Better Oral Health
Consuming pineapple juice a few days before or after oral surgery might help with recovery. Pineapple juice may also reduce swelling, bruising and inflammation in the gums.
Since pineapple juice is a natural astringent, it might help tighten gum tissues. Not only could this be beneficial post-surgery but also for loose adult teeth or receding gum lines. The vitamin C and A, alongside bromelain, may also speed up wound healing after oral surgery.
