Dental Health Day 2024: Healthy starts in the mouth - right from the start!

Summary: The article emphasizes the importance of oral hygiene for general health, especially in children and pregnant women. On “Dental Health Day” 2024, it points out that dental care should start early to prevent tooth decay and inflammation. Natch offers fluoride-free toothpaste tabs for children that use natural ingredients to strengthen teeth. In addition, new research shows that matcha green tea is effective against periodontitis. A healthy oral microbiome is crucial for overall body health.

Why our oral hygiene is so important...

We haven't just known it since Natch was founded:
Healthy starts in the mouth!

‘Dental Health Day’ will be celebrated again on 25 September 2024 - this year under the motto: ’Healthy starts in the mouth - right from the start!’ The aim of the day in 2024 is to provide in-depth information about oral hygiene and also to explain what women should know about oral health during pregnancy.
Dental health for children: prevention starts early
Because it all starts with the little ones!

Children's teeth are more sensitive and susceptible to tooth decay because the enamel is not yet fully mature. Parents should therefore ensure that their children develop a good dental care routine right from the start. Brushing should be carried out from the very first milk tooth to prevent tooth decay, gum inflammation or the build-up of bacteria. Regular visits to the dentist are also part of dental health - not only to recognise problems at an early stage, but also to take away children's fear of the dentist.

Our Tooth Monster Tabs are perfect for children's teeth!
We have just launched our new Tooth Monster bubblegum tabs for kids! With the new toothpaste tabs, brushing teeth becomes a little adventure for children, a daily ritual that is really fun! The unique formula, developed after a year of intensive research and taste tests with children, combines healthy oral care with an unmistakable taste experience. With no artificial sugar but full of flavour, Natch Tooth Monster Tabs combine a unique blend of natural oils, fruit and vegetable extracts. The result? A delicious bubblegum flavour!

Healthy mouth, healthy body!
Oral health plays an important role for the entire body.
The so-called oral microbiome serves as the mouth's immune system, it can both strengthen and weaken the organism, and it has a direct impact on the body and intestinal microbiome. Around 700 species of bacteria can be found in the mouth - on the teeth, tongue, palate and even on the lip. The balance of these microorganisms is crucial for the prevention of diseases such as tooth decay, periodontitis and other oral infections. If there are disturbances in the oral microbiome - for example due to synthetic ingredients in toothpaste - this can have a direct impact on our health. This includes various oral health problems and even systemic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular problems

Exciting news from Japan!
Incidentally, the latest research results from Japan have just been presented: A study suggests that matcha green tea powder is very effective against periodontitis. This is because matcha has a great antibacterial effect and is also rich in antioxidants that fight this bacterium.
And where can you find matcha here? In the delicious ‘Wake-up Call’ tabs!

Why Tooth Monster Tabs are the best choice for children:

Children's teeth are particularly sensitive and need special protection. Natch Tabs give them the perfect balance of effective cleaning and gentle care. Our toothpaste tabs are fluoride-free and instead enriched with calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp), a natural enamel ingredient that helps to strengthen and mineralise teeth. HAp is biocompatible and safe, even if swallowed - ideal for little explorers! Zeolite also neutralises acidity in the mouth and supports detoxification, while zinc has an antibacterial effect and reduces the formation of plaque. In this way, our tabs help to provide comprehensive protection against tooth decay and gingivitis. We have also developed the Moso bamboo toothbrush especially for kids: Ergonomic for small hands, available in pink and blue.

To make you think...
Dental Health Day 2024 is an important reminder of how important good oral hygiene is for the health of our children and, of course, for us adults too. With Natch, you are using natural dental care that not only cares for, strengthens and supports your oral microbiome, but your whole body.
Perhaps you'll use today to think about your dental care routines and perhaps change or improve them. Take big steps towards dental health...
Because: Healthy starts in the mouth - for everyone!
We look forward to your thoughts and a lively exchange in the Natch community!
