Coconut Oil Gingivitis:
Healthy Gums, the Safe and
Coconut Oil Way

Coconut oil gingivitis? A simple blend of coconut oil and baking soda will give you clean teeth, fresh breath and of course, healthy gums.

All these dental blessings are yours, risk-free, when you brush your teeth using coconut oil.

Inflammation of the gums or Gingivitis is a dental problem wherein the gums usually become red, swollen and spongy, and bleed easily. Gingivitis is typically caused by bacterial plaque that accumulates in the small gaps between the gums and teeth.

A number of my fellow Filipinos in the provinces still brush their teeth everyday with a mixture of coconut oil and baking soda, and their breath is as fresh as it can be. That's because coconut oil destroys bacteria that cause bad breath, tooth decay and gum disease.

Did you know that fluoride, the active ingredient in many toothpaste brands, is a highly toxic substance. When ingested, fluoride increases the incidence of cancer and tumor growth, and disrupts the immune system. It also increases the aging process, is a systemic poison, etc.

No wonder the label on many fluoride toothpaste products say, "Do not swallow. Children 6 years and below: use only a pea-sized amount under supervised brushing."

Fluoride should be used directly on teeth. Never swallow it!

Because coconut oil is naturally safe, you won't have to worry about toxicity or poison each time you brush your teeth.

Do you have gums that are tender, red and sore in a few spots? Gently rub or massage them with coconut oil and don't be surprised to find quick relief. This is one coconut oil benefit wherein direct or external application works best.

Do your gums bleed a lot whenever you brush your teeth? Rinse your mouth with coconut oil (oil-pulling) just a few times and there's an excellent chance that your gums will stop bleeding. Plus, no more redness and soreness.

So what are you waiting for, friend? Give coconut oil gingivitis benefits a fair shot. Remember, coconut oil is a food, not a drug, so it's perfectly safe. You, absolutely, have nothing to lose.
