Since the coconut oil is high in Lauric acid, Capric acid and Caprylic acid, which destroys bacteria and fungi in our body, using the coconut oil toothpaste to brush your teeth would help the prevention and elimination of viruses and bacteria from your mouth. Also, coconut oil helps in the absorption of calcium in body which thereby helps the formation and growth of a better and stronger teeth. Coconut oil toothpaste also stops the formation of plaque and diseases like gingivitis. Another significant benefit of using coconut oil toothpaste is that it prevents the tooth decay. The coconut oil toothpaste also helps to act against the gum diseases and inflammation.
Since it is difficult to find coconut oil toothpaste in market, you can yourself make one at your home in no time. You can make Coconut oil toothpaste using commonly available ingredients like a cup of coconut oil, 3 table spoons of baking soda, and few drops of cinnamon oil. Heat the coconut oil and then mix the other ingredients. Stir it to give it a paste like consistency. You must store the same in an air tight container. Every time you need to brush, just dip the toothbrush in this paste and apply on teeth and start brushing.
Rub a Banana on your teeth
Yes, you read that right! Banana is a fruit which is high in potassium, magnesium, and manganese. These elements are even richer in a ripe banana, hence using the ripe banana for teeth cleansing makes more sense. These three vitamins will definitely help to get more clean teeth. Also, in case you have some stains on your teeth, rubbing of banana on your teeth for a few days will help remove those stains. Rub the banana on your teeth for about two minutes and brush your teeth afterwards.
Use Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar has teeth whitening properties. It can also help removing the stains when used along with baking soda. Do not expect quick results as it may take some time to get your teeth off the stains and make them whiter. Use Apple cider vinegar to wash your mouth 3 times daily.
Use Sea salt
Another way to brush your teeth is with the sea salt. Just liquefy half teaspoon of salt in some water and brush your teeth with it for 3 to 4 minutes. The salt helps to enhance the level of pH of the mouth and hence making it more alkaline. In an alkaline environment no bacteria can stay and survive. Thus sea salt is very effective in flushing out bacteria from your mouth. Sea salt also helps treat mouth sores.
Neem Sticks
You might have seen your grandmother using Neem sticks to clean their mouth. When there were no toothpastes and fancy teeth cleansing products (which are available in the market nowadays), people used Neem sticks to keep their teeth clean and free from germs.
