How do I know if I have gum disease?
Gum disease (gingivitis) will show itself as red, swollen gums that bleed when brushed or flossed. Many people are alarmed when they notice this bleeding and will then brush more gently, if at all. It is important that you continue to clean regularly and firmly in order to fight the condition.
Daily brushing and cleaning between your teeth is important because it removes plaque. If the plaque isn’t removed, it continues to build up, feeding on the food debris left behind and causing tooth decay and gum disease.
Do you suffer with sensitive teeth or sensitive gums?
Our organic children’s and adult toothpastes are formulated without irritating chemicals, making them suitable for sensitive teeth and gums. We use organic essential oils, Vitamin C and Myrrh to give extra protection against gum disease.
Aloe Vera is added for its soothing effect on tender, sensitive gums. It is also known to reduce swelling and acts as a powerful antiseptic in gum pockets where normal cleaning is difficult.
Do you suffer with mouth ulcers?
Many people who are prone to mouth ulcers find that avoiding toothpastes containing Sodium lauryl sulphate eases the condition.
Where can I find natural toothpastes to keep my teeth and gums healthy?
To have a clean and healthy mouth you need to use the correct dental care products. Green People have a selection of refreshing, effective natural toothpastes:
Minty Cool, a refreshing taste of mint and especially helpful for sufferers of dry mouth syndrome. Fennel for swollen gums, Citrus is ideal when homeopathy is routinely used and finally Peppermint, a traditional mint flavour suitable for all the family.
Also available are two popular organic toothpastes for children (although adults like them too!):
Mandarin for children who are not so keen on the taste of mint and Spearmint & Aloe Vera with the fresh taste of spearmint.
Sore gums, bad breath or a sore throat? Try our organic mouthwashes
Bad breath is likely to be experienced by most adults and many children. Accumulation of plaque on the teeth is the major cause of bad breath but it can also be caused by gum disease, infected tonsils, stomach problems, dry mouth, smoking and a diet high in fats, spicy foods and coffee. Did you know that most conventional mouthwashes contain harsh ingredients such as Chlorhexidine, Triclosan and alcohol; some concentrated brands are up to 75% alcohol!
Our unique and refreshing natural mouthwash formulations are free from artificial sweeteners and alcohol and are rich in natural anti-bacterial agents. Available in either Fennel Mouthwash with Clove, Cinnamon, Myrrh and Citrus Seed extract or Mint Mouthwash with Thyme, Lemon and Citrus seed extract.
They are both excellent for cleansing the mouth, taking care of the gums and helping combat bad breath leaving it smelling sweet and fresh. Also suitable for children.
As with all Green People ranges, our natural toothpastes and mouthwashes are free from Fluoride, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES), artificial sweeteners, Parabens, Colourants, Ethyl Alcohol, Petrochemicals, GMOs and all other unnecessary synthetic additives common in many of today’s health and beauty products.
