If sensitive gums are keeping you from the exceptionally clean teeth you want, pick up a tube of the Ratanhia toothpaste from Weleda.

Developed with the help of dentists, the formula incorporates wild ratanhia root extracts to aid the fight against bleeding gums. For centuries, the Peruvian inhabitants of the Andena mountains have relied upon the root to look after their teeth. Its natural strengthening qualities and anti-bacterial benefits ensure that sore gums are both protected and strengthened, leaving you with a set of teeth you'll be proud to show off.

Add refreshing essential oils of peppermint and spearmint to the blend, alongside soothing myrrh and calcium-based cleansers, and you're left with a brilliant solution to the problems of unclean teeth and sensitive gums.
