When it comes to oral health and freshness, maintaining your teeth and gums through regular brushing, flossing and rinsing is important (as is visiting your Ottawa dental professional regularly for checkups and cleanings!), but there are other natural elements which have been proven to be beneficial as well, such as peppermint.
Peppermint is more than just a delicious smelling and tasting herb, it has many health benefits including some for the teeth:
‘Good for Teeth
Peppermint oil has been found to inhibit the formation of plaque, which is linked to cavities. Also, it is very useful for freshening the breath and whitening teeth.’ (Diana Herrington, care2.com)
