8. Oil pulling
The lauric acid in coconut oil helps remove bacteria from your teeth and gums, while also clinging onto toxins and drawing them out of your teeth. Regular oil pulling will reduce plaque and staining. So what do you need to do to reap the benefits of this powerful remedy? Simply swish a tablespoon of coconut oil around your mouth for 15 minutes, then spit it out. You’ll need to repeat this once a day.
