Fluoride & Lauryl Sulfate-Free Toothpowder for Infants and Toddlers Now Available
Dr. Don's Antioxidant Oral Hygiene products are now available for children. Conventional toothpastes are not supposed to be given to children under the age of 5 because children tend to swallow the toothpaste. The chemicals in the toothpastes can make the children sick.
Alto, TX (PRWEB) August 23, 2006
The United States is suffering from an epidemic of chronic gum disease called periodontal disease. Over 65% of older adults and 15-20% of regular adults have some form of gum disease. Cases of children having periodontal disease are increasing exponentially as well. Almost all senior citizens are afflicted with periodontal disease. Fluoride toothpaste and alcohol mouthwash may be the key contributing factors to periodontal disease. Dr. Dons Antioxidant toothpowder and mouthwash, along with treatment by your dentist or dental hygienist, may be a good way to fight the disease.
This past February, Dr. Don’s Antioxidant Oral Hygiene products came to the market. Dr. Don formulated his products mainly for adults. However, adults have different needs and tastes than children do. Since the market for dental care products for children is seriously limited, Dr. Don decided to develop a toothpowder specially for children. The current technology on the market also only offers toothpastes that contain soaps as foaming agents. Children tend to swallow the toothpaste. This is why dentists recommend that you do not give a child under 5 years of age any toothpaste. However, we do have to take care of our children’s teeth.
As consumers become aware of the ingredients in many of the products available today, more and more are looking for safe alternatives. Dr. Don’s Antioxidant Oral Hygiene products offer cutting-edge technology that is just starting to be recognized by the big companies (using Xylitol, clays, and minerals). Clinical studies are demonstrating several benefits from use of Dr. Don’s Antioxidant Oral Hygiene products including; shiny teeth, healthier gums, decreased inflammation, and control of bad breath.
The difference with Dr. Don's products and the popular brands is that the ingredients in Dr. Don's contain no bubbling and lathering agents (surfactants) or chemicals that increase oxidation such as alcohol or chlorine compounds. The main ingredients in Dr. Don's products are antioxidants that reduce oxidation. The International Association of Dental Research found that toothpaste had little to no effect on producing healthy gums but chalk (calcium carbonate) along with plant extracts produced significant improvements in oral health as measured by gingival inflammation, gingival bleeding, plaque and debris accumulation". The older the person, the better the calcium compound with plant extract worked to produce healthy gums.
Dr. Don’s Children’s Antioxidant Toothpowder uses certified organic Vitamin B powder, certified organic cocoa powder, Xylitol, quartz, silica clay, sour cherry powder, and menthol crystals that makes a delicious chocolate-tasting toothpowder. Children enjoy brushing more and have healthier teeth and gums from it.
Dr. Don’s products are available through EM America and are soon to be available at several retail outlets in the United States.
EM America is the exclusive distributor of Dr. Don’s Antioxidant Oral Hygiene products and is the exclusive distributor of Effective Microorganisms™ products in the continental United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
