company founder believed the products should be used under the guidance of a dentist, so they are only sold through dental health professionals, not in retail stores.
