Pharmacological Studies in Natural Oral Care (eBook)

Pharmacological Studies in Natural Oral Care

Edited by a natural product scientist, clinician, pharmacologist and a dental surgeon, the book helps oral care specialists to implement safe and effective natural medicine therapies to complement current practice guidelines.

With oral care specialists focusing their attention on the interdisciplinary connections between oral health, heart health, gastrointestinal health, etc., and with increasing antibiotic resistance and stronger antibiotics now reserved for serious active infection, the importance of herbal antibiotics is increasing exponentially. This book helps to implement safe and effective natural medicine therapies to complement the current practice guidelines.

Pharmacological Studies in Natural Oral Care is a comprehensive compilation and explores all the measures to utilize the natural oral care obtained from plants, animals, and mineral drugs for dental care. Herbal extracts are used in dentistry for reducing inflammation, as antimicrobial plaque agents, for preventing the release of histamine, and as antiseptics, antioxidants, antimicrobials, antifungals, antibacterials, antivirals and analgesics. They also aid in healing and are effective in controlling microbial plaque in gingivitis and periodontitis, thereby improving immunity.
