What Herbal Extracts Can Prevent And Treat Cavities?

What are Cavities?

Cavities are areas of permanent damage to the hard surface of the teeth that develop into tiny openings or holes. Cavities, also known as tooth decay or caries, are resulted from a variety of factors, including bacteria in the mouth, frequent snacking, drinking sugary drinks and not cleaning your teeth properly. They are especially common in children, adolescents and older adults. However, anyone with teeth can get cavities, including babies. The World Health Organization has listed cavities together with tumor and cardiovascular disease as the three major diseases for human prevention and treatment.

How do Cavities Affect People's Lives?

If cavities are not treated in time, they can become larger and affect the deeper layers of the teeth. They can cause extremely serious toothache, infection and tooth loss. When cavities and decay become more and more serious, you may have:

Pain that affects everyday life

Weight loss or nutritional problems due to pain or difficulty in eating or chewing

Tooth loss, which may have an effect on your appearance, even on your confidence

In rare cases, a dental abscess, a pocket of pus that caused by bacterial infection, which can result in more serious and even life-threatening infections

What are Recommended Herbal Extracts in Preventing and Treating Cavities?

Herbal extracts have been used in dentistry to reduce inflammation, as an anti-plaque agent, to prevent the release of histamine, and as an antiseptic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral, and analgesic. They also aid in healing and improve immunity by effectively controlling microbial plaque in gingivitis and periodontitis. Let's take a look at the following recommended herbal extracts for preventing and treating cavities:

EGCG 95 percent

The green tea contains polyphenols epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin gallate. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the main constituent of green tea. Our high-quality EGCG 95 percent is separated from green tea. The secondary metabolites are protective against dentin loss and inhibit erosion of sensitive hard-tooth substrates. Plaque-induced gingivitis is the most common form of periodontal disease which is caused by the buildup of microbial plaque that contains more than 300 bacterial species.

St. John's Wort Extract Powder

St. John's Wort Extract Powder is a 100 percent pure natural extract from Hypericum perforatum. It is used in phytotherapy because of its good antiseptic and antidepressant properties. In addition, antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activities have been proposed. Additionally, it is a very potent antidepressant with potential antioxidant activity. This extract also has a remarkable inhibitory effect on plasma extravasation and reduces the degree of bone resorption during periodontitis.

Aloe Vera Gel

The gel extracted from the parenchyma of aloe vera leaves contains a variety of natural ingredients that have outstanding anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-fungal and angiogenic activities. It has been utilized for centuries for therapeutic purposes. In addition to its anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and antiviral effects, aloe vera gel is also effective in treating various types of ulcers and its antimicrobial effects on a broad spectrum of bacteria. The effect of their topical application on the healing of oral ulcers was shown through use in irradiated mice.
