Periobiotic Toothpaste (Spearmint flavor)
Periobiotic Toothpaste by Designs for Health
Fluoride-free, great tasting toothpaste for comprehensive oral health
PerioBiotic Toothpaste is a mild, non-irritating and fluoride-free toothpaste. Like probotics in the human intestinal tract, beneficial flora in the mouth is critical to maintaining an oral environment conducive to healthy teeth and gums.
PerioBiotic contains Dental-Lac, a patent pending[1] functional Lactobacillus dental hygiene probiotic. Research on Dental-Lac, a specific Lactobacillus paracasei strain, demonstrates its ability to kill off harmful strains of oral bacteria including streptococcus mutans[2], a significant contributor to dental caries, tooth decay and periodontal disease.
In addition, PerioBiotic contains two active ingredients that have been shown in research to promote dental and oral health via their cavity-fighting abilities: xylitol[3] and calcium glycerophosphate[4, 5].
Also of note are the ingredients not found in PerioBiotic, which are found in most other toothpastes: fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), and saccharin. In a related point, this product is not harmful if swallowed as it does not contain fluoride.
Product Contains: Water, calcium glycerophosphate, xylitol, glycerin, calcium carbonate, carageenan, spearmint oil (Mentha viridis), maltodextrin, Lactobacillus paracasei (Dental-Lac), citric acid, potassium sorbate, Yucca filamentosa powder, stevia leaf extract (Eupatorium rebaudianum bertoni).
Recommended Use: Apply PerioBiotic toothpaste on to a soft bristle toothbrush. Brush thoroughly after meals for at least 1 minute. Spit out the excess solution, and for maximum benefits do not rinse to allow longer contact of the natural ingredients to the teeth and gums. Brush 2 to 3 times per day or as directed by your health care professional.
