Can aloe vera maintain or improve my oral health?

Aloe vera has a very long history of healing power. It is used to heal burns and cuts, to treat digestive problems, and to boost your immune system and well-being. It also inhibits cancerous growth and heals the side effects of radiotherapy treatments. Dental and gum disease can also be cured by aloe vera. You can put some aloe vera powder on your toothbrush, then brush your teeth. The powder will soothe your gums and cure any kind of infection or bruising. Aloe vera juice can also help keep your gums healthy. All you have to do is gargle the liquid around your mouth before swallowing.

A study published in May/ June 2009 in the Journal of the Academy of General Dentistry discovered that aloe vera gel can be used to clean teeth and eliminate cavity-causing bacteria. For our oral health, aloe vera juice and aloe vera gel are both recommended. Aloe vera tooth gel does not contain the abrasive elements that can be found in commercial toothpastes, which means that they are an excellent alternative for people with sensitive gums or teeth.

Tooth gel with aloe vera offers protection for your teeth, gums, and your entire mouth and improves oral hygiene.

Experts advise buying only original aloe vera products.

A daily intake of aloe vera (as juice or toothpaste) can have multiple benefits for your oral health.

There are some aloe research studies that demonstrated that aloe vera has a lot of benefits in oral health and can be used in dentistry.  R. James Harrison wrote an article about a patient who had his wisdom teeth removed and had his socket irrigated with whole-leaf aloe vera concentrate, and after that, he applied aloe vera gel and aloe whole-leaf on the extraction site. The surgical area healed in a short time.

The use of aloe can also have benefits in the following areas: post-treatment after gum surgery, various oral lesions, including canker sores, dry mouth, gum abscesses, an inflamed tongue, gum tissue damaged by sharp toothbrushes, and abrasive toothpastes.

Aloe vera is effective in treating cavities as it inhibits the growth of the bacteria that cause dental caries.

This plant accelerates healing and reduces pain associated with canker sores, which are blisters on the lips or mouth.

In conclusion, aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice can both sustain your oral health. Aloe vera gel can successfully replace commercial toothpaste, and aloe vera juice will protect your mouth and your gums. This plant also heals skin lesions and acts inside your body.
