Cape Talk

Uh the charcoal, the bicarb, the the lemon juice, the and coconut oil pulling, which I keep hearing about and a friend, you know, friends of mine swear by it. Um any of these any good? Um any that maybe are giving us the result that we want in terms of whiteness but actually aren't very good for our teeth? You know, so again, you're gonna have say salt for example that creates an environment where bacteria doesn't like to live in, but it doesn't kill bacteria.

You know, the same as coconut oil. It's good, it's got good oral health or just general health or anti-inflammatory properties, but it's not going to kill bacteria. It's not going to do what you need to do to keep optimum health. You can use it in conjunction with a good antibacterial toothpaste. So a lot of people use it to floss and go through the areas. Yes, I can't say it does absolutely nothing, but there's really no clinical proof that it's your top-notch go-to answer.

Get advice from a dentist. I'm very, you know, for me, I'm very anti-six million products on a counter, and you're standing there trying to make your own sense out of what to buy. Right. Rather get the recommendation from your professional, and that's what you know, that's what the professionals are there for. But again, you know, your charcoals, all of that, unless they are made by a proper company, they can be very, very rough. And all that's going to do is mess up your enamel. Yeah, so you've got to be careful where.
