Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons of coconut oil – Rich in antimicrobial properties, coconut oil helps reduce plaque and promotes oral health.
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda – A gentle abrasive that effectively removes surface stains without damaging enamel.

Preparation:

1. Mix the Ingredients:
   • In a small bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Mix until a smooth, paste-like consistency is achieved. If the coconut oil is solid, gently warm it until it melts, ensuring it’s not hot.
2. Apply the Mixture:
   • Using a clean toothbrush or your fingertip, apply the mixture evenly to your teeth. For hygiene, use a separate toothbrush from your daily one to avoid contamination.
3. Wait for 3 Minutes:
   • Let the mixture sit on your teeth for 3 minutes. This allows the baking soda to gently remove stains while the coconut oil works its antimicrobial magic.
4. Rinse Thoroughly:
   • Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water to remove all traces of the mixture. Optionally, follow with an alcohol-free mouthwash for extra freshness.
5. Repeat for Best Results:
   • Use this treatment once or twice a week for optimal results. Avoid overuse, as excessive baking soda can erode enamel over time.

Additional Tips:

• Gentle Brushing: Apply the mixture with light, gentle motions to protect your enamel from abrasion.
• Consistency is Key: While some may see immediate results, consistent use over time typically yields the best outcomes.
• Maintain Oral Health: Pair this treatment with regular dental hygiene practices, including flossing and using an antibacterial mouthwash.
