Healthy Teeth Inside and Out!
Good oral hygiene with the right products is essential for maintaining beautiful and healthy teeth. But it doesn’t stop there—your diet also plays a significant role in supporting dental health from within.
What you eat—and avoid—can either protect your teeth or put them at risk for decay and disease. To address these needs, Dr. Mintcheva has developed targeted nutritional supplements designed specifically for dental health. The MINT Minerals & Trace Elements Complex and the MINT Vitamin Complex with Folic Acid & Niacin provide everything your teeth and gums need to thrive.
