A few months ago I came across a great article about the impact of Forever Living’s Aloe Vera-based tooth gel on aloeguide.com. It was great timing as I was also using this product and have been noticing the difference between Forever Bright Tooth gel and the typical kinds of toothpaste. According to (Wymann, 2021), Forever Bright is the only toothpaste that combines stabilized Aloe Vera and bee propolis. Now, let’s take a look at the great benefits of each of these items:
What is Bee Propolis?
Propolis is a multifunctional material used by bees in the construction and maintenance of their hives. The use of propolis by humans has a long history, predated only by the discovery of honey. This medicinal ingredient has been used by people for thousands of years to protect beehives against intruders in nature. The use of products containing propolis have resulted in extensive dermal contact and it is now increasingly being used a dietary supplement (Burdock, 1998). Propolis is a resin-like material made by bees from the buds of poplar and cone-bearing trees.
How Bee Propolis Improves Oral Health
Propolis seems to help fight against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It might also have anti-inflammatory effects and help skin heal. A study by Abbasi et al. ( 2018) on applications of propolis in dentistry showed the efficacy of propolis for surgical wound healing.
Aloe Vera in Dentistry
Aloe barbadensis is a spiky succulent plant that is abundant in nature and has been used for medicinal purposes in several cultures over thousands of years, often for treating wounds, burns, and other skin ailments. It’s a native plant in the driest regions of Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Africa (Boudreau et al., 2006). It contains various minerals and vitamins. It has got various properties such as immunomodulatory, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory in nature. Aloe Vera can play a significant role in dentistry in the treatment of lichen planus, oral submucous fibrosis, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, alveolar osteitis, periodontitis, etc (Mangaiyarkarasi et al., 2015).
