  • Green and black tea also contain ECG, giving you an easy daily source of natural cavity protection
  • Reducing sugary and acidic drinks cuts off the main fuel that bacteria use to erode enamel and cause decay
  • Homemade eggshell toothpaste and oil pulling with coconut oil provide simple, natural ways to strengthen teeth and reduce harmful bacteria
