This coconut oil toothpaste is made of organic cold pressed unrefined food grade coconut oil and organic aluminum-free baking soda, and organic Stevia leaf extract. This toothpaste works alongside the Miswak toothbrush very well. It comes in a glass jar no plastic. Even used for oil pulling alone. GREAT for kids!
Oil pulling involves swishing oil around the mouth. It is like using mouthwash, but for a longer period.
Coconut oil is absorbable, and it has several recognized health benefits, including reducing inflammation and fighting harmful oral bacteria. It is also edible, so there are few risks for oral hygiene use.
Most proponents of oil pulling recommend swishing 1 tablespoon of oil around the mouth for 15–20 minutes, then spitting it out.
The mouth contains a diverse population of bacteria. Some are harmful and may lead to tooth decay, bad breath, and gum disease.
AÂ 2016 study with 60 participants found that oil pulling can reduce the population of bacteria in saliva and support oral hygiene. The researchers say that coconut oil is a safe alternative to chlorhexidine, an ingredient in some commercial mouthwashes.
Bad breath generally results from a buildup of bacteria in the mouth. This may be related to poor oral hygiene, infection, or gum disease.
The bacteria in plaque can contribute to gingivitis, a common gum disease that causes redness and swelling and inflammation. It can also cause the gums to bleed easily. Research suggests that organic coconut oil can reduce inflammation.
In addition, according to a small 2015 study and another 2020 study, oil pulling with coconut oil can reduce plaque formation and help prevent plaque-induced gingivitis.
