Covering topics including healthy nutrition, oral care for children, and the benefits of botanicals and plant extracts for maintaining oral health, Artemis introduces a comprehensive eight-step self-dental protocol that offers an effective way to prevent decay, disease, acidic saliva, plaque buildup, gum bleeding, inflammation, and more.<br /><strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>About the author</strong><br />Author and health expert NADINE ARTEMIS is the creator of <a href="https://morgenisnu.nl/merk/living-libations/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Living Libations</a>, a stunning line of natural serums, elixirs and essential oils.
