Keeping on top of your oral health is key to good health. Many health experts believe that a lot of serious diseases start in the mouth. Although beverages like coffee and tea are great for health when organic, they can create stains on the teeth. This turmeric and coconut oil whitening toothpaste can help make your teeth shiny again without the harsh chemicals. Let’s take a look at the ingredients.
Coconut oil:
Coconut oil is equipped with potent antibacterial properties, so it can help kill the bacteria lurking in your mouth. It can also help reduce inflammation.
Peppermint:
Peppermint has long been an herb associated with mouth health. Not only will it help give you that minty fresh breath, it also has potent antibacterial properties.
Turmeric:
Turmeric is probably the most researched spice in the world for health, and for good reason. It has powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antimicrobial properties.
