One of the lesser-known applications of CBD is in dentistry. Several properties, including analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial achieved through its interaction with the endocannabinoid system, can benefit the users.

A wide assortment of CBD edibles like candies, gummies, chewing gums, and chocolates is growing popular worldwide. One of the reasons for this increasing interest is that these edibles are delicious and easy to dose. But did you know some of them can also benefit your teeth and gum health?

 

So, what are the benefits of CBD-infused treats to dental hygiene? Given that sugar-filled treats may not be the right choice for your gums, which CBD treats are most appropriate to achieve good oral health? Here are four amazing CBD treats that are flavor-filled and good for your gums.

1.  Cannabis Chewing Gums

 

Chewing gums are useful for washing away food debris, reducing decay-causing acid levels in the mouth, removing harmful sugars from corrupting the enamel, and even helping with ear-wax build-up. They help protect the mouth against decay, cavities and induce a refreshing smell and after-feel. 

 

The addition of CBD in your regular chewing gums introduces several powerful benefits to this treat. It is one of the quickest ways of experiencing the effects of cannabidiol. Hemp oil contains a compound called Lecithin that doubles as an emulsifier to enable CBD to travel down to the gut and float on the stomach acid. On reaching the gut, the compound goes through rapid oxidation to finally enter the bloodstream. The complete process provides various benefits, including stress and anxiety relief, enhanced appetite, and pain relief.

 Chewing CBD-infused gum also has potential benefits to the gums. The process releases a spectrum of cannabinoids into the mouth. These phytocannabinoids can reduce inflammation in the gums effectively due to potent anti-inflammatory benefits. CBD is also a powerful antibiotic that can reduce bacteria-induced infections in the gums. The compound can thus protect the teeth and gums and promote dental hygiene. Chewing a CBD gum post-meal can be quite beneficial to eliminate food deposits that can breed harmful bacteria.

2.  CBD Fudge

Typically fudge recipes have too much sugar that can affect the gums and teeth. This CBD-infused fudge recipe, like most red horn kratom, leverages the dental benefits of cannabidiol. Using peanut butter with no sugar or additives can be beneficial to your gums. Research suggests that it can fight gum disease and help repair damaged cells as it is a rich protein source.
