Benefits of Coconut Oil for Oral Health

 
Decreases tooth decay
our mouth is teeming with bacteria t all times. These bacteria are the main reason for plaque build-up and tooth decay. While brushing and flossing will help reduce plaque build-up too, it is oil pulling that has been recommended as the best remedy. A study suggested that a single routine of oil pulling can reduce the amount of Streptococcus mutans on teeth in about two weeks.
Prevents and treat gingivitis
Gingivitis is a gum disease that is caused due to the accumulation of plaque in the gaps and spaces between your teeth. Over time this leads to gum bleeding and bone loss. Oil pulling has been proved to be an effective treatment to reduce gingivitis up to 60 percent in comparison to brushing and flossing that ensures 13 percent effectiveness.
Prevents bad breath
Bad breath or halitosis is a fairly common condition and can be quite embarrassing. You can try mint or gum to freshen your breath but these only have a temporary effect. Oil pulling has been recommended to beat bad breath.
