Teeth Problems? Coconut Oil To The Rescue!

Every Nigerian that was born and bred on Nigerian soil probably knows how good coconut oil is. Trust our Yoruba mothers, they discovered the secret to fresh and soft skin in 'adi agbon' years ago. It's great for the hair too but new discoveries show that coconut oil can even save you teeth stress and expensive trips to the dentist too!

The process is simple, it might seem a bit uncomfortable, but wouldn't you rather use coconut oil than sit in a dentists's chair?

What do I do?  

Well, you take 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and swish it around like mouthwash for five minutes (it'll feel like a real long time but it's so worth it!) and then spit it out.  

It may feel a little uncomfortable at first—swishing oil around in your mouth—but the benefits are definitely worth it. This is one of the best ways to supplement flossing, an imperative but often neglected aspect of oral hygiene. 

So what does the coconut oil do? 

Well, coconut oil is naturally antibacterial so it immediately combats hidden bacteria and removes plaque which is at the core of many cavity-causing problems. 

 And the specific health benefits are?

You reduce the risk of gingivitis, rid yourself of nasty breath, and, best of all, you lower the risk of particular mouth cancers.

It does sound odd and a little hard to imagine but honestly, just try it once and you'll definitely be won over.
