Substances that are consumed daily or occasionally may influence an individual's oral health. Some substances, such as alcohol, tobacco, and areca nut, adversely affect the oral region. However, some other substances, such as honey and green tea, which have antimicrobial properties, and berries, which have anticarcinogenic potential, exhibit beneficial effects on oral health. The effectiveness of synthetic drugs in maintaining oral health cannot be ignored; however, the benefits of synthetic drugs are associated with adverse effects and high costs. By contrast, the medicinal use of natural substances is associated with safety, affordability, and long-term benefits. In this paper, we review various natural substances that are potentially beneficial to oral health.
每日或偶尔摄入的物质可能会影响个人的口腔健康。一些物质,如酒精、烟草和槟榔,会对口腔区域产生不利影响。然而,其他一些物质,如具有抗菌特性的蜂蜜和绿茶,以及具有抗癌潜力的浆果,对口腔健康有有益影响。合成药物在维持口腔健康方面的有效性不容忽视;然而,合成药物的益处伴随着副作用和高成本。相比之下,天然物质的药用具有安全性、可承受性和长期益处。在本文中,我们综述了各种对口腔健康可能有益的天然物质。
