Imagine brushing your teeth with a toothpaste that not only
cleans the mouth but blocks and stops an allergic reaction. Health Briefs TV
shares news on a new prescription toothpaste that is doing all that.
Scientists in New
York have formulated a toothpaste called Allerdent
which contains the extracts of what some test patients are allergic to. The
toothpaste is being tested on 12 people at the moment. The extracts in the
toothpaste make contact with the lining of the mouth and can desensitize the
allergy suffer to the allergens. It appears to be more effective than a weekly
allergy shot or daily allergy drops. The prescription toothpaste is said to
taste, feel and work the same as regular toothpaste. Itching or tingling in the mouth is two side
effects which have been reported. Health Briefs TV believes that this special
toothpaste is not yet available across the country, but recommends interested
readers ask their family doctor or allergist about it. It is available in
several states. Imagine simply brushing your teeth every day to finally get rid
of the sneezing, wheezing, coughing, eye watering and nose dripping misery that
can ruin a day’s worth of activities.
