Advertorial – Up to 100 billion bacteria live in an average mouth. These bacteria are not all bad. In fact:good bacteria counteract the harmful bacteria and ensure that your mouth remains protected.
It is important to keep your mouth and oral flora healthy. When the good and bad bacteria are in balance, the good bacteria fight the bad. With these tips you keep your oral flora in balance.
1. Less with sugar
Sugar is not good for your teeth and mouth. Sugar causes bad bacteria to multiply, they promote cavities and reduce the good bacteria.
2. Choose vegetable Vegetables, fruits, nuts, beans and tofu are not only healthy choices for your body. Research has shown that plant nutrients also ensure that the bacteria in your mouth remain in balance.
3. Drink less acidic (soft) drink Soft drinks disturb the balance of the micro-organisms and that ensures that the good bacteria are counteracted. Don't be fooled:this also applies if a soft drink is sugar-free according to the label.
4. Drink enough water
Water ensures good saliva production and that also helps in the natural protection of the mouth.
5. Brush with Zendium Zendium toothpastes counteract bad bacteria and promote good bacteria through natural enzymes and proteins, according to a clinical study by Zendium. No SLS (foaming agent) has been added to the toothpastes. Originally Zendium toothpastes have a fairly mild taste, which can be a disadvantage if you like the fresh taste after brushing your teeth. Zendium has changed that with the new Extra Fresh flavour. The toothpaste offers all the benefits of the current Zendium range and has an extra fresh taste.
