In the ever-evolving world of oral health care, it’s rare to find a product that is truly doing something new. Oral health has made great strides over the past few decades, with baby boomers being the first generation where the majority of people will keep their natural teeth over the course of their lives. However, there is still much room for improvement in oral health care, as a staggering number of adults continue to struggle with gum disease and untreated tooth decay. The statistics speak for themselves: nearly half of all adults aged 30 and older show signs of gum disease, and more than one in four adults have untreated cavities. Beyond brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, the options for enhancing oral health have been limited—until now.
Enter Smile Guard, a revolutionary leap in dental care, designed to elevate your daily routine and fortify your oral health defenses. With Smile Guard, we’re not just brushing away debris, we’re safeguarding your gateway to health and ensuring every smile reflects a healthier you. Don’t aim to just live longer when you can also live better, with all your teeth in place and your smile shining bright.
What is Smile Guard?
Smile Guard is a groundbreaking new oral health lozenge from the research team at Humarian. Smile Guard contains immunoglobulins from chicken yolks that may help to protect against plaque buildup, occasional sore gums, tooth discomfort, and mild bad breath. Smile Guard can provide these benefits by promoting a healthier balance of oral microbes in the mouth, which can lead to stronger teeth and healthier gums. Your mouth contains over 700 different types of oral bacteria, making it the second largest area of the body in terms of microbiota diversity after the gut. Many of these bacterial strains are beneficial in some way, but not all of them. Some of them can cause great harm in the mouth and throughout the rest of the body.
One of the reasons some bacteria are so detrimental to oral health is their ability to form strong bonds, making it difficult to remove them. Some bacteria bind directly to the teeth. Others create special proteins that form strong bonds to both teeth and gums. They create these bonds by breaking down sugars from the foods we eat. Have you ever eaten way too much sugary food and noticed a waxy film over your teeth at the end of the day? That’s probably why.
How can Smile Guard help to improve oral health?
Smile Guard’s benefits are provided by the immunoglobulins contained within. These immunoglobulins can promote a more favorable balance of bacteria by reducing the prevalence of harmful bacteria in the mouth.
The immunoglobulins in Smile Guard bind directly to certain kinds of bad bacteria and inhibit their ability to bind to teeth. These immunoglobulins are also able to neutralize the binding proteins in other kinds of harmful oral bacteria. This makes it much more difficult for these bacteria to stick to teeth and gums. Without the ability to form strong bonds, the bad bacteria are washed out of the mouth and down the digestive tract when we eat, drink, or brush our teeth, leading to a more favorable balance of oral bacteria, improved oral health, and reduced plaque levels.
The best part is that these immunoglobulins target harmful bacteria specifically, so unlike mouthwash and other antibacterial solutions, they will not negatively affect any of the beneficial bacteria in your mouth! You might be thinking that this all sounds a bit too simplistic to work well, but it really does. We have studies to prove it!
These images, sourced from an independent third-party study, demonstrate Smile Guard’s ability to inhibit the binding ability of some harmful bacteria. The vials in the image above contain harmful oral bacteria that have been given time to set and grow
The results in this second image speak for themselves. The introduction of Smile Guard has inhibited the ability of these bacteria to form strong bonds, leading to a significant reduction in the number of bacteria adhering to the walls of the vials.
Smile Guard has the same effect in your mouth. Without the ability to form strong bonds to teeth and gums, most of these bacteria are washed out of the mouth and down the digestive tract when we eat, drink, or brush our teeth, leading to an overall lower concentration of harmful oral bacteria, improved oral health, and reduced plaque levels.
Can I take Smile Guard as a substitute for brushing, flossing, or going to the dentist?
Absolutely not! The benefits of Smile Guard are extremely impressive, but it is very important to note that Smile Guard works best in tandem with good basic oral hygiene. Don’t think you can half your brushing frequency just because you start taking Smile Guard. We even have studies to show that dental cleanings combined with Smile Guard usage will improve gum health much more than cleaning alone.
So just to recap, we now know that Smile Guard can reduce plaque levels, improve teeth and gum health, halt the progression of receding gum lines, and even help to prevent the destruction of the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone. Smile Guard offers enhanced passive immunity, significantly reinforcing the body’s natural defenses against oral pathogens. It also increases in effectiveness when paired with proper dental care and regular dental cleanings. Incorporating Smile Guard into routine dental practices ensures that people benefit from advanced immunological protection, leading to improved overall oral health.
