Coconut Oil Pulling As A Wholistic Prevention For Tooth Decay

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If you’ve never heard of coconut oil pulling before, you’re in for a fun method to help promote healthy teeth and gums! As a <a href="https://thejunction.dentist/complete-health-dentistry/" class="rank-math-link">holistic dentistry in Toronto</a>, Junction Family Dental loves to recommend this method to our patients because it is such a naturally fantastic way to detox your oral region by merely swishing around coconut oil in your mouth for around 10-20 minutes.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It really is as simple as it sounds and this method has been around for years as an Ayurvedic detoxification technique. How does this work you may ask? By swishing around the coconut oil in between your teeth, it draws impurities and toxins from deep inside the oral cavities to release into the coconut oil.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2>Some amazing benefits to coconut oil pulling include:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><li>Preventing tooth decay (even more effective than flossing at times), cavities, and cardiovascular disease</li><li>Reducing oral inflammation</li><li><a href="https://thejunction.dentist/general-dentistry/" class="rank-math-link">Whitening your teeth</a></li><li>Eliminating bad breath</li><li>Strengthening gums and jaw</li><li>Healing acne&nbsp;</li><li>Healing bleeding of the gums</li><li>Boosting overall immunity</li><li>Helping dryness of the throat</li><li>Healing cracked lips</li></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Through the coconut oil pulling technique, you can see why as a biological dentistry we get super excited about all these incredible benefits that go beyond just oral! Because it is such an easy and safe technique, we couldn’t be more happy to recommend it to all of our patients.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To put this technique as simply as we can, firstly make sure to do this prior to any eating/drinking (as soon as you wake up). After swishing around a tablespoon of coconut oil in your mouth for about 10-20 minutes, spit it out and then rinse. We recommend spitting the oil into a garbage can or outside to prevent it from solidifying in your drains. You can then proceed to brush your teeth as normal.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Come book your appointment at <a href="https://thejunction.dentist/" class="rank-math-link">Junction Family Dental in Toronto</a> to receive more guidance towards holistic techniques we recommend and promote to our patients who are looking for an alternative to a regular dental experience.
