Periodontal disease and Why Antioxidants in Toothpaste Matter
Your mouth is constantly under attack by reactive oxygen species (ROS), pathogens, acidic foods, and environmental toxins. These stressors inflame the gums, damage tissues, and disrupt the oral microbiome. Antioxidants neutralize ROS and help cells repair and regenerate. When applied topically to the mouth, they can:
-
Reduce gum inflammation
-
Support tissue healing and collagen synthesis
-
Inhibit pathogenic biofilms
-
Protect against oxidative damage from bacteria, food, and even your own immune response
Let's look at how the best natural toothpaste for periodontal disease leverages a full antioxidant arsenal.
