If your teeth feel sensitive or your gums bleed when you brush, finding the right toothpaste goes beyond just how effective it is at fighting cavities.

People with sensitive teeth or those who suffer from chronic mouth ulcers need special toothpastes for these special needs. Aloe Vera toothgel is now available to help solve these problems .

The Academy of General Dentistry in its May/June 2009 issue of the General Dentistry Journal, has stated that Aloe Vera toothgel has combined properties that tackle the problem of sensitive teeth and gums as it provides cavity-fighting protection.

People in the dental profession have long debated the ability of Aloe Vera toothgel to eradicate disease-causing bacteria and other harmful microorganisms in the mouth. The Academy has finally furnished the answers and attests that Aloe Vera toothgel is proven to be effective in fighting germs found in the mouth. A recent study compared the pathogen-fighting properties of 2 commercially available toothpaste preparations alongside Aloe Vera toothgel and found the latter to be equally or even more effective in eradicating cavity-causing microflora in the mouth and gums.

The germ-fighting qualities of Aloe Vera toothgel can be attributed to its natural anthraquinone content – chemical compounds which also provide analgesic, anti-fungal, and anti-viral activity when used in low doses. It’s also really helpful to people with sensitivity issues since Aloe Vera toothgel contains no harsh abrasive components found in regular toothpastes.

Overall physical health is directly affected by oral or dental conditions. Gingivitis or gum disease has been found to aggravate certain ailments such as diabetes, stroke, heart and lung diseases. Harmful bacteria and microorganisms in the mouth can cause periodontal disease and premature tooth loss. In addition to that, contagious bacteria is carried in the bloodsteam and can spread infection to the other organs of the body.

An interesting study on this was conducted by Emory University together with the Center for Disease Control. Researchers established that people with gingivitis and other forms of periodontal diseases had an almost 50% chance of dying earlier that those without the disease.

Aloe Vera toothgel is effective in the treatment and prevention of gingivitis and periodontitis. It has powerful antiseptic characteristics that can reach all areas of the mouth to kill disease-causing bacteria. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties on the other hand, reduce soft tissue swelling and minimize bleeding of the gums.

Not all Aloe Vera toothgel formulas contain these necessary medicinal properties however. In fact only a few varieties out of over 300 aloe species have these oral health attributes.

The International Aloe Science Council was formed to provide and enforce quality control procedures in the production of Aloe Vera health care products. It provides certifications and seals of quality to manufacturers who match or exceed industry standards and provides consumers with the assurance that they are purchasing industry compliant products.

Forever Bright Aloe Vera Toothgel is the first toothgel to have been awarded the Council quality seal. It contains no fluoride, therefore it is gentle and non-abrasive to the gums and teeth. It also contains Bee Propolis, a natural healing antibiotic. Forever Bright strengthens, nourishes and protects both teeth and gums from bacteria build-up as it fights plaque and whitens teeth without the use of irritating bleaching agents.
