Read More »Cinnamon is a spice that has long been celebrated for its medicinal properties and warming aroma and flavor. The spice is made of dried bark from various trees of the Cinnamomum genus, while cinnamon essential oils are extracted from the tree’s bark, leaves, fruits, and flowers. Research suggests that some of the compounds in cinnamon have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties ( 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ). This may be why some people throughout history have used the spice to help treat toothaches and other ailments ( 5 ). This article explores whether cinnamon may benefit your gums, oral health, and dental hygiene. Share on Pinterest Science Photo Library/Offset Images How cinnamon fights infections Cinnamon’s antimicrobial properties may help fight off pathogens like bacteria and fungi ( 6 , 7 , 8 ). Because many infections of the mouth are caused by bacteria and fungi, cinnamon has been studied as a potential treatment for dental ailments. Some of the main beneficial compounds in cinnamon are ( 6 , 9 , 10 , 11 ): cinnamaldehyde

Read More »Does it work for gingivitis? Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums caused by plaque or bacteria. It often leads to swelling or bleeding and can be painful. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to a more advanced stage of periodontal gum disease. Promisingly, emerging research shows that cinnamon oils may have the potential to help prevent gum infections. One test-tube study found that the essential oil of cinnamon bark may inhibit Porphyromonas gingivalis, a type of bacteria that can cause gingivitis and gum disease ( 31 ). Two other test-tube studies have further determined that cinnamon oil may act as an antibacterial agent against Enterococcus fecalis, which is another common cause of gum disease, especially among people who’ve had root canals ( 32 , 33 ). However, human studies are needed to confirm whether cinnamon spice or essential oils can help treat these conditions outside of test tubes. SUMMARY In test-tube studies, cinnamon oils have been shown to work against various bacteria strains that can cause gingivitis. How to use cinnamon on teeth and gums In traditional medicine, cinnamon is often applied directly to the affected areas in the mouth. Some may chew on cinnamon sticks, rinse with cinnamon water, or mix ground cinnamon with honey and apply it to the area in pain. However, there’s limited evidence supporting the effectiveness of such techniques. Plus, most studies on cinnamon for toothaches and mouth infections have used either cinnamon extracts, essential oils, or individual compounds isolated from cinnamon — not the ground spice. Thus, the best ways to use cinnamon for oral health and dental hygiene remain uncertain at this time, although a few studies have started investigating how cinnamon could be added to common products and become a part of your daily hygiene routine. One older study found that chewing cinnamon gum for 20 minutes significantly reduced the number of bacteria in human saliva. However, the study was small, and similar effects were observed for sweetened gum that didn’t contain cinnamon ( 34 ). A more recent study observed that a cinnamon toothpaste helped reduce the presence of Streptococcus mutans ( 25 ). Other studies found that cinnamon oil may prevent Candida biofilm from emerging on dentures and dental implants, suggesting that the oil could be used to clean dentures, retainers, mouth guards, and other dental appliances ( 35 , 36 ). Overall, cinnamon and its compounds show potential as beneficial ingredients in toothpaste and powders, mouthwashes, chewing gums, teas, and more, but more research is needed. SUMMARY Cinnamon may be a helpful addition to oral hygiene products, though only a few human studies have measured how effective it is when applied directly to the teeth. Potential side effects In general, cinnamon is considered safe for human use. No evidence has suggested that it could be toxic to cells in the mouth ( 22 , 23 , 36 ). Nevertheless, there may be risks to using cinnamon for certain groups of people or those who apply it directly to their mouth. For example, one team of researchers found that high exposure to cinnamon extract could change the tooth enamel — the outer layer of the tooth — and that overexposure may cause changes in tooth color (37, 38). Also, some people may be sensitive to cinnamon and cinnamon flavors and even react to cinnamon ingredients with swelling and inflammation of the mouth and lips ( 39 , 40 , 41 ). What’s more, some people are allergic to cinnamon. Some signs and symptoms include experiencing the following in the mouth and throat region ( 40 , 42 , 43 ): swelling
