Healthy mouth, healthy body! Why our oral microbiome is so important...

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 gut microbiome.

Why is this so?

There are around 700 types of bacteria in the mouth - on the teeth, tongue, palate and even the lips. 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 aggressive synthetic ingredients in toothpaste - this has a direct impact on our health. This includes various oral health problems and even systemic diseases such as diabetes or cardiovascular problems. The healthier the oral microbiome, the healthier the gut microbiome. And if the gut is healthy, it has a positive effect on the entire body! The oral microbiome is therefore a natural habitat that needs to be nurtured.

Strengthen the oral microbiome with Natch!

The natural oral environment should therefore be strengthened with healthy substances when possible. And that's exactly where Natch comes in!

Our tabs contain only natural ingredients, and they support and strengthen your oral microbiome and your entire body.

Our fluoride alternative - calcium hydroxyapatite (HAp), for example, contributes to the remineralisation of teeth, strengthens them and can also help prevent tooth decay. Other ingredients like xylitol are also perfect for preventing tooth decay.

Instead of synthetic foaming agents or sweeteners and colourings, our tabs contain unique, vegan ingredients such as foaming soap bark, diatomaceous earth, oak bark, clove, organic essential oils, Himalayan salt and many other ingredients from Mother Nature.

Synthetic substances are a nuisance!

Conventional toothpastes, for example, often use the chemical SLS (sodium lauryl sulphate), which is also used in detergents. It can disrupt the balance of good bacteria in the mouth and lead to dry mouth, which favours the growth of bad bacteria.

Titanium dioxide is also often used in conventional toothpaste to make it appear whiter. However, studies have shown that it changes the composition of the oral flora and promotes the growth of bacteria.

The thickening agent carrageenan can cause inflammation in the oral cavity and lead to gingivitis; it can also affect the oral mucosa and favour the penetration of harmful substances.

Triclosan is a synthetic pesticide that is said to have antibacterial properties. It is often found in conventional toothpaste, as well as in soaps and deodorants. Risks: increased susceptibility to allergies, asthma and other side effects.
