Maintaining Oral Health Naturally

Tooth decay, gingivitis, and periodontitis are chronic conditions that can contribute to other serious health conditions like heart and cardiovascular problems. Micro-organisms can enter the bloodstream or airways and travel to other areas of the body. Along with regular dental hygiene, some natural supports include: 1) A low-sugar, high-greens diet – to keep an alkaline environment. 2) Oil pulling – use quality organic sesame or coconut oil and swish in the mouth for 20 minutes to help draw out toxins (then spit it out). 3) Probiotics – open a capsule and swish before swallowing or try a specific oral-based lozenge or spray.
