Aloe Vera Beneficial For Teeth And Gums: Study
Recently, aloe vera has gained some popularity as an active ingredient in tooth gel, where it is used to cleanse and soothe teeth and gums, and is as effective as toothpaste to fight cavities.
Aloe vera tooth gel is intended to perform the same function as toothpaste, which is to eliminate pathogenic oral microflora-disease-causing bacteria-in the mouth.
The ability of aloe vera tooth gel to successfully perform that function has been a point of contention for some dental professionals.
And the new research could alleviate the concern, as it revealed that the aloe vera tooth gel was just as effective, and in some cases more effective, than the commercially popular toothpastes at controlling cavity-causing organisms.
Aloe latex contains anthraquinones, which are chemical compounds that are used in healing and arresting pain because they are anti-inflammatory in nature.
But, because aloe vera tooth gel tends to be less harsh on teeth, as it does not contain the abrasive elements typically found in commercial toothpaste, it is a great alternative for people with sensitive teeth or gums.
