3. Dental Care
When it comes to promoting and improving dental health, eucalyptus is very effective in fighting away bacteria which cause plaque build-up and tooth decay, making it a key ingredient in many dental preparations or oral hygiene products.
The antibacterial and antimicrobial properties of eucalyptus make it particularly successful when it comes to clearing up dental complaints, and keeping breath smelling fresh as can be. Some mouthwashes, both commercially produced varieties, and homemade versions use eucalyptus as the main ingredient in their make up. Chewing gum also may feature eucalyptus, with claims that it can aid dental health when chewed between mealtimes.
These are bold claims for mouthwash and toothpaste companies to make, that eucalyptus has as much potential as it does, but until they are proven wrong, the virtues of this naturally occurring essential oil will continue to whiten smiles and freshen breath all around the world. Keep smiling.
