COCONUT OIL and BAKING SODA as your TOOTHPASTE for WHITER TEETH!!!

Have you tried using coconut oil mixed with baking soda as your toothpaste? Well, I have been using this method for 5 days now and I can see great improvement with the color of my teeth. Let me tell you the facts about the coconut oil and baking soda as benefits to your teeth.

Coconut oil is great for the overall health of your mouth. It has antibacterial properties that help to kill bacteria, and its antifungal properties are useful for helping treat or prevent oral thrush, which is caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the mouth.

Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate is a white, crystalline, slightly alkaline powder that bears semblance to washing soda. This weakly alkaline baking soda, when dissolved in water, releases free radicals. When baking soda-water mixture is put into the mouth, the free radicals from the mixture interact with the stain molecules on the teeth enamel (outer layer of the teeth) and scrape off the yellow and brown stains on the teeth. Thus, baking soda breaks down the discoloration of the teeth, thereby brightening and whitening the teeth that have been built up from drinking tea, coffee, colas, chewing tobacco and smoking.
