Unlike other mouth rinses, Healthy Teeth Natural Fluoride Rinse does not include any alcohol, artificial sweeteners, dyes or harsh chemicals.

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, New Jersey--Smiles under construction have one less roadblock with the introduction of the first natural fluoride rinse for people with braces.

Designed to help with "hard-to-reach" places, strengthen tooth enamel against cavities and soothe gums with ingredients such as aloe vera, The Natural Dentist's Healthy Teeth Natural Fluoride Rinse is ideal for people undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Unlike other mouth rinses, Healthy Teeth Natural Fluoride Rinse does not
include any alcohol, artificial sweeteners, dyes or harsh chemicals. Made with natural ingredients, the product contains fluoride and xylitol, a substance derived from birch tree pulp that has been clinically proven to fight cavities and protect from plaque-causing bacteria.

"Good oral care is important for everyone, but particularly those who are undergoing orthodontic care," said Frank Celenza, DDS. "This product is a safe way to keep teeth strong and healthy while soothing mouth irritations that often result from braces. And, because this mouth rinse is natural, parents can feel good about buying the product for their children."

The key ingredient in the rinse is fluoride, a mineral that strengthens teeth to help prevent decay and permanent tooth loss by absorbing into eakened tooth surfaces to rebuild the enamel. Fluoride can also help reduce white spots on teeth that can be caused by braces.

"No one has ever developed a product specifically for teens with braces before," said Nancy Rosenzweig, President and CEO of The Natural Dentist, the oral care company that developed the Healthy Teeth Natural Fluoride Rinse. "We believe that this rinse will generate excitement across the board--from parents looking for the best way to protect their child's teeth to teens who will love using the product because of its appealing taste and hip packaging."

Safe for everyday use, the Healthy Teeth Natural Fluoride Rinse is available in a Berry Blast flavor and retails for a cost of $10.99. The product may be purchased at Whole Foods, Wild Oats and various regional stores across the country.
