3. Mineralize Teeth
Studies show that oral health has links to our general health. As we age, our teeth lose their minerals. This demineralizing effect causes our teeth to weaken, and as a result – they’re more prone to cavities and gum disease.
Dental experts thought that it was impossible to remineralize teeth. However, research suggests that this is indeed possible. Coconut oil has potent antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that assist with this task.
