May boost dental and oral health

In India, chewing neem bark to increase oral cleanliness is a popular habit. The antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-boosting properties of neem may benefit dental health. Although further study is needed, studies show that neem may alleviate discomfort and aid in the treatment of gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth decay.

Furthermore, research suggests that neem may reduce bacteria's capacity to colonize the surface of your teeth, hence lowering plaque production. Furthermore, in a 21-day trial of 45 persons with gingivitis, neem mouthwash was found to be just as good at decreasing gum bleeding and plaque as chlorhexidine mouthwash – a heavy-duty prescription mouthwash.
