Who knew?

Who knew that coconut oil kills dental bacteria and there are many reason to use it instead of toothpaste or at least along with toothpaste.

With all the scares over being antibiotic resistant and the health problems and

diseases that chemicals can promote you might want to look into using coconut oil as an alternative. Just a few of the chemicals found in toothpastes scare me, like triclosan and fluoride! Coconut oil helps maintain a normal balance in your mouth, a healthy environment, so to speak and does it while it keeps bacterial to a minimum.

If you don't like the idea of brushing with coconut oil, use it as a mouth wash. They say swishing through your teeth several times a week can help keep tartar down and help keep bacteria low. 

We all have heard how coconut oil is good for our hair, skin, helps with dark circles under the eyes, toenail fungus and can help with our diets. Nature is always the best way to go if you have a choice.....so, why not? I know I am going to start using it as a mouth wash for sure!
