Mouth Mend Plus Triple-Kit

If you have noticed bleeding gums, bad breath, or have been told by your dentist that you have periodontal (gum) disease, this means that you have a bacterial infection that lives in the crevices between the gum and the tooth. The statistics point out that nine out of ten people have this infection to some degree. Large numbers and different types of bacteria can easily overwhelm the immune system, and the location of the infection makes it difficult to control. Gum disease is a reflection of an internal imbalance in the body. Many factors contribute to its cause and have been recently correlated with heart disease, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. Mouth Mend Plus has been specially formulated to help control or eliminate the majority of disease causing bacteria, support the immune system in its healing functions, and relieve the incidence of cold and canker sores.

Dr. Morgaine Donna Hager, R.D.H., N.D. recommends Mouth Mend Plus and regular supportive therapy from your dentist or hygienist.

Mouth Mend Plus Triple-Kit contains three liquid extracts which work synergistically to bring optimal health. Each system of the body is dependant on another for its ability to function properly. Therefore, to achieve optimal results, Mouth Mend Plus is ideal.
