Why Dr Hisham's teeth serum is not a toothpaste?

Dr Hisham's Oral Care System

Dr Hisham's oral care system is the first of its kind. While traditional toothpastes contain irritants, toxins, abrasives and detergents, the Dr Hisham’s range champions holistic oral care and overall human health.

Developed by leading laser cosmetic dental surgeon, Dr Hisham Abdalla, the Dr Hisham’s teeth serum was created as an oral care supplement that really cleans the teeth and gums, while also nurturing and protecting the mouth and oral microbiome.

Western societies are now beginning to grasp the dire consequences of the unpronounceable ingredients hidden in our food supply. And our morning and evening brushing routine is not exempt from this issue. The Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 estimated that oral diseases affect 3.5 billion people worldwide1. Why? In the age of technological innovation and advanced medicines, we continue to struggle with basic bodily care and upkeep. Highly processed, hyper-palatable foods that are often loaded with sugar do not help the situation. This led Dr Hisham and his team to develop a new paradigm in oral care, via the natural and nurturing Dr Hisham’s teeth serum.

Harmful Detergents and Abrasives

We have become accustomed to incredible chemical features such as foam, lather, shine and buff, and we deem this as "effective". But, to what cost? Ultimately our health, and the health of our environment.

Triclosan (TCS) is an anti-microbial chemical found in various consumer products, including conventional soaps, hand sanitisers, toothpaste, and mouthwash2. Numerous studies have raised concerns citing negative human health effects. Debates centred around whether this chemical is fuelling antibiotic resistance is rife3. Marvin M. Lipman, M.D., Consumer Reports chief medical advisor, suggests: "there is evidence that exposure to triclosan interferes with the production and activity of hormones in the body, which could contribute to infertility, early puberty, obesity, and other problems,"4. In September 2017, the FDA effectively banned TCS in the sale of antibacterial soaps and body washes after manufacturers failed to prove that the products' active ingredients were safe and effective. This rule failed to ban its use in hand "sanitisers" or wipes or antibacterial products used in health care settings (including toothpaste and mouth wash)5.

Long-time exposure to harmful agents such as detergents, surfactants, harsh abrasives, and other dangerous ingredients (triclosan, sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), propylene glycol, artificial sweeteners, diethanolamine (DEA), parabens, etc.) can lead to:

• Sensitive gums
• Damage to irreplaceable tooth enamel
• Demineralisation of teeth leading to chalky feel and cosmetic damage
• Chronic toxicity (carcinogenic)
• Organ toxicity (heart, liver, lungs and brain)
• Aquatic environmental toxicity

“Natural Flavours” That Aren’t Always Natural

The cost of natural flavouring for your morning minty fresh breath may come with steep consequences. Conscious consumers are shying away from potentially harmful "flavourings and preservatives" and opting for "natural flavours". But, did you know, flavour manufacturers do not have to disclose their ingredients? They freely add synthetic solvents, preservatives, emulsifiers, carriers and other additives to a flavour that qualifies as "natural" under current regulations6. These mixtures can contain over 100 harmful chemicals that have other functions. Alarmingly, solvents, emulsifiers, flavour modifiers and preservatives often make up 80–90% of the mixture7.

Dangerous chemical cocktails threaten healthy oral regulation. The drying effects of petroleum-based chemicals may contribute to the problem. Saliva is necessary to moisten the mouth, neutralise acids produced by plaque, and wash away dead cells that accumulate on the tongue, gums, and cheeks. If not removed, these cells decompose and can cause bad breath8.

“Natural Toothpastes” May Not Be Much Better

There are also a lot of so-called “natural” toothpastes out there that claim to clean your mouth, but at the expense of adding toxic irritants and chemicals that are not good for your oral microbiome.

Health Begins in the Mouth

What if oral care products were actually health supplements, physiologically protecting you and naturally nutritional to your body and your symbiotic microbiome?

The Oral Microbiome Feeds the Gut Microbiome

Dr Hisham's teeth serum contains no petroleum-based chemicals, artificial (or natural) flavourings or preservatives. Instead, it provides nurturing minerals that adhere to mucosal tissues and supports vibrant populations of good bacteria.
