| Oral bacteria can build up between your teeth and your gums. When bacterial colonies multiply, any tear or opening in your gums can help lead bacteria right into your bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, germs can travel throughout your body. Inflammation can set in and take a toll on your good health. Source: National Institute for Dental Research. |
| Many toothpastes on the market today have potentially harmful chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate, PEG, artificial sweeteners, and fluoride. These chemicals may have long-term, negative effects as they are absorbed into the blood. A typical box of toothpaste will have this warning: “Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age. If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional help or contact a poison control center immediately.” Don’t look for the warning on the tube but check the box it came in. Popular toothpaste ingredients can be very scary. We are warned not to swallow more than what is used for brushing. If a child were to eats a tube of that great-tasting fluoride toothpaste, sadly he would probably be dead before finishing it. One tube can kill an adult; half a tube can kill a child! But the lining of the mouth has a 90% absorption efficiency, so the potentially harmful ingredients go into our bloodstream anyway. For this reason Encoura offers Xyli-Gel as an alternative. Encoura’s exclusive formula provides all-natural, even edible, ingredients like: Purified Water - Obtained by distillation, ion-exchange treatment or reverse osmosis. It contains no added substance.
