Natural oral care without chemicals
Great oral care means a good oral care routine. Just like a great skin care routine, taking care of your whole mouth will give you the results you want without scary teeth bleaching and whitening kits and harsh mouthwashes.
In Ayurvedic practice, the mouth is the source of what goes into your body. And the health of your mouth an accurate indicator of the overall health of the body. So good oral hygiene is absolutely key.
But we'll bet a holistic Ayurvedic approach won't be recommending standard toothpastes! Oral care for the most part today, is considered brushing your teeth twice a day.
Not bad. But we can do better.
Cleaning, pulling, gum health, restrengthening, re-mineralizing and tongue cleaning are all part of your holistic routine for true oral hygiene and care.
What chemicals are in Oral Products like mouthwash and toothpaste?
Normal everyday oral care with normal everyday products may be recommended. But you may be surprised by the ingredients.
The big baddie, Triclosan is now banned from oral and body wash products. In only 2017, it was discovered to be a thyroid hormone disruptor that contributed to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and an increased risk of cancer.
But other chemicals lurk in what you put in your mouth every day.
Fluoride is in most dental products. As is alcohol. Both are effective at killing bacteria, but at what cost to your overall health? Fluoride is celebrated for its ability to remineralise teeth, but traditional toothpaste does not contain nearly enough fluoride for users to actually reap the benefits of remineralisation. And it is a toxic chemical.
Diethanolamine (DEA) is a foaming agent (makes your toothpaste foamy and feels more effective), but is a irritant, human respiratory toxin, and carcinogen.
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is an inorganic chemical compound that is widely used in toothpaste because it adds toothpaste’s signature white color.
Aside from not providing any oral benefits whatsoever, titanium dioxide is only safe when it is not absorbed. While we don’t swallow toothpaste and therefore swallow titanium dioxide, the membranes inside our mouths may very well absorb concentrations of titanium dioxide.
These are just a few of the chemicals commonly found in oral products. Yikes.
Natural ingredients are powerful and effective for oral hygiene
As always, Mother Nature provides. And when it comes to a great oral hygiene routine, she does have the ingredients to really clean your mouth, gums and teeth effectively and deeply.
Not only that, but you can totally ditch the plastic in your daily oral routine.
Safe, sustainable and smiling!
