We wanted to share the many benefits of propolis and why you should consider including this ingredient in your oral healthcare routine in Doctor Plotka’s 100% Natural Fluoride-Free Whitening Toothpaste.

Propolis: what is it?

Propolis is a greenish-brown waxy compound that is made by honey bees, also known as bee glue. Propolis is a mixture of natural substances such as tree sap, or flowers, and beeswax, which when mixed together creates Propolis. The resin-like substance acts as a barrier against predators and weather as well. Bees use propolis to build hives.

Intriguingly, propolis composition varies according to the location of the bee and the landscape in which it lives. For example, propolis from the Pacific Northwest would be different from propolis from the Sahara Desert because the plants, trees, and flowers in the region differ. At least 180 different compounds are known to man.

Ancient Healing

Propolis has been used as a mouth disinfectant by ancient Greeks for centuries. Romans used the resin-like substance as an antiseptic. Propolis was also used in WWI and WWII to treat wounds. During the wars, the Soviet Union included it in first aid kits to help with infection and healing. Since then, propolis has been used for sore throats, burns, wounds, and more.

Propolis’ modern uses

Due to studies showing that propolis may have significant health benefits, more products with propolis are popping up on shelves around the world.

Some of the most common uses are listed below:

Reduces inflammation – propolis has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it effective in reducing inflammation.

It has been shown that propolis helps keep wounds clean and promotes healing by acting as a topical solution.

Propolis is traditionally used to soothe sore throats, reducing inflammation and promoting healing.

Oral Health Benefits Of Propolis

Prevents cavities

Antibacterial and antiseptic properties of propolis kill bacteria, preventing plaque formation in its tracks! Propolis also prevents plaque formation by killing the bacteria needed to do so.

Helps with sensitive teeth

When enamel thins and allows cold temperatures or other irritants to pass through the dentin, dentin sensitivity occurs. As a wax-like substance that seals your enamel and dentin to reduce sensitivities, propolis can help protect sensitive teeth by working on the same protective properties found in beehives.

Enhances healing

Using propolis rinses as a rinse can help reduce pain and swelling after oral surgeries.

Promotes healthy gums

With propolis’ antibacterial properties, say goodbye to red, inflamed gums. Bacteria that get stuck in your gums can cause inflammation, which can lead to gum disease. By killing bacteria and removing plaque, propolis can help prevent gum problems before they occur.
