Coconut oil is famous due to its health-boosting properties. Many people use it to get a healthy and bright smile. With the proper usage, one can achieve the desired smile. This is the reason that we discuss the answer to the query: How to brush teeth with coconut oil? Along with dental health, coconut oil has many other health benefits, such as providing shiny hair, etc. It can also be used to whiten teeth. Furthermore, people who are suffering from halitosis can also use coconut oil to solve these bad breath complications. This comprehensive guide provides the latest coconut oil research and discusses its benefits.

Coconut Oil And Oral Health

Coconut oil is one of the great sources that is used to keep your white pearls healthy and white. People can use the process of oil pulling to get a bright smile. It is also the best solution to deal with different types of gum problems, oral cavities, etc. Coconut oil is enriched with microbial properties. This is the reason that it is also used to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. 

Furthermore, many of us suffer from bad breath problems. Coconut oil is also used to attack harmful bacteria that cause bad breath and gum diseases also. S. mutans is a bacteria that, if not treated, leads to tooth decay. Coconut oil is used to kill such bacteria.

In a study involving 60 participants, the practice of oil pulling with coconut oil demonstrated a noteworthy decrease in S. mutans bacteria over a 2-week period. The amount used, 10 millilitres per day, yielded results comparable to those achieved with chlorhexidine, a common antibacterial component found in conventional mouthwash formulations. Similarly, a study focusing on 50 children aged 8 to 12 revealed a significant reduction in S. mutans bacteria after daily oil pulling with coconut oil for 2 to 3 minutes over a span of 30 days. Interestingly, the outcomes mirrored those observed in the control group using chlorhexidine, suggesting that coconut oil could be just as effective.

However, a comprehensive review conducted in 2020 underscores the need for more robust, randomized, controlled studies to deepen our understanding of oil pulling as a potentially effective treatment for eliminating oral bacteria. Despite the promising findings in the aforementioned studies, further research is required to establish the efficacy of this practice in a more conclusive and scientifically rigorous manner.

Coconut oil is also used to treat gingivitis, which leads to gum inflammation and tooth decay if not treated within time. Now the question is, what is the main reason for gum disease? The leading cause of gingivitis is plaque and tartar that accumulate on your white pearls. This happens in those people who do not brush their teeth on a regular basis. Coconut oil is used to treat such types of problems and provides a healthy smile. It may prevent bad breath. Many people use it to treat the common dental problem called halitosis. If you struggle with bad breath, then pulling on coconut oil is one of the best ways to cope with such a situation. Its microbial properties effectively solve the problem of bad breath. 

How To Brush Teeth With Coconut Oil?

Now, the question is how to brush your teeth with coconut oil. Below, we have mentioned the answer to this query step by step.
