What does microbiome-friendly mean? Microbiome-friendly dental care from Dentafari
Did you know that our oral health can have a direct impact on our overall wellbeing?
"After the birth of our son, I became particularly interested in health issues due to my parental leave and my passion for skincare products, and I read up on the importance of the microbiome. I learned about the importance of gut health, the microbiome, natural ingredients and the power of healthy habits. The more I found out, the more I began to question the products we use every day that contradict and compromise our notions of health," says Alena, founder of Dentafari. This led to the development of Dentafari, a results-oriented, innovative and sustainable oral care range.
Understanding the oral microbiome
The oral microbiome is a unique community of bacteria in the mouth that perform vital functions to keep our mouths healthy. These functions include supporting tooth remineralization, oxygenating the gums and removing free radicals, waste and harmful elements from the tooth surface.
Did you know that around 6 billion bacteria live in the mouth? These species make up our oral microbiome, which leads directly to our gut. You've probably heard about the negative effects of an unbalanced gut on mood, weight and chronic diseases like dementia, but what does this have to do with the mouth?
The mouth is the mirror image of what's going on in our body. It is the gateway to our most important microbiome, the gastrointestinal tract.
Every time we swallow, thousands of bacteria travel through our bodies. This brings together both good and bad bacteria (balance is key!). Unlike other products on the market, Dentafari helps our good bacteria thrive.
This standard of oral health sets the tone for our gut, as it enters the digestive tract directly through the mouth to form the gut microbiome. Studies have shown a clear link between oral health and chronic disease. Health can only be maintained if we stay one step ahead of suffering. With good oral hygiene!
"Oral health has many facets. The way we speak, talk, eat and swallow depends on our oral health. Maintaining a healthy oral cavity ensures the health of many other aspects of our body! - Lecturer, dental hygienist, certified aroma expert Janine Klee
How we do it
Dentafari formulas nourish our oral microbiome instead of destroying it. Many oral care products were developed many years ago by soap manufacturers and are based on SLS or alcohol - a big NO for the composition of the microbiome. These harmful products not only destroy the bad bacteria but also the good bacteria.
Dentafari harnesses the power of nature with an innovative list of ingredients. Here are Dentafari hero products for a happy mouth:
Microbiome-friendly natural tooth powder for children
Our natural tooth powder, made in our small factory, is rich in probiotics, non-toxic and the first tooth powder in Germany to contain an oral probiotic to protect teeth, freshen breath and reduce plaque.
Tooth Powder Remineralizing + Teeth Whitening for Adults
We've said goodbye to the chemicals in conventional oral care products and opted for natural wonders like mineral-rich calcium carbonate, coconut activated charcoal and fruit extracts to create a healthy oral microbiome where good bacteria thrive.
Our tooth powder contains the fruit extracts bromelain and papain, natural substances from pineapple and papaya that inhibit bacterial activity without damaging the oral microbiome, and dissolve plaque proteins from the tooth surface to prevent the formation of new discoloration. Another important ingredient is activated charcoal, which is obtained from coconut shells. Activated charcoal also works against odor-causing bacteria and is therefore anti-inflammatory.
And always remember: Healthy starts in the mouth!
