In addition to a holistically balanced diet and lifestyle, these are our Top Two Preventative Daily Oral Care Habits that you can do every day to look after your teeth and gums for life:
- Brushing with Organic Teethpaste, and
- Oil Pulling with one of our Organic Swishing Oils.
Teethpaste Balances Oral Microbiome
Teethpaste is made with only beneficial ingredients to support a healthy oral microbiome and remineralisation of teeth and gums naturally. Teethpaste helps cleanse the mouth and detoxify it of unwanted microbes, supporting a healthy oral environment, breaking down plaque build-up over time, and leaving your mouth truly clean and fresh.
Brushing with Teethpaste a minimum of twice daily can help prevent a build-up of plaque and bacteria and can also help reset oral microbiome to a balanced state, enabling internal remineralisation and regenerative processes to take place.
Swishing Oil Detoxifies & Strengthens
Oil pulling, or Swishing, is an effective whole mouth detox that ‘pulls’ any potential build-up of food debris, sugars, toxins and bacteria that cause plaque and bad breath out of your mouth. Swishing with our Organic Swishing Oils provides similar benefits to flossing, a healing mouthwash, and jaw exercises – all rolled into one.
Swishing helps strengthen tooth enamel, relieve sensitivity, and improve gum health. It may also help stimulate saliva production, necessary for remineralisation, balance oral microbiome and can help support gut microbiome and sinus cleansing too.
Our Organic Swishing Oils have been specially formulated to help you achieve maximum results by optimising your oil pulling practice. Our unique oil pulling oil blend contains organic oils that are anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and nutrient-dense, which together supports the health, healing and regeneration of mouth tissues.
Put it All Together
Together, these two oral care habits help neutralise ‘bad’ bacteria and support optimal oral hygiene and health, thereby helping to prevent oral issues or ailments from arising. We each only get one set of adult teeth, so it is vital to do what we can to look after them for life and to support our whole-body wellbeing for all our days.
Oil Pulling Tip for the Time-Poor
We suggest getting into the habit of practicing oil pulling at this same time each day. Pick a consistent part of your daily routine when you don’t need to talk to others, ideally first thing in the morning before you consume anything, or otherwise at least 2 hours after eating a meal.
Perhaps you take a shower every morning. If it takes you up to 5 minutes to get ready to shower, 10 minutes to shower, and up to 5 minutes to dry off, you could be oil pulling that whole time and meet your 15-20 minute a day goal – it’s that easy!
And remember, oil pulling for even just 5 minutes a day is so much better for the longevity of your teeth and gums than not oil pulling at all!
More Preventative Oral Care Tips
- Practice Tongue Cleaning: Use a tongue cleaner first thing in the morning before oil pulling to help remove build-up of plaque and toxins on tongue, to prevent bad breath, and to speed results from oil pulling.
- Use Soft Bristled Toothbrushes: Choose toothbrushes with soft bristles and always brush gently to avoid damaging enamel.
- Use Toothpicks: Our interdental perio sticks are perfect for keeping food debris from building up in the mouth during the day, preventing bacteria build-up.
