Oil Pulling. Does Your Dentist Tell You That You Have Dry Month And You'll Always Need Deep Cleaning

Oil pulling is an age-old remedy that uses natural substances to clean and detoxify teeth and gums. It has the added effect of whitening teeth naturally and evidence even shows that it is beneficial in improving gums and removing harmful bacteria!

The basic idea is that oil is swished in the mouth for a short time each day and that this action helps improve oral health. Just as with Oil Cleansing for the skin, the principle applies, as oil is able to cut through plaque and remove toxins without disturbing the teeth or gums.

How to: Put 1-2 teaspoons of oil into the mouth. I prefer to use 2 teaspoons of organic coconut oil. I scoop it out as a solid and let it melt in my mouth before swishing Swish for 20 minutes. Timing is key, The oil will get thicker and milky as it mixed with saliva. Spit and rinse with warm water.
