I wish I found oil-pulling aaaaages ago!! 😩

Oil pulling utilizes coconut oil and essential oils l, such as spearmint, to help pull out the bacteria from the mouth to reduce plaque and gingivitis! Did you know that plaque turns into tartar if it stays on the teeth for too long?!

I found that out after freaking out thinking I chipped my tooth in this process, but later realized it was calcified tartar! 😂

Anyways, let’s breakdown the experience:

THE EXPERIENCE:
The only thing that was hard was swishing the oil around my mouth for 10 minutes and not accidentally locking my teeth and jaws together in a super tight manner, where my jaw would feel tired from all the swishing. I immediately noticed a difference on day one. My mouth felt moisturized and didn’t smell like I ate out of a garbage can throughout the day! My gums also seemed less inflamed and my tooth sensitivity was gone! As I continued the treatment, the results stayed consistent and my teeth were naturally getting brighter!

HOW IT COMPARES TO MOUTHWASH:
Although they are both meant to resolve the same issues, I found that mouthwash only masked the symptoms and worked best while you were using it. However if you stopped, it would all come back. With oil-pulling I could skip a few days and continue to not experience the bad breath and dry mouth!

IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE:
Many mouthwashes have alcohols and ingredients that promote cleaning of your teeth and gums. However, alcohol acts as an astringent and can cause further dryness in the mouth. As for the cleaning agents, some can be too harsh even though it’s used in small quantities in the mouthwash formulation, which also has the potential to aggravate dry mouth, bad breath, and tooth sensitivity. Read your labels with the mouthwashes or just skip it all and switch to oil-pulling!
