My Oradent is a proven and tested product which provides protection to the commonly occurring dental diseases, i.e., dental decay and gum diseases. The essential oils provide protection against gum diseases and calcium carbonate helps to neutralize the pH of the oral cavity which reduces the chances of decay to occur. The powder form also plays an important role in reducing gum diseases. It stays in contact to the gums for a longer time; absorbs through it and hence strengthen the fibers which anchors the teeth, plus, the neutralization effect makes the oral bacteria impotent, and subsequently, they either lose their activity or unable to produce the destructive enzymes. On the other hand, the combination of essential oils which are very beneficial for gums lose its efficacy while in paste form.
