The aloe vera plant has a long history of healing power. A team of dental researches from India have found that aloe vera tooth gel can be as effective as toothpaste for fighting tooth decay.The antimicrobial effects of aloe vera have been attributed to the plant's natural anthraqinones, chemical compounds that are used in healing and arresting pain because of their analgesic, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. Aloe vera tooth gel does not contain the abrasive elements typically found in commercial toothpaste so it tends to be less harsh on teeth, making it a good alternative for people with sensitive teeth or gums.
