Brilio.net - When talking about oral health, there are 2 common problems that many people often suffer from, namely bad breath and yellowing of the teeth. These two problems often arise and disturb the comfort of many people when carrying out their activities. Therefore, efforts to eliminate bad breath and whiten the color of teeth need to be made.
As an organ that functions in eating and drinking activities, it is clear that the teeth and mouth area is an ideal place for bacteria to grow. This is because food and drink residue stuck to the teeth can become a source of dirt that triggers the growth of bacteria and germs. As a result, not only does it give rise to bad breath, this process will also make your teeth yellow and dirty.
If not handled properly, this dirt can harden into plaque stains. Well, this plaque buildup can then worsen the yellowing process of the teeth. This type of discoloration can usually be resolved with regular cleaning and bleaching. Indeed, the most important way to deal with yellow color on your teeth is to regularly clean or brush them.
However, some bad habits such as smoking or drinking coffee make it difficult to keep your teeth white. Apart from teeth that appear yellow, sometimes bad breath also occurs because of this habit. Generally, bad breath occurs due to food residue, bacteria and dirt in the mouth. Leftover food in the mouth will be destroyed by bacteria, causing an unpleasant odor.
These two problems make anyone less confident, so many people look for ways to whiten yellow teeth and overcome bad breath . One way is to use natural ingredients. Not a few people use lemon and salt to overcome the problem of yellow teeth and bad breath.
In fact, there are other ingredients that are effective for treating and preventing these two oral problems, you know. Like the upload shared by the TikTok account @eatmoverest on June 8 2020. The upload contains tricks for whitening yellow teeth and overcoming bad breath using coconut oil. Not only coconut oil, he also added another ingredient, namely baking soda.
Adapted from Healthline, the benefits of coconut oil for maintaining healthy teeth and mouth have apparently been known since ancient times. This use is known as oil pulling, which was first discovered in India. Although it cannot be used as the only treatment for dental problems, the lauric acid content in coconut oil has been proven to prevent various dental problems.

Lauric acid is a type of fatty acid that is most effective at killing bacteria compared to other types of acid. Coconut oil may not be used to whiten teeth directly. However, coconut oil has benefits as a bacteria killer and prevention of cavities.
This means that this fluid also prevents tooth discoloration that accompanies this condition. The monolaurin content in coconut oil has been proven to suppress the growth of oral bacteria so that bad breath can be overcome.
Meanwhile, baking soda is known to have benefits for whitening yellow teeth. Baking soda has natural whitening properties so it is often added to toothpaste products. Research in The Journal of Clinical Dentistry found that toothpaste containing baking soda is more effective at removing yellow stains.
