Dental Antioxidants

A healthy mouth means more than just a bright smile and fresh breath.  Science has shown a link between the health of oral tissues and overall systemic health.  Oxidative stress due to free radicals in saliva can contribute to decline in oral health.

Antioxidants are molecules that counteract the process of oxidation. The large, complex antioxidant molecules can bond with the unpaired electrons of free radicals, effectively neutralizing the oxidation process. 

An emerging and exciting means of countering the effects of free radicals is topical antioxidants, which are applied and not ingested. Research has already proven the effectiveness of topical antioxidants on skin cells. New research is demonstrating that combinations of antioxidants can be applied topically to oral cells to neutralize free radicals in oral tissues.
