In FortBite

Myrrh is paired with Ginger in FortBite's ingredient list, included to help support healthy gums and reduce plaque buildup.

Worth knowing

Myrrh is generally well tolerated in topical oral care use; check with your doctor first if you have a specific sensitivity or are on prescription medication.
