Does peppermint oil have any long term effect on your teeth?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not exactly: Oils like peppermint oil has very little effect on the enamel of the teeth, the effect could come (if these oils are colored ) in the form of stains and deposits. If you clean you teeth regularly , brush, floss and of course see you dentist regularly , it shouldn't be a problem

Yes! All Good: Due to its antiseptic properties, it is useful for dental care. It removes bad breath and helps teeth and gums deal with germs. No wonder, it is added in numerous toothpastes. It is also useful for treating toothaches.
