Is the conconut useful to remove teeth decay ?

No: Nothing you can apply to teeth will remove the decay. Only a dentist can perform the 'drilling' that will do it. There may be some things you can apply to protect against new decay from beginning - ask at the office when you go for treatment.

No, see a dentist: Here's the bottom line, coconut does not remove or treat the tooth decay, and it's important that patients are made fully aware of that. See a dentist for evaluation and treatment. If not treated, tooth decay can cause pain, infection, and tooth loss. Take care.

No: Decay cannot be removed with coconut. If you have decay, be sure to see a dentist.
