Here at Bel Canto, we prefer to take a more holistic approach to dentistry using natural and fluoride-free products.
Our dental office is fluoride-free because we know many patients have concerns about the toxicity of fluoride. Over the years dental professionals have promoted fluoride for helping to prevent tooth decay, but we know that tooth decay is influenced by other factors. These include a person’s lifestyle habits, their dental hygiene and nutrition, and diet. Instead of merely prescribing fluoridated products, we prefer to try to identify factors that may place you at higher risk of cavities. We can prescribe a suitable treatment plan to reduce these risk factors using high-quality and fluoride-free products and treatments.
Thanks to extensive clinical research, we now know of the close connection between oral health and general health, and your mouth is largely an extension of your digestive system. Our dental office utilises products that help to promote the growth of beneficial flora in the mouth, enabling you to maintain a healthy mouth more easily.
These natural products are safe for everyone, even for young children and pregnant women and will not harm dental restorations including dentures, braces, crowns, and fillings
The products we prefer to use includes Revtin, fluoride-free toothpaste, Triology mouth rinse and OraMD®.
Revitin Toothpaste
Revitin toothpaste is prebiotic and is designed to help support a healthy microbiome (the ecosystem in your mouth) and your immune system. It is formulated using environmentally friendly ingredients that include vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
Using a prebiotic toothpaste helps to maintain fresh breath, and it protects your tooth enamel from foods and drinks that could cause staining.
By maintaining a balance of healthy microbes in your mouth, you can reduce tooth sensitivity because these microbes help to create a barrier over sensitive areas. Unlike most toothpaste which contains chemicals and detergents, Revitin is free from sodium lauryl sulfate, artificial colours, alcohol, parabens and antibacterial ingredients. It is chemical-free and fluoride-free, and Revtin is a good solution for anyone looking for a more natural approach to tooth care.
Triology Mouth Rinse
Many commercial mouth rinses contain harmful and harsh chemicals that can dry your mouth, and which have a list of ingredients that you cannot pronounce. Most are fluoridated and have added artificial sweeteners and colours. Some even contain a form of fluoride that can stain teeth. Triology Moisturising Mouth Rinse is made from natural plant-based products and which include peppermint oil, and almond oil. These ingredients help to reduce harmful bacteria and peppermint oil helps to freshen breath naturally.

OraMD®
OraMD® are oral drops containing pure ingredients including spearmint and peppermint oils extracted from cold pressed leaves and seeds. These oils have been clinically proven to help eliminate bacteria which can cause gum disease. Studies have suggested that the antibacterial effects of these oils can help reduce inflammation in your gums. Using this mouth rinse can help prevent plaque buildup while freshening your breath. Its use helps to create a fresh, healthy and clean environment in your mouth.
These natural products are safe for everyone, even for young children and pregnant women and will not harm dental restorations including dentures, braces, crowns, and fillings. We believe the argument for using more natural products is compelling especially given the growing concerns about toxicity levels in our environment.
