The researches of Athlone Institute of Technology conducted a research to find out the biocidal properties against bacteria who are responsible for the decaying of tooth . Thus they proved that coconut oil can finely attack those bacteria which are common resident of the human mouth.According to scientist the oil with digestive enzymes will hinder the growth of bacteria in the mouth including Streptococcus mutans. Mutans is a bacteria which produce acid that leads to tooth decay.They claim that if coconut oil is adding with the dental hygiene products it will be best way to attack the bacteria and can protect the teeth.Coconut oil is also well known to cure certain infections,provide immunizations,support organ health now its proved that its is beneficial for oral health.
Several reasons for using coconut oil instead of regular tooth paste.In our regular used tooth paste contain ‘triclosan’ which is an antibacterial chemical.This triclosan relate to antibiotic resistance and endocrine disruptions.They promote cancer,hint at hormones.Another agent is the fluoride that is seen much in the tooth paste ,its the industrial waste product ,which is more harmful because its a toxic substance. Fluoride will discolor and harm the enamel of the teeth , if its taken in excess.
Researches say that massage with coconut oil to the gums of the teeth daily 10 mins will reduce the decay of the teeth.Many of the tooth paste use sodium laurel sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) for foaming .These chemicals must affect the taste buds in our tongue ie, they will break up the phospholipids of the tongue.All of them cause everything tasting very bad after brushing with paste.But coconut oil will maintain natural lipids on the tongue. With coconut oil baking soda is also mixed which act as abrasive (grinding) that helps in whitening the teeth.
