TheraSalt tablets are so unique they have a patent pending. Certified Natural Caribbean Sea Salt, harvested in the old Celtic fashion, is combined with other potent natural ingredients, mainly Xylitol, Grapefruit Extract and Essential Oils. These ingredients then are delivered in an effervescent tablet form which allows us to avoid using any type of preservative. Combined with distilled water the effervescent tablet dissolves and creates a potent solution that significantly aids in healing, kills bacteria and freshens breath. Used daily TheraSalt tablets can effectively help maintain optimal oral health. TheraSalt tablets are especially useful after oral surgery, dental hygiene appointments and other invasive oral episodes such as dental work or oral piercings. |

Dr. Hahn was asked daily which toothpaste he recommends in his practice. This was a difficult question since he did not feel there were many good choices. After having developed TheraSalt it was essential to bring out a toothpaste that incorporates this highly effective formulation. TheraSalt toothpaste is balanced, highly effective and great tasting. A teeth whitening formulation will be available shortly.

Currently Dr. Hahn is formulating his mouthwash without the use of preservatives, alcohol or other objectionable ingredients. This has proven a challenge, but TheraSalt mouthwash will be available shortly.

Why
use Dr. Hahn's Naturals over other well known products?
Dr. Hahn developed his line of natural products mainly because
everything his patients were buying was somehow falling short
of what they promised, while at the same time not educating the
patient about the negatives that may be present.
These are Dr. Hahn’s principals required for optimal oral
health:
1. Proper PH: The mouth is a very complex environment,
and minor changes in the acidity of the mouth can have major
negative consequences. The normal PH of the mouth is about 7.4,
roughly neutral. Bacteria and other organisms such as fungi live
in acidic environments. Teeth start to demineralize at about
a PH of 5.5, making them much more susceptible to bacteria, which
of course do much better in that lower PH environment. This is
a vicious cycle, and eventually the result is tooth decay and
periodontal (gum) disease. Many mouthwashes are preserved by
maintaining them at a PH of much less than 5.5…That just
does not make any sense. Take a look at the following well known
mouthwashes and their PH:
The Natural Dentist: PH 3.2
Peroxyl: PH 3.7
Listerine: PH 4.3
BreathRX: PH 4.7
Scope: PH 5.4
2. No Alcohol: Alcohol is another way to preserve a mouthwash,
or claim that it kills bacteria. Certainly alcohol kills bacteria, but alcohol
may irritate the sensitive oral tissues as well. Just by the vast amount of “alcohol
free” mouthwashes now available it is apparent that people don’t
like the burning sensation it creates. There is great controversy regarding
alcohol in the mouth, but I never recommended it to my patients and I have
frequently been able to identify patients who use high alcohol containing mouthwashes
through the appearance of their red gum tissue. Removing this irritant from
their daily routine made a significant difference.
3. Other Herbal ingredients: While
some herbal ingredients are wonderful for the mouth,
not all are always appropriate. This goes along the
lines that while a few are good, more are not always
better. Some “natural” products have almost
every herb available in it. This concerned me because
we know relatively little about herbs and should use
them with more caution. Some herbs are not to be used
while pregnant, yet I see many mouthwashes out there
that have these herbs in them yet have no warning regarding
a possible conflict. This is unfortunately because the
FDA (Food & Drug Administration) does not regulate
herbs. My products use only a few highly effective herbs
that can be used safely by anybody.
4. Other Ingredients: Most mouthwashes
and toothpastes contain a list of ingredients that only a chemist can understand.
That does not scream “natural” to me, and I feel we need to get
away from science coloring our products and making them smell and taste good
artificially. Most people now are aware of such names as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate,
but many more exist. Dr. Hahn's Naturals strives to maintain the highest level
of natural organic quality possible, without the use of any product that are
known to be possibly harmful.
5. Extraordinary Claims: Many products
have claims that seem too good to be true. As the general
rule goes, if it seems too good to be true, then it
probably is. No product exists that can single handedly
make a significant difference without proper oral hygiene.
"Curing" periodontal disease, for instance,
just is not possible; it is a disease that can be maintained
quite well, but it is always present once you have it.
If optimal oral health is your objective then a comprehensive
approach is required, which includes seeing your dentist
and dental hygienist regularly, brushing and flossing,
as well as having a proper diet.
Dr. Hahn's Naturals was founded by Dr. Hahn because of the above reasons, and
we stand behind our products 100%. Please do your research on the internet regarding
the above points, the vast amount of information available could never be properly
summarized here. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
us anytime. |
