Cinnamon Clove Toothpaste

Do you have red gums? bleeding gums? inflamed gums? painful gums? or all the above?

This cinnamon + clove formula is made specifically to promote health for gum disease in all stages.  While protecting against bacteria and gum infections (because that's what gum disease is), it encourages remineralization of tooth enamel by neutralizing acids and bacteria, supplying calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus for strengthening teeth, and maintaining a naturally alkaline ph. Aids in the prevention of gingivitis and periodontal disease. 

What makes it effective?

Antibacterial:

Cinnamaldehyde appears to be among the most powerful compounds in cinnamon. Additionally, the spice contains other healthy plant compounds known as polyphenols. These compounds fight bacteria by damaging their cell walls and preventing cell division, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth.

Multiple studies have found cinnamon bark oil to be effective against the Streptococcus mutans bacterium — a common cause of cavities, tooth decay, and enamel erosion — in children with cavities

Antifungal:

• Cinnamon and cinnamaldehyde also appear to be effective against fungi, including strains of the Candida genus of yeasts.

Candida strains are a common cause of yeast infections like oral thrush in the mouth and throat. It’s normal to have some Candida on your skin and in your body, but overgrowth and infections can occur in people with compromised immune systems.

One test-tube study found that cinnamon oil fought Candida albicans directly, while cinnamon extracts displayed anti-inflammatory properties. Plus, both the oil and extracts helped prevent the growth of biofilm and strengthened the mouth’s protective barrier.

• Clove has been used to treat toothaches throughout history. The oil can effectively numb the pain and reduce inflammation. It contains eugenol, which is a natural antiseptic.

Alternative uses: Apply topically directly to affected area.

• cold sores
• mouth sores
• ulcers in the mouth
• cuts and scrapes from orthodontic treatment
•  red/inflamed gums
• minor/major gum scrapes
