Say Goodbye to Shining Pearly Whites with Coconut Oil, Says Specialist
Dentist Pikilidi debunks common misconceptions about coconut oil
No more brushing away your mornings with dreams of sparkling, perfectly white teeth! According to dental expert Tatiana Pikilidi, coconut oil is pretty much a myth when it comes to oral care. In a chat with "Uznay.ru," she lays it all out.
- Coconut oil is basically a placebo. It might be alright for your beauty routine, but don't count on it to work wonders. Coconut oil doesn't make your teeth any whiter, doesn't heal your gums, and it won't do a thing for the health of your mouth's membrane, - explains the specialist.
Pikilidi states that none of her patients have shown any noticeable improvements after using coconut oil. So, while it might be great for your skin, it's not going to save your teeth.
Remember the panic over imported cholera from India? Well, epidemiologist Andrei Sakharov was the one shouting the alarm. His advice? Before jetting off to high-risk areas, get vaccinated against the infection. Let's hope that advice made a difference for some of us.

Consider yourselfforewarned: Coconut oil might be good for your baby oil locker, but it's not gonna bring you Hollywood smiles. While it does boast potential antibacterial and antifungal properties, its effects on oral hygiene are modest compared to professional treatments.
With its lauric acid content, coconut oil can help target harmful microbes and reduce plaque buildup, but don't expect it to heal gums or reverse cavities. Despite its anti-inflammatory properties, its impact on gum inflammation and bleeding is minimal. And while it can help remove surface stains, don't expect it to whiten your teeth like a professional treatment would.
So, don't swish and wish for perfectly white teeth with coconut oil. Stick to your oral care routine, and maybe save the oil for your beauty regimen instead. After all, a little goes a long way, right?
