The human body has many remarkable abilities, including fending off illnesses through its natural defense systems. The mouth is no exception! Many oral health problems arise from infection and inflammation, and our most effective natural defense against these illnesses resides in the saliva. Saliva has natural antibacterial agents and antioxidants that help fend off disease-causing bacteria and promote healthy tissues. At Kenner Dental Group we also provide patients PerioSciences® oral care products designed to enhance our body’s natural antibacterial defenses while also providing several other benefits.
Walking down your local grocery store aisle, you are probably inundated with products that promise to kill disease-causing bacteria.
