Aloe Oral Healthcare - A Natural Antiseptic that Kills the Bacteria and Protects Teeth & GumsAloe Oral Healthcare - New research published in the Academy of General Dentistry in June 2009 has revealed that the use of aloe as a toothpaste provides clean, healthy teeth as it eliminates the bacteria which causes cavities just as well as normal toothpaste. The study compared the use of aloe vera gel against two popular brands of toothpaste and found that it was as effective and in some cases more effective than the toothpaste when it came to eliminating bacteria.

Because the gel lacks any of the abrasive content present in normal toothpaste it is a gentle alternative for those who experience the unpleasant and even painful sensations realted to having sensitive teeth. It does advise however that before starting to use aloe tooth gel as toothpaste a dentist should be consulted. As aloe also contains antiseptic properties using it as toothpaste will of course your keep your teeth and gums clean and free from bacteria. Gum disease is a serious problem as it can and has been known to lead to amongst other health issues, heart attacks. This is as a result of the bacteria from your gums eventually making its way into the blood stream and causing a build up of plaque in the arteries effectively creating blockages and inflammation. Needless to say that toxins leaking from the gums into the blood stream is not conducive to anyone keeping in good health. Having always been aware of the health benefits of aloe vera I cannot say that I am at all surprised at learning that once again this plant has proven its worth as a potentially new mouth care system. However, as I have pointed out before on this site, not all aloe is equal and because the plant has to be processed in a very precise way in order to preserve and stabilise the gel. This is because there are thousands of products which claim to contain aloe, however, it could be that the percentage of aloe in a particular product is so minute as to be irrelevant or alternatively, the aloe has not been manufactured to the correct criteria which means that it will be ineffectual as it will no longer contain any of its active properties thereby making it completely useless. It is therefore a good idea to read the label carefully to check the percentage of aloe that is actually contained in the product, good products usually contain about 80% so anything less and the product is probably not up to much. You could also check the product with the International Aloe Council however, not all products are registered with them as some manufacturers are not prepared to pay for this service but their product is of high quality, so it really is a case of checking labels for content or even purchasing your own aloe plant and making your own toothpaste at home.
