Gentle Plaque Removers: Tooth Polish combines the gentle cleansing properties of calcium and Hydrated Silica with the penetrating power of pure Melaleuca Oil to gently remove plaque without damaging tooth enamel. Natural Bacteria Fighters: Rather than resort to harsh ingredients like triclosan that kill good as well as bad bacteria, Tooth Polish relies on three natural bacteria fighters (T40-C3 Melaleuca Oil, propolis, and myrrh) that keep bacteria levels in check. Natural Cavity Protection: Instead of sugar or saccharine, Tooth Polish is flavored with xylitol, a natural sweetener that has demonstrated the ability to help prevent dental caries (cavities) and arrest the development of existing caries.
