Sesame Oil芝麻油
Sesame seeds are thought to reduce plaque and help remineralize tooth enamel. A method of gargling with sesame oil, known as "oil pulling," is popular in Ayurvedic medicine. And in one controlled, triple-blind study, washing with sesame oil was just as effective as using chlorhexidine mouthwash in reducing plaque, gingival scores and the total bacterial count among a group of teenage boys who already had a diagnosis of plaque-induced gingivitis.
芝麻能减少牙菌斑，并且有助于加固牙釉质。在印度草药学里流行一种用香油漱口的方法，称为“油漱法”。在一项三盲对照实验里，对一 群因牙菌斑而导致牙龈炎的青少年进行研究，发现在减少牙菌斑、降低牙龈指数和总细菌数方面，用香油漱口和用洗必泰漱口效果相同。
