Rinsing your mouth with coconut oil (called ‘oil pulling’) is an old remedy that people swear by to help whiten teeth. Lauric acid in coconut oil can cleanse your teeth of bacteria found in plaque that can make them yellow. It may also promote gum health, and help keep your breath fresh.
Directions:
Before you brush your teeth, scoop out a tablespoon or a little less of coconut oil. Push, swish, and “pull” the oil through and around your teeth for 10-15 minutes, then spit it out, rinse with water, and brush your teeth.
