Most people don’t realize that your teeth could be remineralized naturally. The combination of trace minerals, baking soda, coconut oil, and tea tree oil can do wonders for your teeth. Baking soda not only prevents tooth decay but also remineralizes your enamel effectively. It can also neutralize plaque acids. Tea Tree Oil possesses antibacterial and antiseptic properties which help with gingivitis, plaque, and inflamed gums. Additionally, tea tree oil has a whitening effect on teeth.
