Periodontal disease affects most people at some stage in life. However, according to a recent study that is published in Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, supplemental use of Q10 and tea tree oil may have potential benefits.

Healthy teeth are important for overall health and appearance. In this context, the trace element selenium plays a protective role in dental health through the immune system, regulation of inflammation, and its function as an antioxidant that protects cells and tissues from damage caused by oxidative stress. Selenium supplementation may therefore be a promising therapy for improving dental health and as part of the treatment of periodontal disease and other dental conditions, according to a review article published in the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Disease. There are also indications that additional supplementation with Q10 may improve the effect on dental health.
