Coconut oil attacks the bacteria that causes tooth decay and could be used in dental products, according to a new study published this week.

Scientists found that when coconut oil is treated with digestive enzymes, it attacked the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, which is a major cause of tooth decay.

The researchers from the Athlone Institute of Technology in Ireland treated coconut oil, vegetable oil and olive oil with enzymes, in a process similar to digestion.

The oils were then tested against Streptococcus bacteria and only the enzyme-modified coconut oil showed an ability to inhibit the growth of Streptococcus bacteria.

Now scientists say coconut oil could be added to dental hygiene products.

"Incorporating enzyme-modified coconut oil into dental hygiene products would be an attractive alternative to chemical additives, particularly as it works at relatively low concentrations,” said Dr Damien Brady, who led the study.
