Chew Bark for Oral Hygiene
Sure, perfectly aligned and white teeth are great. But if you have halitosis, then people would be sure to stay away from you because of your bad breath. But don’t worry, dental professionals have determined and proven that an old Chinese medicine, called the magnolia bark extract, can make your breath smell better. Not only that, the magnolia bark extract eliminates bad odor by killing the source bacteria altogether.
Halitosis starts when bacteria breaks down proteins in the mouth. This causes smelly sulfur compounds to be emitted, which is quite malodorous. Even though brushing and after-dinner mints can mask the bad smell, it remains there, until the mint’s effects are gone. The effect of halitosis is reportedly difficult to counteract, until now.
There are now reported plans of producing tree-bark chewing gum in the US this year for anti-halitosis purposes.
