The Risk Of Fluoride
The risk of fluoride to our health is something that everyone needs to understand.  Even though fluoride may reduce tooth decay when applied topically, it is toxic to the rest of the body, and is likely to create health problems, especially when ingested. Our approach is to avoid this potentially harmful substance completely, and instead use other active ingredients that are effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria that causes tooth decay.
The Benefits Of Xylitol
One of the greatest benefits of xylitol is how it interacts with bacteria. The cavity-causing bacteria that live in the mouth feed on fermentable sugars and produce lactic acid. This lactic acid is what eventually causes cavities because it eats through the enamel surfaces of our teeth. Xylitol is a non-fermentable sugar alcohol, which means the cariogenic bacteria cannot process it and therefore cannot produce lactic acid. Xylitol also has a unique anti-adhesive quality, which prohibits bacteria from adhering to cell tissue. This assists in maintaining the natural pH of the mouth, allowing teeth to be re-mineralized, which helps prevent cavities from forming in the first place.

Whilst we recommend the use of the Pure Beginnings Soothing Teething Gel, here are some other tips you can also try to assist with teething discomfort:
- Allow your baby to gnaw or suck on a piece of chilled food like a whole carrot or a long piece of cucumber. The cold eases the pain, and these foods are easy for your baby to hold.
- Feeding your baby cold foods like yoghurt, apple puree and mashed up veggies can also soothe the ache.
- Place a sterilised teething toy in the freezer for your baby to chew on later to help relieve sore gums.
Additional information:
Liquorice and Marshmallow are not flavour ingredients
The key active ingredients in our Pure Beginnings Soothing Teething Gel include liquorice and marshmallow root extracts. Both ingredients have historically demonstrated strong natural anti-inflammatory properties, thereby assisting in reducing swelling, inflammation and the corresponding pain associated with inflamed gums. Liquorice also acts as a mucoprotective agent – in other words it creates a soothing film over the gum, helping to relieve pain and inflammation in the affected area.
