5. Coconut Oil
Since we’re already on the topic of oil, we might as well continue the trend by taking you through the benefits of another useful oil. Coconut oil has been used to treat various diseases, and gum disease is without a doubt one of them.
Coconut oil is most effective as a treatment when combined with baking soda. Using these two substances together could completely exterminate any bacteria-inducing acids that may be lurking in your mouth. All you have to do is grab a small bowl and mix two tablespoons of baking soda and coconut oil. Keep mixing the two ingredients until you see them blend together and take on the consistency of a thick paste.
Think of the processes as mixing water and flour to create a dough. Be sure not to ditch your toothpaste as you do actually need it, just use the coconut paste as a substitute a couple of times each week until you see your symptoms disappear.
