It doesn't do much
This answer is wrong. Sorry But it is. After brief research i found this at "http://www.holisticwebs.com/cancer/silica.pdf"
By hardening the enamel, silica prevents cavities and preserves teeth. Silica also prevents bleeding gums, gum
atrophy, and recession that causes the loosening of teeth, which could ultimately lead to tooth loss. Vegetal silica
effectively fights caries (ulceration and the decay of a bone or of a tooth) and inflammation.
Crystalline Silica causes silicosis if inhaled but Silica does have positive aspect as well i suggest you read the whole pdf.
Silica can be beneficial for dental health as it helps in the remineralization of tooth enamel and can support the structural integrity of teeth. It is often included in toothpaste and dental products for its mild abrasive properties, which aid in removing plaque and stains. However, moderation is key, as excessive use can lead to enamel erosion. Overall, silica can be a helpful component in oral care when used appropriately.
Products containing the ingredients hydrated silica , in particular, should be avoided when gum disease, tooth decay, sensitivity and receding gums are present. While these ingredients can remove tartar and make teeth whiter in appearance, they also may do harm to dental health by altering the acidic balance of the mouth, gums and tongue.
Any metrial or thing which containts silica in it is call silica content..
where can silica mineral can be found
Yes. Silica is everywhere.
The chemical compound silica is an oxide of silicon .In other words; silicon is in silica.
Calcite does not contain any silica. It is a carbonate mineral.
Sand usually contains abundant silica, but it generally is not pure silica.
lava rich in silica
You can buy Silica Gel from: http://www.silicagelpackets.com/ They have just about anything Silica Gel related; Loose Bulk Silica Gel, Silica Gel Packets, Canisters, Dehumidifiers, Flower Drying Silica Gel, etc.
Krakatoa is silica-rich, meaning it contains a high amount of silicon dioxide (silica) in its composition. This high silica content is associated with explosive volcanic eruptions due to the interaction between silica and magma.
Rhyolite is silica-rich, containing over 70% silica. It is an extrusive igneous rock with a fine-grained texture that forms from the rapid cooling of magma rich in silica content.
