Honey May Help Fight Cavities!

GentleDental BEE It’s widely known that sweets cause cavities, but there may be one that isn’t as bad as some people think. Honey has been used throughout history to not only sweeten food, but to treat disease and infection because one of its byproducts is hydrogen peroxide. 

One type of honey is causing a “buzz” in the fields of science and dentistry due to its potential to be used to prevent some dental issues. The Manuka honey, made in New Zealand amd Australia, may have the ability to prevent plaque and cavities because of its antibacterial properties.

 

Not all honey has the same levels of this protection, but it was found that even without the hydrogen peroxide byproduct, the samples were still found to have significant antibacterial activity.

 

Tests were performed by Dr. Peter Molan, Associate Professor at The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. He found that honey not only stops the growth of bacteria found in dental plaque, but it also reduced the amount of acid produced. The bacteria are prevented from producing the “glue” (dextrin) that allows them to stick to teeth.

 

Even though these findings are profound, regular brushing and flossing still trumps swishing with honey to keep your teeth clean and healthy!
