Prevent tooth decay with licorice root toothpaste

I've never enjoyed dental work and I prefer to be safe than sorry so I'm always on the look for the best preventive solution for my oral care. Less dentist visits = more joy!
So let me share with you my latest find and you won't have to fear your next appointment with your dentist. If you are proactive, he (or she) won't find any tooth decay to work on in your mouth. Wouldn't it be a dream to just go to your dentist for tooth cleaning without dreading that the hygienist may give you some bad news (and ask to make a few extra appointments to fix these tooth decays of yours!).

If you think fluoride in your tap water and toothpaste is good enough to protect your teeth, you may want to reconsider once you know that fluoride represents unreasonable health risks. There is even evidence that it may be linked to a rare type of bone cancer in boys.

Tooth decay is caused by bacteria and a lot of natural herbal extracts have potent anti-bacteria properties. So you can protect your teeth from decay thanks to natural herbal extracts. Among these herbs, Licorice root is a gem for your mouth health. It protects the teeth not only from decay, but also from plaque. A new scientific study froma research group at the University of California, Los Angeles showed that licorice root extract contains at least 2 compounds which efficiently kill a bacteria responsible for tooth decay: Streptococcus mutans.

The taste of Licorice is similar to the sweetish taste of aniseed and fennel. Licorice root has been known and used by Greeks, Egyptians and Chineses for a long time as a rich source of beneficial compounds. Traditional Chinese Medicine grants Licorice with of harmonizing properties. It is used to fight throat ache and cough, inflammation, viruses, ulcers and even cancer. In traditional medicine, people were using licorice roots as a toothbrush to clean their teeth and protect them from decay at the same time. Today,science is only rediscovering what our ancestors have known for a verylong time. So by choosing a certified organic toothpaste with licorice, clay and ginseng, you actively protect your teeth and gums from decay, bleeding, infections and inflammation. This toothpaste doesn't contain any detergent, fluoride or sugar which the cavity bacteria love and thrive on!) and only includes the best natural extracts to clean, detoxify and protect your teeth and gums. This is the best and easiest way to avoid painful extra visits to your dentist. A clean mouth is a healthy mouth.

TIP: Don't forget to brush your tongue while brushing your teeth. Tongue cleaning reduces bad breath and helps prevent plaque.
