"I am grateful to have found this product."
I have been in the dental field for about 49 years and a practicing dental hygienist for 45 years. A very common problem we see as dental professionals is dental caries or cavities. One area that I focused on when caring for my patients was preventing dental disease. Not all products provide protection and there can be so many to choose from. I was on a quest to find a product that would work against streptococcus mutans- a very common bacteria associated with tooth decay and causes the oral cavity to become more acidic. After some research I discoveredthe potential of cannabidiol (CBD) as an antimicrobial agent for strep mutans. I happened to find BirchTree Hemp and was able to talk with a live person regarding questions I had. What I found out is that this paste also includes xylitol and manuka honey which are known antimicrobials.
I received the toothpaste and myself and a family member have been using the product for about 3 weeks. The paste has a great flavor and texture and the teeth feel very clean after use. The most riveting experience has been a more alkaline pH of the saliva after using this toothpaste. S. mutans and an acidic oral cavity have been a chronic problem for this family member. The next step after a few more months will be to conduct another saliva test to determine if the s. mutan levels have diminished. I continue to be encouraged that there will be positive results. I am grateful to have found this product.
