tea tree oil any good?



Hello

I have irritated gums and minor bleading

My local health supplements shop advised me to use a couple of drops in
water of "tea tree oil" to rinse my mounth after brushing.

It should clean my teeth without irritating the gums. My teeth do look
cleaner and i have less gum irritation since i use it.

The thing that is worring me is that it might be acidic and may destroy
enamel since ur teeth are vulnerable just after brushing.

ingredients:melaleuca alternifolia
